As an update on the story out of Libby, where Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius joined Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) for a listening session Monday, apparently Senator Baucus- the Chairman of the US Senate Finance Committee who helped author the federal health care bill- still hasn't even read the entire thing.

This according to The Flathead Beacon which filed this report.

Judy Matott asked Baucus if he would work to improve Libby’s image, and then asked him and Sebelius, “if either of you read the health care bill before it was passed and if not, that is the most despicable, irresponsible thing.”
Baucus replied that if Libby residents assembled an economic development plan, he would do what he could to help, and he took credit for “essentially” writing the health care bill that passed the Senate.
“I don’t think you want me to waste my time to read every page of the health care bill. You know why? It’s statutory language,” Baucus said. “We hire experts.”

ol maxi wants to take credit for "writing" the bill but then admits he never even read it. WOW! :shock:
so who are these experts "we" hire?
who is we?
who pays for these "experts"?
so who's running this country? I thought we elected representatives to write, read, and pass these bills.

I had heard from a local lady who attended an event where Baucus spoke, that he admitted then that he hadn't read the bill.

We need to throw the bum out. Too bad we didn't do it the last time
he ran for office. I hope the people of Montana are more informed the next time around.

well FH- it is the purely partisan libtards like ot that are liplocked to the teat that ol bring home the bacon baucus apeals to.
they are so sucked into the "need" government payments thing that they can not see the boxtrap leaning over the carrot that's dangled in front of them. they will sell out their Freedom and ours trying to get that dollar.
That dollar borrowed from china that our grandchildren are mortgauged for, so they are selling out the next few generations freedom too!
This is the danger of socialism!
you know the Bible says "a good man leaves an inheritance for his childrens children"-- what are we leaving for our grandchildren- DEBT!!
but people like ot get his government payments now, he gets his promise of "free" healthcare now. etc. so they will stay purely partisan and vote for the bacon and attack the TEA party or anyone else that doesn't line up with their "give me something someone else earned" philosophy.
as long as they have a few bucks ( someone else will have to earn) burning a hole in their pockets to spend at the local watering hole, life is grand. To them that maybe is freedom.
So ot raise a toast to baucus this afternoon at the ol watering hole-
and the next time you see your gandchildren and great grandchildren be sure and thank them for that round they bought just so you could get someone to drink with you while you blame bush for everything.
