The repeal of the Court...

this Supreme Court is no stranger to doing strange things and healthcare legislation, the lifeboat for so many millions of people will be in the crosshairs of the most philosophically backward Court since the days of the New Deal...they have proved that they will not respect the presumed power of Congress to regulate the things it finds fundamental and necessary if there is a conservative cause that can be promoted...and here it is no less a cause than the convenience of the War Machine---the Holy Grail of the Republican Party.  They could reword the dollar...in War we trust...

Healthcare is a blip on the screen--$120 Billion per year...the Iraq war on the surface was about $12million per hour...about  $1Trillion in six years, and that was just the parts that tended to show in the budget.  War is like an iceberg, the greater part is unseen, but it is the precedent that matters most, the idea that people might shape a priority for government.

During the Bush years, we needed healthcare reform- they offered to limit our right to sue for the unlimited damage medical mistakes, we were supposed to be happy if they reduced our insurance bill by a dollar. When we needed roads and infrastructure, they studied why our bridges were falling down; when we needed action to protect pollution of oceans and loss of whole food stock species- they gave us doubts that human pollution was polluting the seas; when we saw the weather weirding, power of storms swamping cities- they said we had to wait to be sure before we would make anyone change the way they do business, in fact wanted to relax air quality standards, mileage for cars ( can you believe they actually made bigger and bigger cars---and we bought them!!!)

So the war machine is starting to get antsy, they have many billions to spend, and the Supremes say baby we'd love to see you spend it to do to public opinion what has been done to the food supply here-- overwhelm the consumer until they think a grease burger and oily potatoes is God's gift -- and they once again choose war: expensive, pricey, high- tech conflicts that show how strong we are, invasions for our liberty...now admit it don't you feel more free now that there is a trillion dollars worth of democracy in Iraq...well you don't quite get what you used to...for a Trillion$ do you?
