David Brooks opposes the Senate health bill. Paul Krugman supports it.
Meanwhile, liberals are in revolt over the idea that the bill might pass. We live in strange times.

This is another victory for the plutocracy, the Republican party and Joe Liebermann. There will never be, in our lifetime, reasonable health care in this country. We had better face the nasty facts.
