Real American Heroes

As Congress prepares to recess at the end of this week, the left wing of the Democratic Party is making plans to vilify those blue dog Democrats who have stood in the way of the steamroller on national health care. One hopes that the majority of people will make known that those Congressmen are, to this point, at least, American heroes.

There is room to disagree over the extent to which government involvement in health care should increase. However, what seems indisputable regarding current proposals is that the math does not work. The shocking CBO numbers make clear that what is currently out there simply is not sustainable. Groups so ideologically committed to national health care that they are willing to ignore the math are blatantly irresponsible. Members of both parties who stand in their way deserve our thanks.
