Another Gang of 6 is Hard at Work - Let's Get Organized

Remember the ludicrous summer of 2009, with the Gang of Six a**holes supposedly defining OUR healthplan? While Baggers of Koch were staging their hi-hystrionic displays at Town Halls AGAINST healthcare in general? The ginned-up video-ops made it easy to force Americans to settle for a crappy plan that kept Pharma and Insurance in control.

Now, a new 2011 Gang of Six is working, working, working to dump THEIR solution of the Deficit onto the American People. If the trial ballon floated here on Yahoo is indicative, we must mobilize now. Sixers will try to position their Adults forcing Kids to take medicine for our own good. This medicine is expensive and privatized. It doesn't include cutting Oil Subsidies. It doesn't cap Pharma prices, it doesn't add a Public Option to the health plan. Nothing about offshore profits or taxes on Wall Street. It doesn't cut our military budget or roll back bases. No stimulus, no revenue boosting aspects.

Do you think the Dems will put up a fight for a populist solution? This time?
Will Harry and Nancy use the 2011 Town Hall grassroots anger to hardball a better solution than the one hinted in this article?
Do you think the MSM would even COVER such a fight?

Yeah, sure.
