Been watching him lately (as everyone else). Dude really needs toastmasters or something. He seems so nervous when he speaks. That's fine & all...but weird to see it in a politician.“Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”Comment

I wonder if it would not be morally justifiable to assasinate these guys for the greater good.
Sacrifice a few scumbags to save 45 000 American lives each year?
That's fifteen 9-11's each year.
One 9-11 was apparently worth over 4000 soldiers lives plus hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians.
Co-Author Dr. Steffie Woolhandler of a Recent Harvard Study on Annual Deaths of America's Uninsured, says the lack of coverage can be tied to about 45,000 deaths a year in the United States. The only way to affordably cover all Americans is through a Medicare-for-All, Single-Payer System. A Single-Payer System would generate $300-$400 billion in administrative savings annually, enough to cover all of the uninsured, and to plug the gaps in coverage for Americans with only partial coverage. Obviously, Medicare-for-all is anathema to the insurance industry. What politicians are doing is saving insurance industry profits, by sacrificing American lives.
12 Million Americans were denied health care coverage by the Medical Industrial Complex because they had a pre-existing medical condition. 12K Americans are denied insurance coverage everyday by a for-profit Insurance bureaucrat.

Ensign $5.2M, Conrad $5.1M, Cantor $4.9M, Nelson $4.9M, Burr $4.8M, Boehner $4.4M, Hatch $4.4M,
Lincoln $4.1M, Vitter $3.9M, Carper $3.6M were paid by the Medical Industrial Complex to kill Health Care Reform. (Source: OpenSecrets.org, Aug 09')Comment

It begs for the question of what is their justification.MICHAEL G. MULLENTo put it simply, we need to worry a lot less about how to communicate our actions and much more about what our actions communicate.Comment

The level in which big money has shown itself to be in control is amazing to say the least.
To see the new administration go with it...or rather be part of it is scary.Comment

Is it "big money" or is it that there is a significant amount of the population that also disagrees with the direction we are taking?
The lines of thought are interesting.
1. Big, evil, corporations run the show.
2. The people who disagree are somehow not intelligent enough to understand that what the other group of people think is best for them is what is best for them.
Legit disagreement with the ideas Congress is presenting is just not even accepted as a logical reason for the dissent.Comment

there is an argument that says that if baucus knows he can't get a public option through the senate, that nevertheless including it in a bill (that will subsequently be defeated) harkens back to 1993.
perfect health care reform would be awesome. but not necessarily at the expense of waiting another 16 years...Comment
