it's finally recess here in congress...meaning the streets and buildings have completely emptied out as congressional staff members take their stockpiled vacation days and bolt the city. and i will follow the masses and take my leave as well.
but this recess has the added bonus...unlike previous breaks, this one doesn't have that sense of pressure, that i was leaving something unfinished. and that is because the century long health care debate has finally ended. sure there will be court challenges and the midterm elections...but behind all the teabaggers and empty rhetoric, health care reform is ultimately finished and the democrats have won. and though we don't know how it'll eventually play out in november, i doubt the world be succumb to armageddon.
and after over a year's worth of toil, we finally have time to reflect on the efforts of the staff that pushed through this effort. and some well-deserved recognition must be made.
