Rep. Shelley Berkley, D-Nev., who voted for the health care takeover in the House in November, thinks she might change to a no vote this time around. Why? Because she doesn’t trust the Senate, meaning Majority Leader Harry Reid and, by extension, President Obama, to incorporate the House fixes into the so-called “reconciliation” version:
“I am not inclined to support the Senate version,” Berkley said. “I would like something more concrete than a promise. The Senate cannot promise its way out of a brown paper bag.”
The American people clearly have lost trust in Congress, judging from the continually declining polls, but now it seems that even members of that once-august body don’t trust it.
