An Exercise in Futility

Very cute. The House is trying to play government today by passing a bill to repeal the health care law that probably won't come to a vote in the Senate, stands little chance of passing the Senate if it comes to a vote (I bet the Republicans will regret the 60-vote requirement if this comes up), and will certainly be vetoed. Regardless, Speaker Boehner rammed the repeal down our throats today to use his terminology.

Since they spent so much time pretending to care about the deficit, I will remind the Speaker that his bill raises the deficit by a whopping $230 billion.
