Democrats and Control

Yes we can! or business as usual? When Franken finally is seated in the Senate, the Democrats will have free roam to change all they want. Without a single Republican vote necessary.

i wish i could believe in the Democrats to do the right thing for us and for our children, but i can't. In six months or so, i'll run through this again, but right now is the golden opportunity to pass a healthcare system that works. Not health insurance that costs everyone more and only lines corporate coffers. In my opinion, single payer healthcare is the only solution to the 20,000+ people who die every year because of no health insurance and a healthcare system clearly on a greedy suicide track.

What'll it be, Democrats? A lasting legacy of change and progress, or more of the same? Single payer needs to be put back on the table and seriously looked at.

But if "fixing" the economy by buying up toxic assets instead of dissolving failed banks is any indication, the change will come with a temporary health insurance fix that doesn't do much besides increase taxes.

We shall see (if we can).
