Unserious reform will pass this year, some fruit loopy co-ops or some phony trigger, or nothing at all if the progressives decide to stand tall, but the bottom line, as has been clear since the spring, is that the Obama Administration and the Democratically controlled Congress could not deliver the votes for anything other than ineffectual, marginal bullshit.

Gorilla doesn’t like to crow on this one, because it’s the country who loses: “I told you so!”
