Not enough Greeks in Congress by any means! We do have figure heads that rely on what others tell them, from what other have told them and so the daisy chain goes. As in any industry, there is nothing that replaces "hands on" experience, so until such time we have she told me, that he told me, and they told me, and now that I have heard all of this, I am confused. We need analysts to try and figure this out too, as to who is going to believe who.
Yes is a unique group of individuals, rare, but that can wear 2 hats, in other words have communication skills and also be able to knock out a little code as needed. If we haven't figured this out yet, it's all in the code, those who have all the information and know how to query and work with it, well they have the power. Now that there's more information available, well guess what, those folks gain a bit more power as they can handle overload and get down the the bottom of things with statistics, so why not have some of these folks in positions of authority to begin with.
We also have gray areas too where the ones outside of the code think that science should be able to offer better projections on what is happening around these, just look at Wall Street trying to figure this one out, not going to happen as it is not a perfect science and thus one day we rush in this direction, tomorrow over to the other side. We have an R and D feeding frenzy going on and a very confused society.
Dollars can be analyzed in data bases, but R and D doesn't work that way, thus we see what we have today, everyone at the craps table rolling the dice to a degree and hoping for the best, but the scary part is all of those sitting on the pass line who never get the chance to step up to roll. So those that just know dollars continue to cut budgets as that is all they know how to do and have no clue how the data shuffles out once the decisions have been made and need to wait for someone to advise them, and hopefully someone without an agenda of their own that will give an honest answer, that is if they still exist. That is my Friday rant for the day. BD
Advocacy groups, meanwhile, are spending tens of millions of dollars on advertising to keep the issue at the forefront of the 2009 Congressional agenda. And working groups, both inside and outside Congress, are meeting to search for points of bipartisan agreement that might produce at least incremental change.
Polls show not that concern about health care has faded significantly, only that the foreboding about energy and the economy has blitzed past it. Some analysts of health care politics argue that because Democrats are more associated with the issue, any de-emphasis may help Republicans. They warn, however, that candidates ignore health care at their own peril.
