Healthcare passes House... RIP America

CNN has the scoop here.

Well played America ... you had a good run, but Ben Franklin was right:

When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.
Thanks America. RIP 1776-2010. Now we just wait for the downward spiral. Perhaps from the ashes of this we can build a free society but ... I'm not sure this is salvageable.

Thoughts?

    Umm, thoughts? I know where a couple more MGs and other such stuff are that are transferable to non SOTs on Form 4s and you might like to have one or three? Umm...Reloading is a good hobby? It's always good to have a couple decent .22LRs around as well and worst case, you can scavenge from the dead??? Weidner's is running some really good deals on ammo??? Keep some water and tackle on hand and a garden is a good idea???

    Best I can do on short notice. :-)

    Wish us ALL luck?

    Great quote, Chef! I must say that over the last couple of years I have come to the conclusion that its better to just have the whole f**ken thing collapse. Let them vote themselves goodies that will bankrupt us.
