Why I trust the Fed and Commissions more than congress

I have found the healthcare debate very unsettling. Democratic Senators Landrieu, Lincoln, Nelson, and Lieberman ended up switching positions many times. Republican Senators Snow, Collins, and Grassley argued against things they used to support.

It was all in the name of politics. Quite simply Congress cannot be trusted to act for the good of the country. Monday's Paul Krugman column summarizes the idiocy of the senate's fillibuster rule in the days of hyper-partisan politics.
