The NeverEnding Story 0

Even the NeverEnding Story came to an end. In fact, it was about an hour and a half long, as contrasted to half a century.

Senate Republicans succeeded early Thursday in forcing a change in a measure altering President Barack Obama’s newly enacted health care overhaul, meaning the bill will have to return to the House for final congressional approval.

Jim Manley, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, said Republicans consulting with the Senate parliamentarian had found “two minor provisions” that violate Congress’ budget rules. The provisions deal with Pell grants for low-income students.

This story will come to an end also. Then, as with the other NeverEnding Story, there will be sequels. That’s part of why the Republicans fought so hard. They know that, as with social security and medicare, trying to make it go away (remember privatizing social security) is a no win.

The House Democrats will not back down now, not even if, as Shaun Mullen suggests, Joe the Plumber (what ever happened to him, anyhow?) gets the call.
