opinion | The Thickest ‘Skinny’ Spending Bill Ever

Democrats are slowly reconciling themselves to the reality that they may have to settle for a “small” partisan health spending bill to be passed. But don’t be a fool. Their definition of small has expanded like American clothing sizes, and their so-called slim bill is a huge expansion in the entitlement state.

West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin says he is ready to pass a bill that would impose drug price controls for two years to reportedly pay for sweet Obamacare insurance subsidies. Like Obamacare, Americans will know what’s in it after this bill is passed.
