Today's "One Giant Leap For Mankind" story

Details at the Washington Times about the Dems' SCHIP bit.

Key point:

"To pay for the plan, House Democrats propose a 45-cents-per-pack cigarette tax increase, which they say would raise about $27 billion.

They also proposed cuts to the Medicare Advantage program, a program that works to provide health care services for rural seniors and minority communities across the nation. The cuts would save billions of dollars more, Democrats say."

Yeah, thats the ticket.....pit the NEA against AARP.

THAT would be fun to watch!
