"It’s now broadly apparent that those who opposed Social Security in 1935 and Medicare in 1965 were wrong in their fears and tried to obstruct a historical tide. This year, the fate of health care will come down to a handful of members of Congress, including Senators Joe Lieberman, Blanche Lincoln, Ben Nelson and Mary Landrieu. If they flinch and health reform fails, they’ll be letting down their country at a crucial juncture. They’ll be on the wrong side of history"

My suspicion is that those who are foolish enough to believe we can continue to spend what we don't have, and that we can be a great nation, that doesn't produce anything will be on the wrong side of history. We are probably at the beginning of the end of empire.
