Now We Know: “Ultimately, this is not about a process, it’s about results”
#2 bibio44, BTW, Social Security and Medicare are both growing in an inverse ratio as to payees (that’s payers to you) to recipients. Less and less of the former and exponentially growing numbers of the latter.
So if the administration and congress cannot reform these programs that are headed for one pressure cooker of a train wreck, can’t manage those, what makes them competent to administer any new ones?
Again they trot out the boilerplate of “there is a crisis”, ” we’ve got to do it NOW!”, “don’t bother to read it, much less debate the merits of this Bill”, “We’ve got to do this thing NOW!”, “Don’t you know there is a crisis?”, If we don’t do it NOW!, there will be a Great Depression!!”, “We’ve got A CRISIS™!!”
Did I mention there’s a crisis?”
And so on round and round it goes, leaving it to weasels to parse David Axelrods use of the word “ultimately” or his directive that debate, much less “reading” these Bills be suspended.
Just speak to us of the state of Social Security and Medicare, and why no one should worry, because there is all these cool green jobs gonna come, and free health care for all, and what else? Oh, I’m sure there is something.
The Dems in congress are losing their will to sign on for this stuff. The Cap & Trade bill that was to be pushed through Senate just after July 4th holiday has been postponed (plunging approval #s in inverse proportion to soaring disapproval #’s perhaps?) until september.
They are getting skittish, so look for this stuff to start dragging on, like its supposed to.
