34. I've been saying for weeks
that I don't see how anything can be accomplished toward health insurance reform until we get comprehensive campaign finance reform.

And that isn't going to happen. There is already too much influence, and the corporations aren't going to let go of it. The only hope is for very, very wealthy Democrats (such as Warren Buffett and Bill Gates) to recognize that this country is going to go down the tube unless something is done to help the vast majority of this country (the little guys) get an even break. We are headed toward slave wages and total collapse, and it isn't that far off. If the companies which are so greedy wring every drop of blood out of the working man to the point where he can't afford to buy the products they're selling, the whole country is doomed. And those who think they're so smart, grabbing all the taxpayer dough they can get, are NOT smart enough to realize that there is an end to how long this can be sustained.
