Before commenting on PERS and health care, please check the facts.  Those who draw the really big bucks are retired coaches and administrators.  I do not, having put in my years in charter schools/alternative education.  I'm not sure what is 'delusional' about making sure our next generations are prepared for the job they will be asked to do.  Perhaps you mean I should just give up?
 I'm certainly not naive enough to think Pres. Obama can 'make' the bankers and health insurers to his bidding, not without the help of Congress, and you can't deny the obstructionism from Congress for the past six years.  The publicly stated goal immediately after the 2008 election was to block Obama's efforts to put the country back in order and hold him to one term.  Have you forgotten the mess left by G.W. Bush?
