Another big new entitlement

Hennessey "Obamacare vs. the Fiscal Responsibility Commission": "If the pending health care bills are enacted, I anticipate their repeal will be Topic A for the Fiscal Responsibility Commission."

Meanwhile, and with apologies to W.B. Yeats:
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Washington to cash in trillions of IOUs
It's Entitlement Jr. - Social Security - looking for the cash the federal government promised years and years ago. Just wait until Entitlement Megatron arrives, less than a decade from now. Boy howdy.

I think it better that in times like these
A poet's mouth be silent, for in truth
We have no gift to set a statesman right.
