    Of course it's a fool's errand, Senator. This is what happens when you have a political party made up largely of fools.

    Please explain logically why everyone should not have the same health care coverage? I do not see why any one person should have better health care than another. It actually does not make any sense unless you think it should be survival of the richest..........
    Does a wealthy person DESERVE better health care than a poor or average person in terms of financial wealth?

    I would like to pose a few questions. How many congressmen have read the health care law? If they have not read it how can they be for or against it? They have had a few years to do the homework on this

    The most painless solution to all this drama
    Is for the GOP and The President to agree
    To raise the debt ceiling and the looming Budget Battle
    BY -–
    AGREEING TO CONTINUE THE CURRENT 10% SEQUESTER

    For a specific amount of time
    agreed to by both Parties.
    But may also address an end the GOP"s
    Future brinksmanship strategy
    as a tactic for capitulation.

    It gives the GOP their Govt. spending cuts
    And gives Obama a solution, that the Country,
    has seemingly adapted, to without Catastrophe.
    Its also fairer – in that everybody feels the pain.
