We definitely need change on health care. My concern is that giving people health care and giving them insurance are not the same thing. Edwards' plan was the best I saw during the primaries because of its two-track system, which made for a good strategy towards achieving universal heath care. But let's see how things play out. As Robert Reich said, Obama's budget is actually progressive. Doesn't that make for a nice change? If nothing else, given how the Beltway waters down everything, it's smart to start with a strong position.
The date of the above graph is 2/6/09, so we are now below the bottom line on the graph with still months to go before the stimulus package will offer, by it's authors and proponents own admission, any possibility of that green line leveling off.

Good rant Buck. I believe that you speak for more than just yourself.
New Mexico is nice. The sunshiny days are so hard to take.
