Feeling like I have pulled an all nighter, the choice on whether to opine on this ludicrous bill, seems a waste of effort. We all know the drill. In cult like fashion no less sinister than David Koresh, the senate members are deprived of sleep, herded together for weeks at a time, disconnected from their families during this most sacred time of the year, threatened in unmentionable ways, to do the Master’s bidding. And for Nelson? Just another Judas for a bit more than 30 pieces.
As if the god or goddess did not do their best by providing one of the worst snow storms ever, that would not dissuade Reid from literally risking the members lives. We have now seen the ultimate power.
While Nebraskans will get new Medicaid mandates covered by the federal government, most other states will sink under the weight of new unfunded mandates. Here’s how Nebraska’s Governor described the problem before Nelson struck his bargain:
“The State of Nebraska cannot afford an unfunded mandate and uncontrolled spending of this magnitude.”
Will Nebraskans be proud of Nelson’s tactics, or ashamed that Nelson has turned Nebraska into a beggar state relying on others to pay Nebraska’s way?
Will Nebraskans sit back in quiet satisfaction knowing that Nebraska has been saved from further unfunded mandates, while other states crumble, or feel like the proverbial person who lay down with dogs and got up with fleas?
Only time will tell.
