"I JUST WANNA LOOK LIKE I CARE"

The Senate of the United States has recently passed the Health bill, now it goes back to the House and on and on and on. What amazes me is how the votes for such things can be "bought". Some Senators were holding out apparently looking out for their constituants. Those fence sitting Senators we find out were appeased by getting their pet projects written into the bill. Obviously these projects will look good when they are up for re-election. Now that the representatives in the house see how to do it, do you think they will all of a sudden do the same? Is this corruption? Is this getting what is best for the country or "just for me"? Where is all the transparency the administration promised? It really doesn't matter because as long as I look like I care, I'll get mine".
