In a post on health care reform a couple months ago, I quoted news reports that said the Democrat's proposal would create somewhere around 40 to 45 new federal agencies. I pointed out at that time that if the federal government actually stuck to just doing the things the Constitution says it should do, and nothing else, we wouldn't need 45 agencies to run the whole shootin' match.
Well it turns out I, and those news reports I quoted, were wrong. Or at least premature.
As this post from John Hinderaker at Powerline shows, the actual number of boards, agencies and the like that are either created or expanded by PelosiCare is actually 111. That's right, 111. Check out the list and don't miss the video from Congressman Mike Pence.
It's like the Democrats are saying they're going to start 111 new Departments of Motor Vehicles, and then let those people run your life by deciding everything about your health care.
If this thought scares you, this post over at Hugh Hewitt's website includes all the moderate Democrats that might be swayed by a last minute email or phone call. I've been firing off emails to these people for most of the last two days. Give it a try. Citizen involvement is fun. And vital.
