Yeah there's good reason to pop the champagne corks over the decision by the Supreme Court today. There is no doubt in my mind that it's a plus for the Presidents reelection. But I never had a doubt of his reelection.
Here's the problem. Unless we get significant majorities in both houses in this years elections we can't fix the fuck ups in the bill. Namely, penalties for not buying the mandated insurance are nil and states don't have to offer the expanded subsidies for medicaid to help pay for the mandated insurance.
Sure I sounded like a sourpuss today because by all means this was a short term political win for our President.
What really freaks me out is that this bill is SO bad that come 2014 there will be nothing but hate for Democrats. You already heard the shit today with the GOP claiming we're issuing another tax. That's not far from the truth considering that was a main argument by the administration to the Supreme Court.
You better work your fucking ass off to insure that we have significant majorities in both houses this year to fix this bullshit or we are fucked for generations.
