I had the same impression. But this is how political discourse seems to work this day. Instead of making suggestions for improvement an idea gets dismissed completely and nothing happens as a result. Happened with Obamacare and also with the discussion about regulations. Instead of suggesting specific improvements it turns into a black and white debate without results.
- monkbent 8y agoThis is why the entire second half of the article was detailing where I think focus should be.
- maxxxxx 8y agoMaybe the title was already too confrontational. How about "How I would improve Warren's plan" or something like that?
- your-nanny 8y agoyes that would have been better. didn't finish article, but headline would have kept me reading to the end because I would have expected critique to be followed with constructive suggestions
- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoI’m interested that many people seem to be under the impression that inaction is never the right solution. If the choices are ”we must do something, even if it’s the wrong thing” (a fallacy) and doing nothing because we aren’t sure - I prefer the latter. Anyone with government experience should understand this. In this case, the truth is Warren isn’t sure. No one is. This entire thing isn’t Standard Oil, it’s just a hollow campaign bulletin point to get her name used.
