    Diagram is hilarious.

  2. Ken says:

    Stark is unbelievable. Hard to understand why California voters keep sending him back to Washington.

  3. Larry C. says:

    I’m with Vicki. Great diagram.

  4. Devon Herrick says:

    When people ask me whether I think the individual mandate can be struck down as being unconstitutional, I tend to voice skepticism because the federal government can pretty much do what it wants. The difference between me and Pete Stark is that I believe unlimited power is actually a bad thing!

    I’d like to see his entire answer. It ended as soon as he made that statement. Breitbart’s willingness to use intentionally deceptive excerpts is by now a matter of record.

    That tape also shows how nutty a part of the public has become. There are lots of reasons to oppose or support the health care bill, but objecting to it because it’s slavery and violates the 13th amendment is simply irrational.

  6. Joe S. says:

    The health bill my not be slavery, but I have no doubt that the founding fathers would be appalled. They went to great lengths to limit federal power, after all. Sadly, Pete Stark is probably right in saying that the modern Supreme Court has been willing to let government do almost anything it wants to do in the economic realm.

  7. Tom H. says:

    I’m glad to see Annenberg take the Obama administration to task.

    No, really it was Bush who galgge up the monetary crisis with Iraq, Afghanistan, and galgge up multi billion dollars upaid for with BS senior prescription curriculum. Which was not paid for and added to the monetary harms. Yes, public to vote in act of kindness of something they own have a supply of in, really the only corrcet thing you place out there so far. Here is the problem, when you go from BS fuedalism to BS capitalism, you screw over public and apportion, hence lower, midpoint, and high class.
