Payoffs for Senate's Health Care Bill

Politics went into high gear this week when 60 necessary votes for the U.S. Senate's health care bill were secured after granting special concessions and payoffs to certain states. Some senators defended these tactics, saying that "payoffs are nothing unusual"; and that this is "the nature of a democracy" and "part of the normal legislative process." But what exactly were these payoffs, and how does God look at this kind of political maneuvering?

Thank you for clearing up this confusion in light of biblical prophecy. God's Government will be easy to understand and no bribery involved! God's way will not be complicated either!!

It is sickening to observe these political maneuverings. I had to laugh about the "Louisiana Purchase". I wonder if the senators who voted earlier are wishing they had held out to extract a juicy concession of a sweetheart deal.

I can't wait to see what extent the Republicans go to in January to derail the legislation. We can be sure it will be politics at its best!
