RECONCILIATION

Life is all about reconciliation.

America’s strength is based upon reconciliation.  A synonym for reconciliation is compromise.  That is the basis for our form of government going back to Benjamin Franklin.  The first 10 amendments to the constitution were a gesture of compromise by those believing the basic document was sufficient.

Of course feuding married couples try to find reconciliation of their marital disagreements through some form of compromise.  Just enter the words “marital reconciliation” into Google and the results are significant.  Many web sites offer success stories.

Oh those jobs I accepted to put food on the table and pay the bills.  They were jobs I thought I would never take.  Higher earning Americans cannot survive on unemployment insurance for very long without impacting their savings.   

The Senate just faced a reconciliation bill on health care.  Unfortunately the Republicans want to make some political capital out of this situation.  They are more of a flag waving group than Democrats.  Apparently they do not see that they are destroying a basic tenant of our democracy.
