I think we have made some progress -- limited, far from perfect -- on making health insurance available to more people and eliminated the pre-existing condition block; started to have some regulation of the crazy, incestuous Wall Street nonsense where the rating companies are paid by the investment firms to 'affirm' the alleged value of the investments and then tell investors that the rating agencies gave them an A-plus; and finally blowing apart the Mineral & Minings Service division of the Interior Department that has been -- literally and figuratively -- in bed with the coal and oil industry. MMS was set up to monitor and safeguard oil and coal exploration. It has been a flop...under several administrations...including this one.
I have no preference for any of the various cable channel pundits or either political party or any columnist. I care only for the nation and reasonable discussion of possibilities.
And I hope that we can all distinguish between real ideas and self-serving BS that seeks only to divide the nation and sell books.
I seek solutions, not predictable talking point, canned nonsense.
Please join me in a dialogue...one that is for the nation's good with no commercial gain for anyone.
What say you?
