You really should put a "If you are drinking milk, please stop before reading this line" warning in the subject.
If there had been serious consideration the administration would have shown it when they took office at a time when we were losing 700,000 jobs a month instead of burning all the polictical capital to make greedy bastards at insurance companies much, much richer. Now we are facing near certain catastsrophic failure, and being fed a steady diet of hope and platitutes. Doesn't sound like anyone is serious about doing anything other than kicking the can down the road, and really hoping it doesn't explode when they are the ones kicking it.
thanks for the link...
