You are absolutely right! I just thought of this tonight and googled the idea to see if anyone else had realized this. The Dems are unfortunately to tied to the insurance and drug companies to say such things, but the insurance companies invented Death Panels!

We just DID reform government. Out with the corporate lackeys and in with the young new idealist. But, what? We'd want people like Dick Cheney deciding our healthcare benefits? I don't think so. Cheney was deeeep into corporate pockets. The distraction seems to be some people's cries on the internet, "the sky falling," and the ruse? Claims that nothing will change with healthcare reform is a ruse. What a JOKE! Some folks seem to consider us all stupid, but we really are not. It is the fear that after over sixty years of greater and greater corporate profits things might actually change to benefit the common man that has corporate fat cats so scared. You bet the bill, as written, is going to benefit the common man, and thank God too! It's about time.

God bless America, and our gutsy new president.

Finally, someone has called out the Republicans for spreading evil lies and fearmongering to defend an indefensibly broken healthcare system that denies healthcare to tens of millions of people but generates obscene profits for the HMO's. Every day my opinion of the Republicans drops infinitely lower. When they had a monopoly on power, they ran the country like Ivan Boesky destroying businesses and lives for personal profit. Now that the grown-ups are in charge, the Republicans are screaming that any attempt to clean up their mess is Nazism and genocide. They are so infinitely despicable and beneath contempt, they turn my stomach.

Maybe they are. This does not mean that the reform bills as written are what we want though. Look at the deals that have been cut; follow the money. This is all political distraction to keep us shouting at one another while money exchanges hands (as per usual) so that people stay in office (as per usual) and big business stays fat and happy (as per usual). It's all a ruse so that we don't notice.

My new mantra: Reform Government.
