Late last week, Nancy Pelosi announced the House’s 1,990 page version of Obamacare. 1,990 pages, and that’s BEFORE House Democrats add their typical hundreds and hundreds of pages of amendments. 1,900 pages, and it is basically a placeholder for details to be filled in by bureaucrats and political appointees at some point after it is signed into law!

The United States Constitution, the document which defines this entire nation and which created the most prosperous, most free, most envied nation in the history of the world, clocks in at 4,500 WORDS. If you add every single amendment, the Constitution is still below 8,000 words, and Democrats insist that it takes Constitutional scholars who spend their lives studying the document and who must then get together in aggregate to argue it out all in order to simply understand what those 8,000 words mean. Apparently, it’s too difficult for the average boob out here in the populace to truly understand words as mystifying as “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.” It HAS to be because all of those Democrat Constitutional Scholars have concluded that the judiciary can legislate AND that executive branch scrambled-letter agencies can legislate as well. So much for Constitutional Scholars.

Even though the US Constitution was written in words that the average 18th century farmer and merchant could understand, Democrats NEED us to believe that only Ivy League scholars who have spent their careers studying can possibly grasp the document’s meaning. BUT Pelosi’s 1,900 page behemoth, written in language the average Philadelphia lawyer would find difficult to digest if they spent five lifetimes trying, is so straightforward that our congressmen (average IQ of …what… 90?) can read it, understand it thoroughly enough to vote on it and cast their votes in less than a week!

4,500 words defined an entire nation. Over more than 200 years, another 3,500 defined changes to them. Pelosi and the Democrats need roughly 500,000 words (typical written page is 250 words) to define a placeholder! Are you SERIOUS?

The Washington Post reported on Saturday:

According to a preliminary estimate by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, expanding coverage to an additional 36 million Americans would cost $1.055 trillion over the next decade under the House plan, counting tax breaks for small businesses, subsidies for low- and moderate-income families, and the largest expansion of Medicaid since its inception more than 40 years ago.

That’s more than $2,000,000 PER WORD! WOW! Must be important words from some really, really intelligent people, huh? Well, actually, Democrat leaders in the House got together behind closed doors, locking all opposition voices out of the discussion, and told their staffers what to put into the bill. Nancy Pelosi, who announced that 500 million Americans would lose their jobs every month if the Porkulus bill didn’t pass. Steny Hoyer, who actually laughed at the idea that Congressmen would actually read the bill before voting on it. Charlie Rangel, the man in charge of writing tax bills but who didn’t know he had to pay taxes himself. These House leaders, etc. who cannot have an aggregate IQ over 100, turned the task over to their staffers - 20-something clerks with no real-world experience - at a cost of $2 million per word!

Democrats, of course, had to get the bill under Obama’s $900 BILLION target, so they deduct the penalties they are going to impose on US Citizens who do not comply with their citizenship requirement to buy insurance, and get the number down to $894 billion. That’s $159 BILLION ($159,000,000,000) Democrats are counting on from punishing formerly-free American citizens who do not comply with Government-Almighty’s despotic dictates!

Oh…and by the way…

The entire thing is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

America. It was great while it lasted.
