Many of us are disgusted with politics as usual in Washington. What else is new?
I am reeling at the scandal involving Alan Hevesy in NY. He was one of the good guys. Sigh.
Health Care reform is long over due. The Republicans did not have to have it rammed down their throats. As usual, partisan politics prevented our leaders from doing what is best for their constituents. Once again, they worried more about being elected than about legislation that would benefit all. The health bill is not ideal. It is the best that could have come out of the bickering at my/our expense.
Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats have anything to be proud of.
This same "get re-elected" priority got us into Iraq. It will get us out at a horrible cost.
My personal suggestion for ending it is term limits. The Senate was not meant to be a life time guarantee of employment/power. Nor was the house.
