It was written in accordance with the true American spirit: "Find a way for someone else to pay your expenses." Everyone just loves Santa Clause, except for those from which he must steal in order to be able to give away so much. That is the true nature of this bill, yet another tax-and-spend scheme, using the poor little children as political shields. What descent human could oppose a measure to insure their health? The authors of this offensive chose, as a funding source, a group which they believe would not have much of a political base, those who manufacture, sell and consume tobacco. Congress would not even dare to consider financing a measure benefiting children with taxes on such things as baby food, diapers, children's clothing, juvenile furniture or toys. Never in a million years could we count on something that fair happening in the land of the free and the home of the brave! Who could be against the SCHIP bill?
