In a replay of last year's to-do over the mess in the banking industry,
we are watching our dysfunctional and corrupt government simply, to
quote President Obama, � ���"kick the can down the road," leaving the next
Congress and the next President to deal with the same disaster.
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Americans will continue to die
needlessly every year because the care they need will be denied to them
by insurance companies that are focused on making as much money as
possible, and by a government that has sold its soul to the lobbyists.
