Pelosi: "We Will have the votes"

The Hill is reporting today that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is fairly certain that by Saturday night, she'll have the votes needed in the US House to pass her 1,990 page plan for a government takeover of health care.

“We will,” Pelosi said, when asked if she had the 218 votes needed to pass the $1.055 trillion bill, designed to extend healthcare to 96 percent of the population and create a government health insurance plan.

Pelosi made the prediction as Democrats prepare for a rare Saturday evening vote on their healthcare reform bill, the centerpiece of President Barack Obama’s agenda for his first year in office.

I say we require that they resolve the problems with the government run program of social security before they are allowed to bungle any other aspect of our lives. Anyone else agree?
