I'm watching the Senate Finance Committee hearings on the Rockefeller amendment to include a "public option" in the Finance Committee markup. I'm kind of riveted - the level of debate is quite high, excepting Chuck Grassley. I appreciate Orrin Hatch's point of view, which he expressed eloquently, though I believe it is 100 percent wrong. So hurray for representative democracy.
But here's Kent Conrad comparing health insurance systems in the UK, Canada, France, Germany and so on, and he has to have a staffer hold up a big poster board behind him with summary notes. Why is there no computer projection system in the Finance Committee hearing room? Have these people never heard of Powerpoint?
