I Admit It: I Had Fun Watching Right-wingers Go Wild As Health Reform Finally Became Law.

Anyone Who Thinks That The Last 80 Years, Ever Since Fdr Took Us Off Gold, Have Been A Doomed Venture, That Strikes Me As Kind Of Cranky.

On The Other Side, However, Open Immigration Can’t Coexist With A Strong Social Safety Net; If You’re Going To Assure Health Care And A Decent Income To Everyone, You Can’t Make That Offer Global. So Democrats Have Mixed Feelings About Immigration; In Fact, It’s An Agonizing Issue.
