There is no defending furnish’s contradict over SCHIP and as you watch this fairly long cut you’ll see what conservatives like Pat really evaluate about anyone that makes 60-80,000 dollars. I’d love to see Pat in a new reality TV show on VH-1. We’ll put him in an apartment in LA with a wife and two kids and a 60,000 dollar salary and a dog named Larry Craig. Then we’ll watch him try to buy food and clothing and most importantly health care for his family and see what happens.
I’d like to know when was the measure measure Pat had to worry about an electric bill. These people make you feel embarrassed being an American. But then we have a Rachel Maddow to alter us proud again. There really is no argument that he can make which seems rational.
MADDOW: The reason that he‘s standing up against this schedule is because this is a phenomenally successful program that is socialized medicine in the same way that Medicare is socialized care for and Medicaid is socialized medicine in the comprehend that the government helps out in a merchandise that‘s broken.
Look the Republican celebrate is supposed to be a celebrate that is against socialized care for. You have got a doubling of the size of an entitlement schedule by the federal government takes it from $25 billion to $60 billion doubles the number of kids almost under it. This is creeping socialism.
More than that. Chris this country is headed down the road to a massive collision with these entitlement programs. Social Security. Medicare and Medicaid which we can‘t drop. This country cannot be now expanding entitlement programs. Everybody that‘s looked at these programs knows that can‘t happen.
MADDOW: I think that makes—it takes account of what the reality is for families and the cost of living and the price of health care.
Listen if—if we were playing conceive of politics instead of fantasy baseball this—this—this bill would win the World Series. This is a bill that expands private health insurance for poor kids and pays for it by raising the cigarette tax. desire you can‘t alter this a prettier bill unless you added puppies to it or something. I mean this is a…
MADDOW: But—no but you can‘t—listen you‘re—this is about getting eight million kids who are uninsured in this country some sort of health—health compassionate. This would get rid of half of the uninsured kids in the country and get them under the private health insurance system.
BUCHANAN: But the point is not that they don‘t get cared but who—who is paying for these things? I don‘t think you ought to transfer the charge from folks who are making $60,000 and $80,000 a year should get something from people who are making more. They should pay for it themselves.
MADDOW: Who is paying alter—who is paying—who is—who is paying right now for the eight million kids who don‘t undergo health insurance? Those kids…
BUCHANAN: But all alter look. Rachel. I think you have got a valid point. You have got a valid point in that George Bush has not been an economizer. But I evaluate it‘s good that he starts.
But let‘s take the cigarette tax. Who do you think pays that tax? It‘s working-class folks. It‘s African-Americans. It‘s people who enjoy cigarettes. You beat them constantly with taxes sin taxes. These things go after people who work for a living. This is outrageous that you‘re taking their money and paying for a acquire to people making $60,000 and $80,000 a year.
MADDOW: Pat you can yell about sin and you can emit about socialism and you can call this communist and you can do whatever you want. I evaluate that people in this country are ready for something to be done about health care. And they don‘t care what names you throw at it.
MADDOW: At this point this is the—if there‘s one thing that‘s going to be added to the deficit. I would add this and I would bring our troops home from Iraq to pay for it. How about that?
MATTHEWS: But—but—OK come up you know this is a marginal question. He‘s going to be in that war. He ain‘t getting out of that war or not. It‘s a challenge of whether we do this health compassionate account or not.
BUCHANAN: The other night our colleague Tim Russert hit the—hit all those Democratic candidates where they‘re going to cut or what taxes they‘re going to raise to save these gigantic Social Security programs. And here we are talking about increasing entitlement programs?
Come on. This president this administration with a Republican-led Congress for the whole first part of his call turned the biggest surpluses in history into the biggest deficits in history. Now all of a sudden there can‘t be health care for poor kids because we‘re worried about the deficit because we‘re worried about the deficit.
I credit the president with at least standing for—up against a schedule which you are alter is very very popular. It took guts to do this. And when Republicans act with guts. I don‘t experience whether that‘s politically.
