CLIMATE CHANGE should be the number 1 priority next year. It got pre-empted by healthcare this year. We couldn't afford to put it off 2 years ago - no more waiting.

The priority of his tasks bears little difference when everything was turned into shit by Bush and the Republicans has to be made whole again. Meanwhile the Republicans in Congress and their misguided supporters look for things like school speeches and foreign etiquette to complain about. How dare that man tell school-kids to work hard and stay in school.

Even more, I think that single-payer is the way to fix things. This half-ass measure congress is using is just that. agree with this as well.

From our local school districts, to our state employees, to our federal employees, health care is bankrupting our country, so HCR is a huge part of deficit fixing.

These moves are unlikely to take effect immediately. The recovery should be even more greatly underway before these policies have the potential for any negative repercussions. I view this issue as so much pearl-clutching. Agree. These moves are unlikely to take effect immediately.
