Lieberman says he'll filibuster Senate health care bill

Joe Lieberman: I'll block vote on Harry Reid's plan - Manu Raju - POLITICO.com

"We're trying to do too much at once," Lieberman said. “To put this government-created insurance company on top of everything else is just asking for trouble for the taxpayers, for the premium payers and for the national debt. I don’t think we need it now."

Lieberman said that he’d vote against a public option plan “even with an opt-out because it still creates a whole new government entitlement program for which taxpayers will be on the line."

“I can’t see a way in which I could vote for cloture on any bill that contained a creation of a government-operated-run insurance company,” Lieberman added. “It’s just asking for trouble – in the end, the taxpayers are going to pay and probably all people who have health insurance are going to see their premiums go up because there’s going to be cost shifting as there has been for Medicare and Medicaid.”

Way to go Joe

You're suprised that we're tired of being taxed into oblivion and watching our money be wasted and stolen with nothing we can do about it?
