whitesoxfan101 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) I'm not going to sit here and pretend I have any idea what the events of this evening mean. I honestly don't even know if the experts fully know what will happen in the future as a result of tonight if they are being honest. I will just say I hope this thing works, because we really can't afford for it not to. Edited March 22, 2010 by whitesoxfan101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to see that the wishes of the plurality of the American people are ignored in favor of a slavish partisan desire to inact change. This is not a pure democracy, and based on the seasonality of polls, I am not sure I want my elected officials bouncing around on issues based on what polls say. Also, although many people polled said they were against this specific bill, the number of reasons for opposition were broad. In fact, from a general standpoint, many polls regarding healthcare overall show the population favors reform. The problem for many was that this bill either did too much or did not go far enough. The fact is, not many people like to compromise. Most prefer to get their way, so it makes sense that many on both sides are unhappy with the final bill. To me that is good indication that this bill is exactly what is needed as it shows both sides had to compromise to make it happen. My father used to say that the worst compromise is still preferable to the best judgement. As much as I fear that the politicians' interests are driven by their donors and lobbyists rather than their constituents, I think many of the congressional leaders understood that there had to be compromises to make any type of progress.
