well...
altho the msm have been all over obamacare's SLASHING of medicare by a full HALF TRILLION DOLLARS, the DOUBLE COUNTING of another QUARTER TRIL (according to cbo), the passage of the DOC FIX at another QUARTER TRIL off budget, the fact that doctors are ALREADY refusing to take on new medicare patients, the QUARTER TRIL burden placed on already BANKRUPT states in the form of MEDICAID expansion, the fact that ER COSTS actually INCREASE, the inclusion of more than THREE QUARTERS OF A TRIL of new TAXES (according to cbo)...

the first most americans, including DAVID GREGORY, apparently, heard of this HUNDRED AND FIVE BILLION DOLLARS of appropriations occurred when ms bachmann, with her usual visual aids, went on mtp last sunday to tell us all about it
of course, what would normal americans expect from a two thousand seven hundred page bill which must first be passed before we can all know what's in it
most americans recall, for example, how ahab obama PROMISED us all repeatedly that he would work out his health care bill on CSPAN

he quite evidently LIED about that
but what would an experienced electorate expect from a party that would CRAM a radical redrawing of ONE SIXTH of our economy via SENATE RECONCILIATION, mere days after the party was prepared to DEEM the damn thing
so the hundred and five B's which cbo elmendorf naturally scored with all the other crap presented to him by the party in power were certainly not very well known to most americans before ms bachmann went public with em
but the real problem with the appropriations is not so much its passage in the dark
no, worse is the fact that the allocation of this TENTH OF A T is left to the DISCRETION of ms sebelius over at hhs, INDEPENDENT OF CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT

why do so many want OUT?
why does hhs keep LETTING EM GO?
how do you EXPAND medicare and medicaid by millions while CUTTING their already overly relied upon FUNDING?
why do so many "adults" spend so much time trying to score microscopic debate points vs anonymous personalities instead of looking at the big, multi trillion dollar picture?
party on, progressives
