Me, I like limits on power. The more the better. Whatever happened to politics as the art of the possible?
Really? How about the limits on the powerful corporate oligarchs? On the powerful political establishment? On the limited contraints of unfettered capitalism?

And I took Warren's quote as exactly the opposite: she it talking specifically about the art of the possible. Her drive to reach for the stars in terms of healthcare for all is no less a promise than JFKs promise to put people on the moon within a decade. She is for the power of the people to thrive without worrying about their health. She is AGAINST the power of the healthcare industries to dictate what doctors can prescribe and people can get in the interest of their own profits.
