Friday's paper displayed a gleeful Nancy Pelosi announcing that she and House Democrats were releasing their 1,990-page health care reform bill ("Health bill unveiled," Page A8). One wonders if she has read and understands the entire document.
The article includes the Congressional Budget Office cost estimate of $894 billion. On average that amounts to about $450 million per page - very expensive paper indeed!
It's amazing how Democrats enjoy spending large amounts of money they don't have.
