Why not? $1 trillion to save 45,000 lives a year

Hey, anybody can make a mistake...twice.

So let's just put this in perspective: the same Republicans who didn't really mind spending $1 trillion to 'liberate' 4,385 U.S. troops and at least 30,000 Iraqis from this earth, are now locking arms in stalwart, principled opposition to a health care bill that would cost about $900 billion over 10 years and would prevent 45,000 or so American deaths per year.

Makes perfect sense, right? No? OK, lemme 'splain it to you: Republicans in Congress hate you and want you to die.
