President Obama, we already know that health care is strangling us. You don’t need to tell us. Do something about it. Go get righteous on the people who are holding up the process. And stop talking about making it easy for everyone to buy insurance. Insurance is the problem, not the solution. And you know … more…
No more subsidies for fossil fuels: that’s one bit of good news, at least. As is very often the case with Obama, he says a lot of good stuff here. But as we’ve seen with the health care debacle, whether he will follow up on any of it remains to seen. And I’m not holding … more…
Again with the “we’ve stopped the economic freefall”! Why do I keep thinking about Wily E. Coyote, and how there was always that moment after he was tricked into running off a cliff when he just hung there before he fell?
I wish more Americans understood that in every other industrialized nation, no one has to put up with the crap we have to put up with here: preexisting conditions, deductibles, copays, and the bullshit of having to fill out paperwork and worry about whether you’re covered or not when you’re sick or hurt.

Single-payer health care now. That’s it. It’s easy. Put the bullshit health-insurance companies out of business. Put their regular-joe workers in jobs in the administration of the new single-payer system. Put the fat-cat CEOs out to pasture.
All Obama has to say is: “No one goes bankrupt in Canada, England, or France because they get sick. Why do we let that happen here?” Or: “Sure, America has the finest health care in the world… if you can pay for it. Most of us can’t.” Or: “Any member of the Senate or House … more…
I think they thought things were looking better in 1930, too, and, you know, not so much. Hope that’s not the case now, that we’re just seeing the eye of the storm…
