Baucus, A Man Can't Serve Two Masters

It is stories like this from the Washington Post which make it painfully clear what is wrong with our political system and why this country is the only industrialized nation without universal health care. I'm reminded of Matthew 6:24:

No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

Baucus spokesman Tyler Matsdorf claims that Baucus “is only driven by one thing: what is right for Montana and the country.” This is fully and completely a lie. You don't schedule a $10,000 a plate fund raiser for medical industry lobbyists more than 5 years away from your next election if you are not driven by the money.

Senator Baucus, you can only serve one master. Soon we will find out which one it is: the American people or big medical corporations.
