I love how you already fault anyone who supports this bill before it even has a chance to fail. But your right, ‘whatever’ is the sensible thing here. The bill was passed, its going through. And frankly the best thing you can hope for now is that it works. I mean you do at least want it to succeed now that its passed don’t you? ---

Yea, I do, but that doesn’t mean I am going to be happy that it passed right now. Its like your daughter comming home knocked up, you hope for the best, there is no way to change it, but know its a train wreck deep inside. ---

I’d say it’s like your daughter coming home with a degree in economics: She’s spent a ton of money on something that may amount to nothing or may turn out to put her life on track for tons of future success, all depending on what she does with it. ---

I’d say it’s more like your daughter gets knocked up by her economics teacher who has never worked in the real world and the school has finally fired him because of his many illegitmate children with other students, oh and he has the hiv and he beats women when drunk. But boy can he put on a good lecture. ---

Some of you seem to have trouble separating morality from economic policy. I’m pretty sure they are mutually exclusive. ---
