Noteworthy:
"Now, I understand that President Obama has chosen to sell his health care plan in the current budget as a way to control costs. How else to even colorably bill it as a policy response to the immediate economic crisis? That it won't control costs seemed, initially, to be merely disingenuous--and what's a little deception if that's what it takes to get a good universal health care law passed? But on second thought, Obama's strategy isn't just disingenuous. In the not-so-long run it's ineffective, a political loser. "...and:
"But now, through a heroic, concerted effort at self-congratulatory Obamaist groupthink, the Dems are about to cast the government in the cost-cutting, treatment denying role and put themselves on the side of the heartless bureaucratic bean counters."Kudos to Kaus, who has the academic and intellectual integrity to actually point out Dem/Lefty/"Progressive" nonsense on a regular basis. Not too many libs (including most of our locals) possess that quality.
Sam has more at the Spag report.

You know I have always wondered why Canadians and the Europeans accept this kind of health care. In Canada my friend told me that people are not actually denied treatment they are merely put on the back burner waiting list until they die. The people seem to go like sheep and accept this treatment.
ReplyDeleteIt is of course the ONLY way that Universal Health Care can even remotely operate because to offer the current level of treatment would be impossibly unsustainable. (which it will prove to be anyhow in the future!) BB
I frankly do not believe that the real thinking American people will accept this kind of brainwashing and go along like good little sheepels as many of the 53% who voted for this idiot in chief. That along with the overwhelming cost of government being thrust upon them will create a furor like has not been heard since the 1700's.
ReplyDeleteI truely believe that this past week we only saw the tip of the iceberg that is to rise up out of the sea of complacency and sink this ship of foolishness being sailed by a crew of fools.
