What WSJ Has To Say About The Pelosi Health Bill: "The Worst Bill Ever"

Floor Speech

Date: Nov. 3, 2009
Location: Washington, DC

Mrs. LUMMIS. Mr. Speaker, I lament hearing that people who attend TEA parties are somehow uninformed or misinformed Americans. They're hardworking Americans who are informed and have taken the time to become informed, and they know what's in this bill.

But if you think that they have been misled into thinking that this bill is an extreme bill by those of us who are in the Republican Party, listen to what the Wall Street Journal says. Go to wsj.com.

They call this ``the worst bill ever.'' ``Epic new spending and taxes, pricier insurance, rationed care, dishonest accounting: the Pelosi health bill has it all.''

And it concludes by saying: ``Critics will say we are exaggerating, but we believe it is no stretch to say that Mrs. Pelosi's handiwork ranks with the Smoot-Hawley tariff as among the worst bills Congress has ever seriously contemplated.''

This is not TEA Party extremists; this is the Wall Street Journal.
