		<description><![CDATA[As politicians go round and round talking about how health reform legislation will increase or decrease the deficit, or how a win on this bill will help or hurt Democrats, I think it&#8217;s worth mentioning again that there&#8217;s one really huge number that matters: 62.
Sixty-two is the the percentage of U.S. personal bankruptcies in which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a lot of debate today over what President Obama was saying to his supporters last night when he described what he thinks needs to happen with the health reform legislation from here on in.
The point he made that seems to be drawing the most speculation is this passage:

		<description><![CDATA[We don&#8217;t like the phrase, &#8220;It&#8217;s now or never,&#8221; especially when it comes to the health reform battle. If legislation doesn&#8217;t succeed now, it doesn&#8217;t mean the nation&#8217;s health care system can never be improved.
Even with a complete failure by the Democrats, the system could conceivably gradually evolve into something better over time with incremental [...]]]></description>

But here&#8217;s the thing: If the Democrats had barely eked out a win, opponents would have said the [...]]]></description>

I personally have heard it dozens of times from friends and family,  who make it painfully clear that they&#8217;re not banging on the door of Corporate America because they&#8217;re dying to work in a cubicle. They tell me they&#8217;re reluctantly looking for gigs in big business because that&#8217;s where [...]]]></description>

Jonathan Cohn of the New Republic said today what a lot of liberals have been saying about the Senate bill. Basically, it&#8217;s been stretched and pulled like a gob of saltwater taffy as it morphed into something barely acceptable to barely enough Democrats, but also largely disappointing to a large contingent of other liberals (and [...]]]></description>

Anyone who thought passage of a health reform bill in 2009 would be easy, given the Democratic majority in Congress, was deluded. To think that all of Congressional Democrats – and the Independents they court – would vote in lock step was just plain fantasy.
But even Democrats who knew reform legislation would be all about [...]]]></description>
