Harris asked a reasonable question

I cannot believe the diatribes and articles on U.S. Rep.-elect Andy Harris asking when his health coverage starts. This is a common question and concern of working, insured Americans. We ask, maybe even suggest the company change policy, then we go buy an interim policy so we are covered for the period in question. It is a common sense question and of concern of most of us, albeit not with progressives who can't be bothered by details or facts.

Why not the same coverage on the following:

•Allowing the Congress to not pass a 2011 budget. (I guess he didn't want the additional deficit programmed into the budget to get out before elections earlier this month. I know this is the Congress' fault too, but he could be a leader for a change.
