Is the most frightening and he identifies here, we look at the debt we have now and we havent started to add on the future commitments. this passes through an approach underneath the door or around the door like smoke, we have an obligation you cant get out of. you cant obligate because what youre doing is pushing other tos out. creating a monopoly. thats all you have left. when you obligate, thats all you have left. they look and say where do i go now? nothing else is there. we have to keep pay...

To her and i dont know how much we can depend. i heard what was just said and im not knocking them, but weve got to get a bill through. >> so theres absolutely no way at this point and that there could be any viable of the public option. videotapes, signatures, verbal commitments that would change the house members mind. is this all about conservatives getting on board and getting some of the 39 who voted against the house bill the first time around? >> i think it probably is. its easy for peopl...
