Wreckonciliation©

Sharky&Sharky has invented a new term, Wreckonciliation. Wreckonciliation is a government knowingly destroying a significant social institution by implementing a new institution or furthering the aims of an existing institution or governmental program without regard for the unintended consequences. The term wreckonciliation is most properly used only in those instance where the negative, unintended, imperious, perverse,or unforeseen consequences are catastrophic. The Scholar Merton identified “imperious immediacy of interest”as a category of unintended consequences. This is a blind commitment to an action to such a degree that one purposefully chooses to ignore any unintended consequences.
Now Sharky&Sharky knows that you have spent a year studying the America's Affordable Health Choices act of 2009, 2309 pages,This is the House Reconciliation Bill .You are aware that it includes such items as your coverage will not be dropped at the discretion of the insurer, coverage of preexisting conditions, up to 31 million uninsured people will be provided subsidies so that they will be insured. All of us will be required to have health insurance. Abortion will be funded. The bill does not reduce ongoing Medicare deficits. The Bill does not control cost. Look for the public option to reappear.
Here is a Ryan's approach: Congressman Paul Ryan's Republican Budget Roadmap


Ryan's Presentation to the President.

Ok we agree tis could be a bad bill; so how does wreckonciliation have a part in this? Whether the Health Bill is good or bad it will have to stand on its own. What is being wreckconciled? Do you remember the US Constitution? This is what is being wrecked. Reviewing that Institution's Article 1 Section 7 Clause 2: “Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States: If he approves he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it.” This is the presentment clause; it confirms that the only way a bill can become law is that it must be passed in identical form by both chambers and it must be signed by the President. The two bills prior to going to the President for signing must go to a conference committee composed of members of both chambers to reconcile the differences in the two versions of the bill. The final single bill then goes back to both chambers for final approval/vote. The singular approved bill goes to the President for signing into law. Lets us set aside the Presidents veto scenario.

This bill reconciliation should not be confused with Budget Reconciliation. Budget Reconciliation is a change to the Budget which is already a law. Normally the changes are within the scope of the Budget that was approved by both houses and has been signed into law by the President. The bill reconciliation is a reconciling Chamber differences on a bill. Slick Sister Pelosi is going to try to use Budget Reconciliation to achieve passage of the Health Plan. Doesn't this make your head hurt?

Congresswomen Pelosi and Slaughter in their “imperious immediacy of interest” want to use the budget reconciliation process to push through the President's Health Plan. Now follower's of Sharky&Sharky, wreckonciliation will require you to think very very slowly to follow this.

First, the House of Representatives (HR) must approve the Christmas Eve Senate version of the health bill as it stands. That health bill for example includes funding for abortion which some members of the House do not approve of. No matter! HR must approve of everything in the Senate bill exactly as it is. The Senate bill cannot go back to the Senate due to the election of Scott Brown. The Democrats no longer have 51 votes, a majority in the Senate.

Second, the leadership of the House will deem the Senate bill as law and force the vote on the Reconciliation Bill noted above. Thus the House will never vote on the Health Plan per se which is in violation of the Constitution. This vote on the HR Reconciliation Bill is the much talked about straight up and down vote. Thus the members of HR can say that they never voted on the Health Plan they only voted for the Reconciliation Bill or a Slaughter Rule which is deemed as an alternative for the Senate bill.

Third, After the President signs the Health Bill into law. The Health Plan will go to the Senate as a law, with the hope that the Senate will endorse at least some of the changes in the HR Reconciliation Bill. It does not matter if the Senate does or does not approve of any of the Reconciliation bill from the House, the original Senate bill will now be law. Thus a law will be created that did not use the Constitutional process to create a law. Is it a law? No it is monster.

Now dear reader you can see that your beloved Constitution has been raped, Wreckconciled. It is now sitting on the side of the road despoiled awaiting the next Wreckconciliation.
