I'm not going to rejoice in my own financial self-interest when I have a brother who is self-employed and uninsured and turning 50 soon. That's just not right.

But from now on, the odds of getting anything more than trivial legislation on anything are very slim. It may prompt Obama to be more effective in his executive branch actions, and we can rest easy on judicial appointments and foreign policy.

But for immigration, energy, financial reform....don't expect much of anything that we really need.

What did Clinton pass after heathcare tanked? Motor Voter and family leave? And.....?

Nada that I recall. For seven years.

I was willing to pay more to have them covered, but if the people of this country don't want that, they don't want it.

Of all the conclusions to be drawn from this, I don't think that's one of them. Had the proposed legislation been a de minimis effort to address that particular problem it would have had a much easier trip.
