Morning findings

The Senate has released their health care bill. Part of how it pays for itself is by taxing insurance policies that cost more than $8,500/yr per person. The AFL-CIO thinks this qualifies as "middle-class." Ezra Klein makes a two-birds-one-stone-argument that the tax not only funds health care, but puts pressure on costs.

It was partly the Army's fault that Katrina was so devastating. I did not know what the MRGO was before hearing this story.

I really want to go here, here, and here.

I can't get this stupid shit out of my head.
