How Might House GOP Congressloons Who Want To Defund Obamacare Have Advised Gottleib Daimler About ‘Horseless Carriages’

‘This hat’s getting too tight!!!’
House Republicans now have 100 cosponsors onboard their bill to defund Obamacare despite strong headwinds from their own party. Eric Cantor’s against it. Rand Paul’s caught a case of realism; GOP Sen. Richard Burr who opined “I think it’s the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard of.” Burr represents North Carolina where their state GOP-controlled legislature has nearly cornered the market on dumb. Burr ought then to know dumb when he sees it. Even Tom Coburn said the idea is “a denial of reality mixed with a whole bunch of hype.” Imagine, Coburn lecturing on reality.
Much of the time, while upbraiding Obamacare, legislators use the “well, you know, freedom” argument. Failing that they roll out the “well, you know, communism” flapdoodle. Failing both of these, Obamacarenots say, “Well if you don’t believe those, how’s about it’ll never work?” well, if that’s among their principal objections, recall that the same babble about Medicare, Social Security, and everything else that has proved to work, if not perfectly, then good enough to benefit millions.
How would these eternal pessimists about governmental action have advised Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach about their early ‘horseless carriage’? Hmmmm.
