With apologies to Bobby Fuller (who popularized a work originally written and recorded by Sonny Curtis) we’ve co-opted this wonderful song to make a point about the weapons-grade BS that continues to come out of Washington.
On Tuesday the Clinton campaign (via communications director Jen Palmieri) said the election is a choice between improving President Barack Obama’s health care law or kicking 20 million people off insurance – that the Democrats have a plan to make health insurance more affordable. Said Ms. Palmieri, “What we shouldn’t do is what Donald Trump would do which is throw away the gains we have made.”
These wise words come from the party of Nancy Pelosi who famously said of the Affordable Care Act, “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.” Interesting logic.
So what exactly are the gains that the Clinton campaign references? According to this report by the Government Accountability Office the executives running Obamacare literally broke the law – their own law – by diverting taxpayer funds to hide the true cost of the program. This is progress?
See y’all at the polls on Nov 8th.
