I'm not saying you're right or wrong; but interesting indeed!<br /><br />Thanks, JBW. This is exactly the kind of info I was wanting. It just so happens that we were on a plane with TV's tonight. I spent most of the flight readig the tickers between Fox News, CNN and CNBC. CNBC listed many of the same attributes that you did. <br /><br />I think it sounds like a pretty reasonable step. I know a lot of my southern brethren will be/are pissed about any part of their paycheck possibly subsidizing healthcare for the unemployed, but to them I show the bird. I plan to read as much of the bill as I can in the coming days, but I think it sounds like a great start.<br /><br />The quicker they can close the donut-hole, the better. My mom kind of loop-holed herself through it this year, but I know she won't always be so lucky. Here's hoping this system works and that my mom can see that it <b>does</b> benefit her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-84355460743691146402010-03-21T00:57:20.041-07:002010-03-21T00:57:20.041-07:00Baby steps, Oso. The system can't be changed ...Baby steps, Oso. The system can't be changed all at once but this is a good start. Subsequent legislation can improve on what we will hopefully soon have. I council pragmatic realism on that point. Moving too far to the left won't get us anywhere right now. I like Dennis Kucinich but I'm not counting on him to make any real progress in Washington.<br /><br />Only a conservative moderate like Obama can do that in our present political climate. Patience my friend, the changes are coming.JBWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293642610215334516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428824763182540039.post-41100370484906608842010-03-21T00:52:10.014-07:002010-03-21T00:52:10.014-07:00No worries, Leslie.
