Did the Nelson deal kill Obamacare?
Senator Ben Nelson sold out Nebraska for a massive special deal in the senate's health care takeover bill on Thursday. The White House thinks this makes the bill a done-deal but is it?
The bill now heads for committee where it the House and Senate versions must be reconciled. The Nelson deal just made that impossible. Everybody will want their own gravy train added to the bill and for once the greed of the ruling class will bring them down by their own hands.
I don't think Pelosi has the strength to play whack-a-mole with all the new requests for "special" treatment from the rank-and-file members. The Nelson deal may have saved us all.
