Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Didn't We Already Do This?

Ezra Klein lays out the absurdity of the current litigation to overturn the Affordable Care Act.  It is an example of several important aspects of our politics and I suggest you read the whole thing. It's not long.

But it illustrates a few things:

- Republican ideas on health care primarily negative, both in terms of policy and politics.  They have nothing to offer that is positive.
- This remains a political liability for them.
- Joe Lieberman remains a fucking tool.
