ugh

The cruel cynics are going to win again. Obama's health care push failed to come to a vote by the end of the legislative session, and this has already been called his Waterloo. The voices of opposition have been too successful in railing against a public option as a move towards socialization, saying that private insurers couldn't compete. But these are the EXACT SAME PEOPLE always bitching about the massive bloat and striking inefficiency of the government, so why do they think that in the arena of health care the government would suddenly change itself up and run a great business? Why, after decades of inefficiency would the government suddenly be able to outperform health insurers that are almost a century old? Why has no one pointed this out (that I can find)? The blue dog coalition has been the biggest hurdle I think, but at least they're concerns are legitimate as far as I can tell. The staunch "ANTI!" Republicans just want to derail anything Obama proposes because it will make him look week.

Politics sickens and disheartens me more every day. Nothing gets done because our whole political system is exposed to the tyranny of the minority, and both parties abuse that power to no end.

I'm gonna go walk my dog now.
