Baucus buys and sells the American people as if they were his personal property to make deals with Wall Street.

The USA is supposed to be an example of democracy, not demagoguery.

Aflurry of new reports from the Treasury Department, the U. S. Census Bureau, Robert Wood Johnson and the Kaiser Family Foundations underscore something we’ve known in New York for a long time — we can’t wait another year for health insurance reform.
According to recent national data from the U. S. Census, the number of uninsured increased from 39.8 million in 2001 to 46.3 million in 2008. Most of these individuals are in the middle class. In New York, there are now 2.7 million people living without insurance, one accident or illness away from financial disaster.

The venues least focused on by the previous administration are actually where growth needs to take place and is the place where change is taking place. This is very good news that will definitively be the trend of the NEW American economy.
