Less than one third of Americans believe President Obama's proposed health care reforms will be good for America. More than half of the elected representatives of the American people are on record as supporting that legislation. What does this tell us about the health of Edmund Burke's "trustee" model of representation versus his "delegate" model?

"WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama has signed into law a $1.1 trillion bill that increases the budgets in many areas of the government by about 10 percent, including health, law enforcement and veterans' programs.

Obama signed the bill privately at the White House on Wednesday after receiving the bill from Congress on Sunday.

The bill lumps together six of the 12 annual appropriations bills for the 2010 budget year that began Oct. 1."

Is this another teachable moment?

All this tells us is that when you let lobbyists write legislation, the polity doesn't like it. Pretty basic.
