Congressional Democrats are backing away from healthcare reform promises made by their two presidential candidates, saying that even if their party controls the White House and Congress, sweeping change will be […]

“The American people should not have to work so hard to get leaders who will actually help them…” — Hillary Clinton
Stepping aside from the clash during last night’s debate, I’ve been thinking about the statement above from Hillary Clinton in her closing argument in the debate. American’s are struggling in this ever tumbling economy just to get by. […]

Paul Krugman notes a piece today that was in the Boston Globe in September, about “about Barack Obama’s role, when he was in the Illinois legislature, in the attempt to get the state committed to universal health care.” Krugman says, “It turns out that the story very much prefigures the debates we’re having right now.”
