What's the next big thing after health care reform?

1. Social Security n/t

[valerief]

2. Health care reform. It's not going to get fixed this go-round.

[izquierdista]

3. Infrastructure

Building back the decaying infrastructure will help to recreate the economy we shipped off to China. Especially if it is done with buy American clauses, leaving poisonous Chinese building materials on the dock in Shanghai. If we quit tearing down Iraq and Afghanistan, maybe we could build up America and make it a nice place to live.

4. Jobs, unless you want a rethug congress in 11-2010

8. This. n/t

5. "Big" from who's point of view?

I'm sure the RW is chomping at the bit to seal the borders and round up all the brown people. .

6. Out of the list I say regulating the banks

Climate Change legislation has already been crafted and worked on in Congress. You just don't know that because the MSM isn't talking about it. Infrastructure is major though and can go along with Jobs. We need a MAJOR infrastructure overhaul in this country unlike anything we've ever done.

17. Climate Change is done in only one House of Congress

It needs to pass 5 committees and the entire Senate. The media has covered that and it unlike most of the others has an external time line. It would be far better to have at least passed it through both Houses by Copenhagen.

7. Reforming health care reform

[NoPasaran]

9. Constitutional Amendment establishing right to free chips & salsa in Tex-Mex restaurants

[FrenchieCat]

10. Financial Regulations.

[sandnsea]

11. Controversial and Difficult? DADT

The rest of that will pass in one form or another, including climate change. The one that will require activists is DADT. I don't expect DOMA until after DADT and maybe not until the Supreme Court case.

12. MSM reform.

[Scarsdale Vibe]

13. If health care reform doesn't pass, then nothing will get done on anything else.

Clinton spent the years after HCR died on school uniforms and midnight basketball. It won't be any different this time. If the public option kills health care reform, maybe we can get back around to the Democratic agenda in 2017, when some unknown Democrat beats President Huckabee.

14. War Crimes Trials

[Better Believe It]

15. Cutting social security and other "entitlement" benefits "reform"?

[Hippo_Tron]

16. DOMA/DADT isn't time consuming as the others (even though they are very important)

But there's no sausage making process (or at least a very narrow) for DADT. Either you're for equal rights or you aren't or you're on the fence and can be persuaded. No way to really endlessly amend the bill like they are doing with health care right now.

[Rudy Adams]

18. Recovering from the Debate!

Oy!

[Whisp]

19. bank regulation.

if thats not done nothing else matters.

I just learned not too long ago about how Canada faired in this and the system here seemed to hold up quite well, nothing near the travesty and knuckle chewing down south........ why?

government regulation.

[vaberella]

20. I was thinking DADT/DOMA. n/t
