Good Enough For Us, But Not For Them

The Great, Fabulous health care bill that will have deep and lasting effects upon all of us, has been determined by the House Energy and Commerce Committee to be not good enough for the President and the Congress.

I see this over at Redstate in a post by Jeff Emmanuel.

The committee site is here, but it is not functioning because of the high traffic, and has not kept up with the voting.

The first vote was on an amendment to permit all Americans to share the same medical plan that Congress has. That was voted down by the Democrats by 31-28.

The second would have required all Members of Congress and Federal public officials to be automatically enrolled in the so-called public plan.

This was ruled not germane by Democratic Chairman Waxman, saving the Democrats from having to vote on it.

Surprise, surprise.

Who would have thought that we would see Congress feeling that their plan was too good for us peons, and their plan for us was not good enough for them?

That is precisely what they have done.

Outrageous.

But what can we expect from that den of thieves?

Will Rogers was right:

"The only native criminal class in America is Congress."

And the worst are Democrats.
