Bipartisan Congressional Debates

The Second in Series of Bipartisan Congressional Debates to Focus on Health Care will take place April 28 and will be live streamed.

I watched the first of these debates and it is refreshing to enjoy a sustained partisan discussion relatively free of posturing and mere sound bites. It gives a glimpse of how a closed door negotiation might begin. And it gives a glimpse of how such negotiations might progress if the representatives were relatively free of pressure from partisans and special interests.

    It is correct to point the finger of blame at special intersts, IMO - from trade unions to corporations.

    Every effort to get money out of politics seems to be defeated, because those who benefit don't want to give up the advantage of donor financing. The welfare of the nation be damned.
