Good Morning: You Got Health Care Reform

Happy? Anyone? Seriously, if you are, speak up;

Sen. Ben Nelson (Neb.), the final Democratic holdout on health care, was prepared to announce to his caucus Saturday morning that he would support the Senate reform bill, clearing the way for final passage by Christmas. "We're there," said Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), as he headed into a special meeting to announce the deal. Democratic leaders spent days trying to hammer out a deal with Nelson, and worked late Friday night with Nelson on abortion coverage language that had proved the major stumbling block. But Nelson also secured other favors for his home state. Asked if he was prepared to support the bill, Nelson said, "Yeah." With Nelson seemingly on board, Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid unveiled the final version of a sweeping overhaul of the nation's health insurance system that would expand coverage to an additional 31 million Americans, coming closer to attaining the Democrats' longsought goal of universal medical coverage.

Folks. Take a long look at what's going on in our government. Not just this move, but all the moves, in total. You are living in the most corrupt and treasonous time in this nation's history. Our future has never been so bleak. And frankly, I don't see any hope of a comeback. Oh sure, I continue to fight. Because I know nothing else. But for the moment, I'm profoundly angry. I'm profoundly disappointed.

As with the the pygmies who built their bridge over the crocodiles, we have ensured ourselves and our welfare. For now. But take a trip to Africa and tell me if that crocodile bridge is still there. It isn't. It's gone. And so are the pygmies. I'm just sayin'.
