Massive Bill = Massive Increase in Government

Friday evening Senator John Ensign wanted to prove a point. To prove just how big of a change the health care bill will be to America, he printed out all 2074 pages of the proposed health care bill and carried the 20lb, 2 foot tall stack into Congress and planted it on his desk for all to see. Ensign said, "It's a massive increase in government" as he spread his arms wide to depict the size of the bill. According to Americans for Tax Reform, the bill contains the word "tax" 551 times, the word "require" 1000 times, and the word "shall" 3500 times. Clearly not matter what this bill accomplishes it will inevitably result in more taxes, work and bureaucracy for the average tax payer.

Though proponents of the bill say that it will bring many benefits to the nation people should take a step back and realize that the more legislation in effect the greater burden there is on the citizens of America to abide by such legislation. Just keep that in mind or the next bill that comes to the floor might require a fork lift to bring in.
