And let's not forget, Bush Jr. had no problem expending Medicare, and Romney's Disasterchusets plan became the ACA's blueprint. Romney's reward? He became the Republican nominee, just in time for the ACA roll out. Could be for a "just in case" Obama doesn't get re-elected scenario to make sure ACA got implemented according to plan, could be coincidence, or I could be wrong. <br /><br />Romney doesn't seem too bashful about being another New England big government Republican. I'd dare call him the Republican Obama. As the next Republican likely would be too. Christie, anyone? The unfortunately unprincipled Rand Paul? Ted Cruz?<br /><br />And I'd have to agree with Gary North, if this isn't the cup of coffee that jolts people awake and snaps them out of dreamland, I'm not sure what would be.<br /><br />I also want to take the time to commend you and this blog, it's right up there in my bookmark listing along with LRC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-8187870698533765782013-11-10T10:08:11.007-08:002013-11-10T10:08:11.007-08:00I agree - I have suggested also that the republica...I agree - I have suggested also that the republicans should do nothing to "improve" the program or delay its implementation - not for my care of republicans (I have none), but for the desired end of seeing the state as god.<br /><br />It seems to me if the republicans do anything to help smooth things along, it is just one more sign (as if one more was needed) that both parties want the same thing...more government.<br /><br />As to stoking a widespread distrust in government, this is a compelling suggestion. Gary North has suggested that a) this will be the last big government program ever approved due to the colossal failure, and b) this will be due not only to the fiscal constraints, but because it will be seen as the destruction of "the state as healer" myth.bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-28486668151575991082013-11-10T08:58:13.249-08:002013-11-10T08:58:13.249-08:00This interview and the massacre that is Dear Leade...This interview and the massacre that is Dear Leader's pet project seems reason enough for the Republican "opposition" to encourage and welcome the ACA's implementation, for nefarious reasons of course. (Their mindset, not mine.) <br /><br />Just a thought - in light of the State being an entity that's been shown to be just as untrustworthy as it is unreliable, do you think ACA could be what stokes a widespread distrust in government?<br /><br />Five years ago I'd say no, but we're in a much different climate today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
