What is good for the NATION means nothing.

What is good for the POLITICIAN’s career is paramount.

My take is that the bill is laden with layer on layer of historical compromise. Each layer of each layer is precedent for the under layers.

There is no “good for the nation”. The layer on layer on layer is this group against that group disfavoring a third group that presents unrelated desires into the negotiating chaos. The bill is in effect the nation against it’s self.

The complexity stems from each of the 457 districts having constituents with a compromised layer or partial layer.

The question then becomes do we throw it out and destroy the precedent and thus the negotiated compromise or start from scratch? If major portions are determined to do over from scratch, then it all is up for grabs and renegotiation and new compromise on a massive bipartisan scale.

The result could mean that nothing else gets done by the Congress while this monster gets all sorted out and redone.

It is easy to be critical but the Speaker has a very difficult task ahead charting the path forward.
