What I STILL don't understand is with MAJORITY in congress and the presidency why pass such a shitty law? Why not do what I still want which is a one payer system? Sure could have patted a few dems that were against it on the back and promised to pass some of their pet bills or fund some projects to get them on board..

Imagine the Govt. running healthcare for 300 million Americans.
If you can't see a nightmare in the making then your an idiot. And a blind one to boot.
Single payer my ass.

aging highways, bridges and ports. Saying that 1 in 9 bridges are structurally deficient and more than 40 percent of major highways are congested, Obama repeated his call for major infrastructure investment, but it's unclear how or if that will happen.
Did you know that 1 trillion dollars didn't go to shovel ready jobs, that weren't really shovel ready?
