S-CHIP “Logic”

As usual, George Will nails it:

S-CHIP is described as serving "poor children" or children of "the working poor." Everyone agrees that it is for "low income" people. Under the bill that Democrats hope to pass over the president's veto on Thursday, states could extend eligibility to households earning $61,950. But America's median household income is $48,201. How can people above the median income be eligible for a program serving lower-income people?

Its amazing how the Dems are spinning this one, in fact outright lying.

I got an e-mail newsletter from my congressman, Altmire the Douchebag (sorry, its his official title), and it included the whole "Bush wants to take health care away from poor children!" What a putz. I wrote back, but I'm sure his staff will just dismiss what I had to say.
