Sarah Palin rules our Congress
Oh, sure.
Wouldn't want that.
A controversial cost-cutting panel created by ObamaCare would see its budget cut by $10 million if the nearly $1.1-trillion spending bill released Tuesday night passes in its current form.
The Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), though it has not been convened, is strongly opposed by Republican lawmakers.
That would be the panel intended to review increases in Medicare spending and advise Congress on potential cuts or changes that could be made. Or, if you are Sarah Palin looking to rouse a base of paranoid morons, "death panels!"
My only note here is that we'll pay over $80 million to two guys for advice on how best to torture captive foreigners, but $10 million to review Medicare spending is too much. Our torture money has to come from somewhere, and sometimes tough choices need to be made.
