My obligatory post on the debt deal

If I have to read one more piece on what the debt deal means for President Obama, Speaker Boehner, Sen Reid, Sen McConnell, Democrats, Republicans, or any other politicians, I may scream. It would be nice to read a few reasoned pieces on what this means for the American people. Contrary to what many in the chattering class think, the vast majority of Americans don’t care a whit about the inside baseball of politics.

I’m going to take a deep breath here and steel myself to getting back to talking about the health care policy of the US, and what it means for you. Believe me, it’s still important.
