Packing the boards to reduce Social Security is a bad thing.

I celebrate and support when the administration does something good. When they side with the neocons to privatize schools and social security, they need to be called on it. THe HCR is barely a wash. Nothing is in there that republicans wouldn't support if the same bill came from bush or reagan. It is hyperventilated puffery to call this bill standing up to corporate america. It is a huge windfall of tax-guaranteed profits for the health care corporations and a guarantee of no competition pricing for the pharmaceutical corporations.

This was not standing up to the corporate interests but bowing to them. All the puffed up chests and outlandish cries of "landmark" won't change the facts.
