who's blaming the rich? i wouldn't know who to blame, if anyone. but a couple of points come to mind:
-Iraq is and will continue to require massive transfers of tax dollars to the DoD and the companies who are contracted to help maintain the occpation. winding down the occupation of iraq will help staunch the bleeding.
- i am willing, at this point, to consider any alternative to the status quo -even a single payer health care system (read government-controlled health care - cue the wingnut screams of "socialism!") because my paycheck simply cannot continue to sustain the kind of health care cost increases i have seen over the past 3 years. the GOP health care policy has been "don't just do something - stand there", but the Dems know they just got elected to be more proactive than that. let's see if they can come up with something.
