- nickff 10mo agoYour quote would seemingly apply to a number of recent administrations, given the state of federal healthcare programs and legislation.
- RankingMember 10mo agoThe difference is that they didn't brag about how easy it would be before failing
- unglaublich 10mo agoAlways the asymmetric standards... R may fuck everything up if D made a mistake.
- DonHopkins 10mo agoBut Rs fuck things up on purpose, even things that hurt themselves, just own own the libs, and then complain about how things are so fucked up.
- RankingMember 10mo agoI'm not sure I understand what you're saying.
- lobf 10mo agoWhat other administrations have said healthcare wouldn't be hard?
- jiggawatts 10mo agoSingle payer is easy! If you reject the best and only easy option from the outset because you don’t want actual healthcare, then yeah… whatever remains is going to be “hard”. What the US has right now is a complex entrenched system of financial middlemen that refuse to abandon their rent seeking. They provide only(!) financial “services” and will fight actual healthcare tooth and nail. Trump wasn’t strong enough — or simply didn’t care enough — to fight these people.
- candiddevmike 10mo agoNo, in this case you can attribute to malice instead of stupidity. Thankfully the stupidity is limiting the amount of malice in some cases.
