WHAT 'S GOING ON??

Since May, both houses of Congress have wrapped themselves around one bit of legislation, namely, Healthcare Overhaul. Specifically, it appears that the Federal Government is attempting to gain control of all health care business in the country no matter what the impact or desires of the citizens may be.

Most of these efforts by Congress have been an exercise in futility even though one party controls all of Congress. Fortunately for US Citizens, there are still some Democratic politicians who understand that their primary responsibility is to vote for the best interests of their home constituency and not just stamp approval when told to do so.

What I do not understand is what else is happening to occupy the time of these various 535 (approximately) politicians over the last 6 months? Where are their energies being directed? what else is coming along that may be just as disastrous for the citizens? Hopefully, I am wrong and they really have been wasting all this time due to inefficiency. The point also to be considered is that apparently, the real Health Bill or various Health Bills have yet to be written.
