From MSNBC.com...
"House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer announced Wednesday that the House will vote next week on expanding the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, which will be funded by an increased excise tax on cigarettes and cigars."
Absolutely A-OK with me. Not a big fan of second-hand smoke. GoBama.

Absolutely fine with me as well. Even though this will cut further into the family budget - or maybe get Paul to quit.
ReplyDeleteI agree, but we gotta watch moves like this. Sometimes these things are just a sneaky way to shuffle money around. Once they identify a revenue stream like a new tax on cigarettes, instead of using that money as a supplement to what the program was already getting, they sometimes swap it out and use those old general fund dollars somewhere else. Since this one is being sold as an "expansion" you'd hope that's not the case but ... eeesh, gotta watch em.
