Last night Lord Kadizzle talked to Senator Conrad in person at the Beulah Civic Center. Conrad said he could not support the public option because it would bankrupt hospitals in North Dakota. Instead Conrad is proposing health cooperatives, which may not be such a bad idea.
When the question session came up Kadizzle asked Conrad why the government did not raise money by removing the social security exemption for those making more than 106k. Conrad dodged the question and talked about offshore tax havens. I have directly asked Senator Dorgan the same question with the same result. At the same time I asked what the Democrats would do about the extreme concentration of wealth in our country by the top one percent. Again no answer. Taxing the rich seems out of the question for both Conrad and Dorgan. My faith in the Democrats is getting shaky.
