Chris Coons’ Statement on Signing of HCR

13 Comments
Got this via one of our loyal readers:(I still don't get any correspondence from the Coons campaign even though I've signed up for it.):
Congress made history Sunday night, adopting landmark health care reform critical for our nation's economic future and the well being of its citizens. It's great news for the more than 100,000 Delaware residents who are uninsured and the 70,000 Delaware residents who will qualify for tax credits to help them afford the health insurance they need. The bill passed Sunday night will also give 140,000 Delaware seniors access to free preventive care while lowering prescription drug costs for 25,000 seniors on a fixed income.

Mike Gave Us Quarters

You will remember when I first came to Delaware Liberal, my new compatriots were kind enough to allow me to bring over a logo I used on my old blog "Daily Delaware," the one with the Caesar Rodney quarter. I did not learn until many months later that our illustrious founder Jason330 was kind of reluctant to do that, since Mike Castle was the author of the 50 States Commemorative Coin Program Act of 1997 that created the 50 State Quarter Program, and since Jason330 was Mike Castle's mortal enemy. I was put in mind of that after reading the latest Kavips.

Coons for Senate’s Bad Start

I just got an email from the Coons campaign. The topic of the email was PayGo. Seriously? Look, I like the idea of PayGo, but here's how Coons puts it:
Every week, I'm watching Congress debate incredibly important issues that impact Delaware, even though they often don't get much press attention. Last week, the House of Representatives voted to reinstate "pay-as-you-go" rules. It doesn't sound exciting, but these rules make it much more difficult for Congress to increase spending or cut taxes unless they also vote for a way to pay for it.
