It would be funny to see Mr.Phips make a thread in 1853 about Whigs needing to stop tease us with abolition because it will either never happen or be struck own by SCOTUS (which made slavery a right 3 years later..and now SCOTUS is threatening us with handing down the right not to have Health Care Access).

...well Abolition was a vehicle for things like central monetary policy and internal improvements...can't a war over Abortion or Gays be a vehicle for things like Universal Healthcare or a new National Rail System?

In fact, wouldn't deregulation give us the same problems we have already had with consumer spending a real estate? Wouldn't we just rob Peter to pay paul until we are back where we started, but with a another mountain of consumer liability that weighs further upon our economy?  Without Obamacare, or Obama and the Democrats for that matter, we are pretty much doomed to fall down a spiral of speculative booms quickly followed by even stepper busts until we just plum run out of money.

Well, this or a Public Option system will be the only thing we can really do until the health insurance plan we have in place totally collapses. There's too many people who know where their paychecks comes from. If the stopped getting their paychecks from the insurance companies....that will be our next shot at reform.
