If the President’s health care proposal is one thing, it’s clever. By rearranging, not removing, unfunded mandates and hiding, not eliminating, special deals like the Louisiana Purchase, he has produced a package that may look new at first glance, but upon closer review, in fact does just what the previously-rejected bills would have done: displaces Texas’ priorities with Washington’s priorities and sweetheart deals.
