DEBATE? N-O-T

Today the House reconvenes and all the media report that the agenda is a "debate" on the health reform bill.

Well that is the most debatable label one could think of. And the House majority are acting in a purely political cynical manner, wasting Congressional time (and taxpayer money for their salaries) by using time exercising spin of a matter that they all know has not a smidgen of a chance to accomplish what they purport to be doing, the Senate won't act on it and for sure, the President would veto any repeal so here we are drowning in the same old tactics. Attack - attack - attack just for the political crop of votes in the next election, nothing else and I resent this.


Why couldn't they be instead, adding a feature requiring an evaluation of mental and emotional stability for college or higher education admissions. This is warranted given the time development history of major brain diseases becoming progressively worse when untreated in that age cohort. Maybe this would prevent further Tucson horrors. And in the past it has been a requirement for children entering grade school to have certain vaccinations etc., and even in some cases, a physical.

But instead we are mired in the spin ---- political campaigning in the House Chamber and calling it the people's business.

ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!
