And yet, a couple of weeks ago, the local affiliate of PBS, called Horizon, hosted a debate on health care. One was a surgeon, and he was emphatic that Obama’s program sucked, and royally. As such, he would have a difficult time maintaining his two million plus per year. The second person, was a primary care physician and his argument was that Medicare payments covered his overhead but did not permit him to make a profit for all his hard work. And the third person, the former Director of the State Health Services Department, advocated for ‘open access’ to the VA’s medical systemic.

Consequently, Kyl is probably one of the top three smartest Senators among the 100, and yet, he will ‘manufacture’ a political position at the drop of the hat, and all from the perspective of the Chamber of Commerce. Thus, one needs only to understand the full panoly of ‘arguments’ being made by the Chamber, and Kyl will carry this leaking bucket of water with nary a drop spilled.

In summary, do not underestimate Kyl and as the Number Two Jefe among the Right, he can eat your lunch and done easily. He was ‘behind the curtain’ during McCain’s campaign, but it was a difficult stretch, since Kyl knows that McCain is ‘confused’. And Kyl hides behind McConnell, and will eventually jettison McConnell when the time becomes both appropriate and convenient. Moreover, he is Ambition Personified and to the Nth degree.

Apologies for repeating what Blue Texan wrote at the top-just my department of redundancy department checking in.

Texas is one of the lowest in funding for mental health

Damn if the result of that isn’t demonstrated every day

Texas is one of the lowest in funding for mental health *in good times* and those providers are being stretched to the breaking point in the current climate.

The LAST thing anyone ought to do is “be like Texas”. Effing idiot.
