Haven't we been through this kind of thing before?
The sky is falling. The end is near. Media pundits declare. Why should we trust anything they say,especially considering they want Obama to fail? Media is all about drama.
The conservative justices have expressed sympathy for parts of the government's argument. Justices play devil's advocate all the time. This is ONLY ONE day of arguments.
Besides, there have been some bloggers who have said several times, "The economy is doomed forever" and yet here we are, having had several months of strong job growth. People said the nation will default and yet it did not happen. People said the world was coming to end right after atomic bombs in hiroshima and nagasaki. The world rebounded.
People said the world was coming to an end at the stroke of midnight on January 1st 2000. That did not happen.
Enough with the mass hysteria!! Take a chill pill!!! Realize that we have made it through hard times and emerged in better positions than ever before.
Enough with the old health care wars and how things could have and should have been. President Obama never ran on single payer in the campaign anyway. I do not understand why people are saying he should have pushed for single payer. He was NEVER going to. Lieberman was always a complication no matter what people say, just like the insurance-bought democrats in the california state senate were NEVER going to vote for single payer.
