If you think trying to follow and understand the debate over health care reform is daunting, wait until we get to the Climate Change Bill. I don’t have the first clue about the agricultural aspects of that legislation. I don’t understand who the players are. I don’t know who needs what in order to support the bill. I don’t know if the House or Senate version is better. I don’t know shit.
All I know is that it doesn’t seem very likely that the Senate will pass a bill anything like what is currently being contemplated. There seems to be too many moving pieces and too many interest groups that have the ear of too many rural Democrats. I’ll do my best to learn the details, but it feels a bit like tackling calculus.
