Interesting summations

[valarltd]

I don't always agree with these folks, but here's what I'm seeing around my f'list.

elfs "...the bill as passed is so far to the right it would be unthinkable in any other nation on the Earth that also possess a working electrical grid and covered sewers"

kadath "Shit sandwiches for all!*

*Shit sandwich offer not available in sane industrialized democracies."

And of course, the few righties over at facebook
"Welcome to the United Socialist States of America!"

Personally, I'm much more of the "Better than nothing" school of thought.

I'm not sure how relevant this bill will be to my family, since it's looking like many of the provisions will no longer be useful to us by the time they take effect. But the current situation is so untenable that something had to be done. And I think building meaningful progress will be much easier to do if it's packaged as fixing the flaws in this bill than if people try to ram it through wholesale _after_ two failed attempts to pass even a watered-down version.
