Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX): “If the IRS and Medicare Had a Baby, It Would Look Like This”

Posted by Kevin Boland on November 7th, 2009

At a press conference this morning with House Republican Leaders, Joint Economic Committee (JEC) Ranking Republican Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX) employed a colorful metaphor in his effort to describe the vast new government bureaucracy that will be established if Speaker Pelosi’s $1.3 trillion government takeover of health care becomes law.  Video and remarks follow:

We developed this chart based on Nancy Pelosi’s new health care plan….The new chart shows more than 90 of these new mandates, commissions and agencies.   The true number is well over 100, we simply ran out of space. 

In terms of sheer bureaucracy, if the IRS and Medicare had a baby, it would look like this.  And the question is how is that going to make our health care more affordable?

    Me and my family are pulling for you to Kill this Bill. The government is not the answer to any of our problems just the cause of them all.

    I am watching this on CSPAN right now. Where do these people get the nerve that they are the cure all. Hows the USPS doing with there 7 billion dollar short fall. medi care broke, amtrak broke, medicaid broke, all facets of government national, city and local broken systems.

  3. Jerry Collette Says:

    We know why this program is being forced by the Obama whitehouse. It has little to do with health care of caring for the people. He cares very little about the people. It is his wish to economically break the back of this country by making every citizen totally dependent on Gov’t support. The underlying motive is socialism and all of its evils and weaknesses.
    Obama at heart is a Marksist and a socialist and will not stop until he converts America to this form of Government. If Republicans do not stop him we are doomed.

    Shall means must, do they have a Websters up there on the hill?

    No politican, should force anything on the public that they themselves aren’t included to have. This must be mandatory……No more politicians exempt from everything they force on us. Tax payers pay for you to be where you are right now.

  6. V. VanCamp Says:

    And we think health care insurance is a mess! Keep the pressure on and you have my backing.

  7. clinton junker Says:

    So hiring part time employees is where we want to go so we can get around the system. All work will soon be done under the table like the pay offs are done in Washington “under the table”.

    Taxes kill prosperity and kill the desire to succeed.

    No public option

    Ihave watched this all day. The democrats every time they get up, it,s lie lie lie and lie

  15. Jackie Waters Says:

    The American Way of Life is at stake! Republican House members did not do enough to take their plan to the American People. The Republicans need to embrace the Tea Party Movement in a big way. Now is the time to earn the support of the American People. I strongly urge all Republican House members to educate the American people on what Pelosi Care means to them. Republican leaders in the House should help the Republican Members of the Senate STOP OBAMA’S take over. Please do something to help us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If Medicare and the IRS had a baby and it would look like Mr. Brady’s chart, then I’m all for abortion (0f this “baby”).

    Rep. Brady: This is the most ludicrious massive takeover of American Citizens that I have ever witnessed in my entire 65 years. I simply can’t fathom the audacity of the house thinking that our constitution doesn’t mean anything any more. Just the cost of the administration of this program would eat up so much money that it would in itself drive up the defecit to untold numbers. While Britain and other European countries are trying their hardest to get out of these kinds of systems, we, not even looking at their costs and mistakes, want to go even further into a takeover than they do. It is a bottomless pit and who knows who will control all of this and I have great concerns about Obama’s czars already with their radical unAmerican views that I fear what powers they would hold that even congress couldn’t stop. This needs to be stopped dead in it’s tracks before our economy and small businesses are ruined. Please do your best not to let this monstrosity see the light of day ever. Thank you for your continued efforts and we out here will do what we can to see that as many of the democrats who voted for this thing go home in 2010. It’s just a payback to unions and special interest groups-even the new republican from Arkansas sold out.
