Dude, how many pens do you need?

“President Barack Obama signed into law a popular health insurance program for low-income children Wednesday, saying it was the first step to healthcare reform.” – Times of the Internet

This extension of the existing program will cost an additional thirty-five billion dollars. How will Amercian’s be paying for this extra cost? Well, in a move that amuses me and pisses off the nicotine-addicted, the smokers will bear the burden.

With this bill, there will be a sixty-two cent federal tax increase on cigarettes.

Hey, now if people give you crap for smoking, you can say you’re doing it for the children.
