From George Will on ABC’s This Week:
I think it’s madness for them to spend another three months at least on health care when the country wants them to turn to other matters. The president’s second sentence of his State of the Union address last year said we all know that the primary question is jobs and the economy. So they spent a year on health care, and they dare not surely do that again. And their votes are simply not there for the big bill . . . I don’t think the country is angry so much today as it is sober and frightened. And it’s frightened by the deficits, the sense that there’s no plausible economic assumption that will make this turn out well. So I expect the president on Wednesday night will come in with a plan — and it will be bogus and rejected — to have a commission that will recommend difficult choices on entitlements and taxes and all the rest.
