111 New Bureacracies in Pelosi’s Healthcare Bill

Any
Congressman who has an ounce of common sense should vote against
Pelosi’s healthcare bill. 

 

Her bill is
1,990 pages long,
contains
400,000 words,
and comes in at
$2.24 Million per word.

 

If this were not enough, there
are 111
newly-created federal bureaucracies
that would have to be formed to take care of the massive
requirements of Pelosi’s bill.  When the healthcare bills began
to surface in the summer, we were amazed when



53 new healthcare agencies

were proposed.  Now the list has swelled in typical
Beltway-thinking to
111 new federal healthcare

agencies. 

 

Voters sent a clear message
last night when they elected three conservative Republicans in
Virginia (Governor, Lt. Governor, and Attorney General) and a
new conservative Republican Governor in New Jersey.  Both
Virginia and New Jersey have been strongholds for the Democrat
Party. 

 

Corzine who lost in New Jersey
was a strong supporter of same-sex marriage and of abortions as
were the losers in Virginia.

 

Voters also repealed the
same-sex marriage law in Maine previously passed by
the legislature in May and signed by the governor.  Conservative
voters prevailed there — 52.9% over 47.08%.   

 

The conservative candidate in
New York, Doug Hoffman, came within a few percentage points
of winning that Congressional contest. The significant aspect
about that race is that conservative supporters from around the
country got together and backed Doug Hoffman.  Democrats and
RINO’s should now realize that if conservatives decide to pool
their support and their donations, they can have a major impact
on a contest in some other state.  

 

Liberal congressmen who have an
ounce of political savvy should be very worried about Judgment
Day — Nov. 2, 2010.  It is coming; and if they support Pelosi’s
healthcare bill, they will find themselves looking for a new
place to hang their hats.   

 

Below is the list of
111
newly-created bureaucracies
found in H. R. 3962:
