KK I think I did answer you. There is a republican bill in congress that no one is talking about. Why? The D's aren't interested, and appear to be determined to do what they want. What happened over the weekend when Obama said a public option wasn't a deal breaker for him? The extreme left wing lost their minds, then the white house back peddled. Anything that gets passed will most certainly contain items that are unpalatable to the R's. So why go along with it? Why not wait and give the old "it wasn't us" when election time comes. Unfortunately that isn't any kind of real leadership. You'll get no argument from me about how lame it is. If both sides are really concerned both sides need to give. So far I haven't seen the D's give, other than the end of life care, and the only reason they gave on that is because they were getting smashed for it. Before ya go there,,, don't try to link me to death panels. I have said over and over that I am not buying into that.

We aren't talking about chump change here. It is estimated that welfare to illegals in California is costing the state 640 million per year. To say there will be "some" taking advantage of the system seems a little idealistic.
