When the Minority controls the Destiny

We are in serious times.

It seems to me that at the national level and at the state level the minority is calling the shots.

Its predictable that our state, with its 2/3 requirement to pass a budget that the minority would carry such unpredictable power. The point of a super majority is that you have bipartisan support for any serious expenditure. With the Republican minority holding to no new taxation, and the state in dire need, the predicted results follow. Still a minority should not have that kind of power.

The same thing is happening at the national scene. Health care reform is being held up by a minority with little support. It is still championing its conservative causes through this important legislation. Our survival as an economic force is controlled by a few that want to limit any possible support at the federal level for women's health. This is not fair. The voters voted this kind of thinking out when they elected Obama and congress people in the last major election.

How can we not afford the health care that we have to have? The minority voices should be heard but the majority voices should rule.
