  • the useless senate.. get rid of them all.

  • Wrong. The public option DOES have the votes. All you need is a simple majority. The reason Obama and Reid wanted 60 votes is because they lack the political BALLS to push through legislation with a sledgehammer.

  • Another souce of discontent is the fact, State and local governments, Mass transit systems are dealing with deficits as a result of poor economy. With unused stimulus funds, use 60 percent to cover those deficits for next 2 years. Transit riders are tired of more fare hikes, threats of service decreases. That is a big source of inflation. Remaining 40 percent for road and bridge projects, mass transit expansion projects such as 2nd avenue Subway, Lirr east side access. More subway lines built

  • The way for the economy to get better, more jobs, the country has to get the gross demestic product up. I have a solution. Beginning 2010 borrow 980 billion from China selling bonds. March of 2010 we water down free trade agreement with China, other Asian countrys, India. Products that retail for 30 dollars or less we leave alone. Products that retail for over 30 dollars we put high tariffs on them to get them, made here again. Gain of hundreds of thosands in jobs. With that Demacrats will win.

  • VOTE EM ALL OUT IN 2010.

  • The GOP gaining control of the House will come down to how well the economy is doing...Not health care.

    The fact remains Obama can't change America overnight. It is your fault for thinking he can & not understanding the American Legislative process. You need votes to pass bills & Obama can't genearate votes out of thin air! The bill we get is the only bill that will pass, if it does! To think Obama could have gotten anything else through congress is simply absurd! THINK!

  • I'm afraid next year it will be even more difficult. We have mid-term elections in 2010! Republicans are most likely going to pick up some extra seats- and you already know their plan for everything: "NO!"

  • The Senators that did not want it our corrupt. Health care should not just be for the rich who can afford private health care. Next year, or the year after they need to pass the public option, and inportation of cheap drugs from Canada.

  • Expansion of government, - 60 corrupt senators want it, the US citizens don't.

  • Sounds like the kid that is ashamed he likes school so he says his parents force him. Then you ask the parents they say Johnny does it without command.

  • WTF? Who yanked you chain, buddy? You taking this personally for some reason?
