And now we have it. . .
. . .the only problem is — what we have is a joke. A big, sad, expensive joke on the American people. Oh, they’ll try to sell it all right, as hard as they can. They’ll try to tell you about all the money it will save and all the people it will help. They’ll pat themselves on the back and wax eloquent like the carnival barkers they really are, shilling for the carnival owners — the health care industry. But don’t be fooled.
Remember all the parrots, reciting that wonderful-sounding phrase “Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good”? Well, now we get what they really meant — “Don’t let the good be the enemy of taking whatever we can get, and selling it to the American people as though it was something.”
Maybe it’s time that this country went the way of ancient Greece and ancient Rome and all the others who imploded from their own greed and corruption and selfishness and stupidity.
