from a good friend

Eugene, it is important for all to know what incrementalism is. The liberals in this country are satisfied with any move to the left they can get. For example, the public option was always on the table as a bargaining chip, disposable if necessary but a bonus if the republicans were to weak to fight, which is usually the case. The current bill will go through without the public option however the move to the left and the structure it will create will be irreversible. Also remember, all of the government jobs that will be created to fill the 130 NEW departments will be union jobs never to be done away with. How's that for a chunk of incrementalism. Now, with this in mind read Tyranny cloaked in hope and change.
