Jacob S. Hacker and Paul Pierson: The GOP backed Wall Street during the darkest days of 2009 and 2010, when industry lobbyists valiantly battled the nefarious forces of reform that John Boehner derided to donors as "punk staffers." Once Democrats seemed less reliable, financial industry contributions swung to the other side of the aisle. And loyalty has its rewards. The GOP's top officials are now promising they will do whatever they can to gut the already-compromised financial reforms of 2010.

Amy Siskind: How the GOP Blew it on the Paycheck Fairness Act -- and Who the Biggest Cowards Were

Well, it didn't take long. The Republican Party was handed a historic opportunity with women. And yet, this week, the Senate voted 58-41 against allowing debate on the Paycheck Fairness Act. Not a single Republican voted "yea."

Stephan A. Schwartz: Where Are the Family Doctors?

In 2010, the United States has 352,908 primary care doctors. Some estimate that 45,000 more will be needed by 2020. Will they be there? Most who examine the issue believe they will not.
