They say follow the money. If you follow the money and find it, you inevitably discover the real reason that things are unfolding the way they are. On the surface things might not make sense, but the money trail nearly always brings the underlying reasons to light. The same is true with health care reform.
Why, in the face of clear and present opposition to a massive cost increases, in the face of a persistent recession, high unemployment and unsustainable debt, for little if any political or national gain, would the Democrats have soldiered on with this legislation? Was it political self-delusion? Perhaps somewhat, but that old adage, follow the money has never been more appropriate.
