Missed Tuesday's Cavuto ? Catch "The Deal" right here on FOXBusiness.com
Merry Christmas, to one and all!!!
Here's the deal.
Don't worry if you don't have the tree... Washington's got the ornaments.
Plenty of 'em.
Because if you can think it, Congress will gift-wrap it.
With the health-care package to end all packages.
A package so big, and packed with so many amendments, that even Santa’s worried it won't fit in his sleigh.
Now...Doesn't that "sleigh" 'ya?
Not too long ago that mean old Grinch Max Baucus was balking at anything that would cost...
Now, we're told his heart grew 10 times this day... Just as his mind apparently shrunk by the same factor.
Hard to say with all this new spending.
What we can say is Washington’s on some early Christmas hot cocoa high, and if you want it, they'll include it.
And even dour old Max Baucus will sign off on it...
If you'll support it.
Don't know what happened in Who-ville.
What I do know is nobody seems to care.
Because what was once a reasonable health-care bill has turned into a Who-ville banquet, complete with the roast beast and the roast taxpayer.
Think Toys ‘R’ Us meets health-care-for-us.
Or if you will, a shopping spree...With syringes.
To date...564 amendments to cover everything from an additional $50 billion to make insurance more affordable for working families...To a billion smackers to train more nurses.
Still another measure that increases annual fees on health-insurance providers to help folks pay their premiums...
And another that demands no premiums at all for workers in high-risk fields, such as firefighters.
In fact, the add-ons are piling on so fast...That not even the Grinch, err... Max... Can keep track of 'em all.
Word is, even Max is close to saying the hell with it.
Which he won't.
Because it's Christmas.
Which it isn't.
Because it's not.
But don't tell Max. And don't tell the folks in Who-ville, I mean, Washington.
They're spending.
We're just spent.
