So we just have to hang in there. Let them have their theater, and hang in there. Reid is making them stay through Christmas -- a just reward for their stalling. Everyone knows what they're doing.

There will be a vote today at 2:45pm EST. Will the public ever know that this is the Rethugs tactic? Take 4 days on each of the many amendments! This bill may get passed in 2012! If I see McGrumpy speaking one more time...... This man has not spent one day of his life without government paid health care! He was wrapped in GI swaddling clothes when he was born!!

How about SMART Government? Large or small- use as needed- Like a prescription Our nations needs wax and wane and one size can not fit all. We have to meet the needs of the time. We need to have SMART Policies, Smart Government that may at times be large! Ooooo Ooooo get over it, if it works, if it is smart, you will like it! If we know that by doing nothing, costs will go thru the roof for everyone, Then we must say - We need to get everyone covered (if using the insurance model) So that will mean subsidies and that will COST the taxpayers big $$$. That is why PUBLIC OPTION is necessary- So we do not have the extra taxes. If we go the route of subsidies alone -no PO- We are paying our tax Dollars to insurance for profit enterprises, ultra high CEO pay etc. . We Must have a Not For Profit, Public Option and a very Strong One!! This is the only way to get the costs down with out going for Single Payer. I would have preferred Single Payer any day of the week, but we have The Public Option. They could have used a better name maybe Open Option or Free Beer or something like that.
