Now it's up to $2.6 trillion

That's the latest - sixth - upward revision of the cost over ten years to taxpayers of Freedom-Hater-care.

How I would love to know the exact number of Americans who understand what this means, who have been paying even a minimal degree of attention.  It seems to me those who don't - and maybe I don't want to see that percentage laid out in all its horrifying specificity - fall into two categories: those who immerse themselves in circumscribed concerns ranging from the laudible (family, career) to the fluffy (sports, hobbies, pop music), and those who are leftist activists, who do indeed pay enough attention to know that there is still a force out there trying to stop this madness, and react with that "It's-a-done-deal-so-keep-your-hands-off-my-health-care" ignorance that is currently prevailing in our apparently doomed society.

This war gets tougher to wage by the day.  Of course, that's annoying, but it's not a deterrence.
