everywhere these days.) The purpose of
this blog is not to take
sides
politically, so I won’t be
pushing a platform.
I do want to urge

Stanley Feld M.D.,FACP,MACE I believe
in the power of the free market if the

better politicians than Republicans.
Democrats seem to be first in front of a

can without flinching be Teflon
deflecting an issue to Republicans,
greedy Wall Street types, Big Oil, or to
Mother Theresa. ...

terrible Wall Street bailout, we have
two options: enact a good bill or do
nothing. Either of these options would
be better than trying to pass the bill
that was rejected by Republicans and

try to do something be...
