So looks like Health Care Reform is going to get passed pretty quickly.

I think it's for real this time....House and Senate Democrats say they have the votes.

I am worried there is some magical thinking going on about this passing the House. Especially given Arcuri's announcement this morning... they are trying to get a House majority they may not have by running that bandwagon through the caucus. I hope it works, but I can't count on it.

I know you shouldn't trust politicians....but various people are saying the votes are there. I tend to think it really is possible.

You're overestimating, my friend.  Remember when the "hard deadline" was last August?

Yeah I know....and maybe I'm hopelessly naive.....but I really can't imagine Democrats being quite that stupid to run against the wall again if they can't back it up.
