Sell Out on Health Reform

I do realize that health care needs to be improved. But why did they bribe states. Democratic moderate Senators wisely held out their votes until their states got money that other states won't get. So let me just point out the issue here. If you are from a Red State with Republican Senators your state got screwed. If you are from a Blue State with Democratic Senators you probably got something. If you are a Red State with a Democratic Senator you got a windfall. Nebraska will have the federal government pay for some of their bills and this wasn't given anyone else. It was the purchase of a vote to pass a bill. Time will tell how good the bill is, but here is the kicker. Many insurance company stocks are going up. Why? They should be losing and analysts should know it. I think the wool is being pulled over our eyes. We are in for a big downfall. The next 50 years of politics will largely be based on two things.

Republicans will be for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, although the longer they go on with Democratic control the less they will be viewed as a Republican issue. Also for some reason the bailouts which were passed largely by Democrats in Congress. Another thing that could come back on Democrats.

Democrats will be judged on how health care reform improves lives and holds down costs. Ironically with everything happening the Democrats could be viewed as the bad guys in all these things and that would politically harm the party. Wow things could get very interesting politically in the next 10 years. Maybe another political party takes over? That would force compromise. American people deserve this from these two parties which haven't shown compromise in 20 years.
