though there are perhaps 50 million who can't, which seems a more dire need. I can't help thinking that if more of those dollars went into health care, (say people doing research to lower the costs that are going to deny care soon), instead of the wad which goes to, mostly, a very few for-profit "greedy pockets" in corporations, we would all be better off.

But that's just me. I have always thought that working toward opportunity and a plan to provide it for (today 25 million, and growing) who need jobs or more work just to live would be a better strategy and result in a stronger country than chortling about past work or failures or funneling _profit_ to corporations. This health insurance bill does that by the bucketful. Big dollars, big profits, immoral salaries on taxpayer dollars. And a few good things.

I get your point, though. For those whose perspective allows them to be satisfied with the above, I say Good Cheer! Happy to be in the room! Kick the can, woohoo, what a party, and all that.

I'm going to the bar...
