They are going to change the entire direction, if not status, of the most powerful country in the world. Even if it's a given that the nation's health-care and energy policies need reform of some kind, to put together thousands of pages and present them for votes in such a short time is unconscionable. Added to this, is the deplorable truth that hardly any of the elected officials actually read the bills anyway. And if they did, they'd be sure to add their own pork amendments. The reality is the Health Care and Cap-and Trade bills have more to do with politics than careful thought and planning. God help a country where the politicians cannot come together in a bi-partisan manner to produce quality, well-thought out, effective legislation that will benefit the nation, and not line the pockets of self-serving, power-hungry dodds, er dopes that, shamefully, we have elected time and again.

After reading the article by Mr. McGough and hearing your thoughts on the radio I just had to respond. I am a democrat but a fiscal conservative one but first and foremost I consider myself to be a true American . Why does the congress of the US think it can better control health care and its associated costs when it cannot control the federal deficit and budget spending. I have emailed Sen. Dodd concerning this issue and have yet to receive a satisfactory answer. (He needs to be voted out next election as do many in the senate and congress0. I will continue to email our elected officials to urge them to do what is right for AMERICA and not their war chests.I enjoy your talk show when I can listen to it... Jim.
