When I read this phrase from analysts and financial commentators, I have to keep reminding people that blaring reality that we all know; that the country is already obscenely “broke” and just maintaining the illusion that it’s solvent with financial leger de main while utilizing it’s one remaining slight of hand trick…”the bigger fool theory”.

We don't have enough employees to have any bargaining power so basically we just get the shaft from the private insurance companies. I welcome anything that Obama does for health care. I do not see how a worse system can be devised. Also I just watched a nature show where the lion gets injured with no health care. Of course the mighty lion died for lack of a doctor and modern medicine. I don't think I like the idea of living in a jungle. I don't know why the government is bailing out those that ran the banks into the ground or paid too much for their house, but I have no problem with hospitals caring for those that get sick even if the stricken are financial morons.

But this is a must read excellent article to forward to everyone you know. It boggles my mind (or is one of the things that boggle my mind)that most, if not all folk's I know strongly believe that the government is engaged in madness... yet it continues. How long before the payers organize with torches and pitchforks, or worse? TBT is a bond short.
