...I read this, from neocon David Brooks:
"...the country is already careening toward fiscal ruin."
David, it's like we never knew ya! (Especially with that gratuitous whine about not being listened to...).
This blog was on board with a phase out of this tax exemption, for employers who provide health benefits, when the Republican'ts were pressing just the opposite, another exemption, but for insurance bought in the individual market ...
Still, I'm partial to the opinion that a long, drawn out, visible struggle over healthcare might actually bring the best ideas to the forefront. Backroom solutions do improve the chances of action, often, but they also have to be revisited, early, for tweaking...
