You are absolutely right. 'Triggers' are just another way of providing political cover for a do-nothing Senate and a spineless White House.

I had hoped for better from President Obama.

The only kind of "change" this is is small change.

cheesenstein Commented on Obama Asks Liberals How Far They're Willing to Compromise on Public Option by Brian Beutler

2009-09-05T05:48:15Z

I'd rather leave the horrible system in place than alleviate the pain Americans are just starting to be aware of.

If there's not sufficient dissatisfaction with the system, there will not be sufficient motivation to change.

cheesenstein Commented on With Reform in Jeopardy, and Progressives Restless, Obama Weighs His Options by Brian Beutler

2009-09-04T19:57:14Z

As one of those who are most hosed by the current system, I'd rather see progressives abandon the bill altogether than pass something half-assed.

If dissatisfaction with health insurance/health care gets reduced at all, there will be no incentive for the comprehensive reform we need.

I'd rather see them keep the situation terrible than let the teabaggers win.
