Heh Brian Send a noteboard - 22/03/2010 04:21:22 PM
Hopefully actually having had the major bill go through will mean people will be kicked into working together to sort it out properly, rather than trying to kill it without offering a sensible alternative.


Precisely, now that there is a law, they can work to make it better. Even though a lot of dems commited political suicide, it needed to get passed.

Yeah, from the looks of things there are going to be a lot of new faces in the Senate and House after this year's elections.

My hope is that now that something is in place that some people sit down and really try to tackle the whole cost control issue.

My definition of most is obviously quite defective. Brian - 22/03/2010 08:05:22 PM 660 Views
As long as you define "most" as "some time" you're just fine with it as it stands *NM* Floffe - 22/03/2010 08:15:03 PM 310 Views
I'd say "most" people would agree with my definition of "most" in my original post.... Brian - 23/03/2010 05:16:59 AM 727 Views
