Hahaha. Very astute observation.
I remember someone once pointing out that the job of the Legislative Branch is to make laws, but that they’ve been doing just that for some 234 years – just how many laws do they think we need?
Not that I don’t want a fix to the health insurance nightmare, and I’m guessing my solutions might be different from yours. But I think we can agree that it might be best if the fix isn’t as complicated as the problem it’s meant to fix.
It’s not the fix that is complicated – well, it may be, I don’t know, not being American.
What I DO know is that politicians and lawmakers the world over like to bury the issue.
If they can do it with words, and leave everyone who needs to vote on a decision yawning by Page 2, then get a good orator to stand up and say what the most powerful lobbyists want, then they will.
It’s the most effective way of keeping the powers behind the throne happy.
yes. yes, i truly do.
