Elephant gives birth to mouse
The healthcare playoffs are over. The final score was corporations 9, the people 1. The people continue a 30-year losing streak. They didn’t stand a chance against the corporations’ unlimited money and retarded but fierce special teams of obstructionists in Washington D.C.
The development of the bill was like three blind men describing an elephant based on the part of the elephant they were touching. The entire process was like that elephant in a pregnant state. Months of arduous, difficult, excruciatingly painful labor passed. Finally the day came. The elephant gave birth to a baby mouse.
As the election year comes to a climax, we can expect to see Democrats walking around carrying that little mouse and exclaiming: "Vote for us. Look at what we got for you."
Democrats seem to be afraid of holding power. It' surprising that one even sticks its head out from time to time. They could have done what their more daring predecessors did in the 1930s. They should have attacked, held hearings, prosecuted and exposed all of the irresponsibility, waste, murder and subversive activities of their Republican counterparts. Put the Republicans on the defensive. Now the Democrats are on the defensive for crimes the Republicans committed. As in the 1930s, the Democrats could have increased their majority, possibly up to the 80% they had in that decade. Then the Democrats could have passed real healthcare legislation. They could have trust busted as Teddy Roosevelt and Robert Taft did. They could have taxed financial transactions until every penny of debt was paid off. They could have jailed corporate executives for their massive crimes and confiscate their ill-gotten property. They could have made corporations responsible to the people first, not the stockholders. They could have restored the Constitution, law and order and replaced the dysfunctional legal system with a justice system.
The Democrats act as if they are neophytes at the governing game. It's time to replace they with competent politicians.
