Opinion
The Original Lie About Obamacare
And how that lie led the Republicans into the mess they’re now in.
"Today’s
Republican Party has moved so far to the right that it no longer
supports any plan that covers the uninsured. Of course, Republican
leaders are not willing to say as much, because they know how unpopular
that position is. Having run out of political ground, Ryan, McConnell
and Trump have had to invent the notion of a socialistic Obamacare that
they will repeal and replace with … something great! This morning they
were also left to pretend that the Budget Office report was something
less than a disaster.
Their
approach to Obamacare has worked quite nicely for them, until now.
Lying can be an effective political tactic. Believing your own
alternative facts, however, is usually not so smart."
