Arizona Eclectic:

[In spite] of all the hype about Obama being open to the ideas of those who do not agree with him, in actuality Obama's solution to problems come from a very narrow set of solutions proposed by those in power; those who benefit, usually monetarily, from those very decisions. Those with alternate solutions, solution[s] that may look beyond immediate gain of the Banksters and Robber Baron Corporatists are either shut our completely or allowed to voice their concerns after the decisions have been solidified.

"Solidified"

By lambert on Sun, 06/07/2009 - 8:09am

That's what Baucus is telling us. Why NOW NOW NOW on "health" "care" "reform"?

1. The FKDP and Obama want it out of the way for the midterms (and no doubt they will get a lot of funding for those midterms from Big Health and Big Pharma), and

2. If we wait, there will be time for a better solution to emerge.

Obama's moving fast because he doesn't want to be made to do it.

First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win. -- Mahatma Gandhi

Bingo! Moving fast,

the "centrists" hope to keep ahead of the wave of realization building up in the people, and present us with a do-nothing fait accompli.

We are running out of time.

We will push and push and push until some larger force makes us stop.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
