We all know how the blogosphere is abuzz with the House of Reps health care bill vote passing 220-215. I just have to question the wisdom of celebrating such a narrow “victory”. Sure the fanboys will applaud it as the best thing since sliced bread (or at least since Social Security and Medicare), but the rest of the country will hail it as a prelude to the downfall of civilization (or at least a much more government dominated socialist state). Now I know that Republicans have narrowly pushed things through the government before. So have the Democrats. Those may not have been wise either. But in such a politically divided country, wouldn’t it have been wiser to keep working on the bill until you had at least a 60% majority?

As quoted in many books and movies: “Just because you can, it doesn’t mean you should.”
