they said it couldn't be done

If you think that government-run health care is the only choice and that incentivizing the private market just won't work, Governor Mitt Romney would like to speak with you.

Finally, Governor Romney recognized that competition is the key to the success of any market - so doing what no one had ever done before, he created a new market where

At least he's not an Oklahoma City beeyotch.

Doh, now I have that song from the old "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" movie in my head.

"The said it couldn't be done, But it can be doooooone....
I never dreamed that I could fly,
over the moon in ecstacy,
but never the less it seems that I
am shortly about to be..."

Always hating science.

Also Mitt Romney is a dipshit.

[caspian_x]

Ha, exactly the opposite. I want people to pay attention to it - in this case, economic social science.

Maybe he is, maybe he's not. Not debating him here and now. I'm simply pointing and saying "Look! It can be done. It HAS been done."

But...but...I had a nice barb all set up there against presidential candidates!

You've ruined the act!

[caspian_x]

Hee. Yes, I thought I'd try to curb tangents today and focus on the main point. Nice try though! :)

A truly heartening program, especially from a state that's got such a history of just paying for social programs with more and more taxes. It doesn't even have to be a rousing success to make me happy. It just has to tempt other states to try it.

You know, when we finally get around to changing our name to the Corporate Subsidiaries of America we'll only have to change one letter of the acronym. So that's a plus.

[caspian_x]

Why do you hate private business so much?

[ikkarus01]

I don't really. I just don't trust megacorporations to have my best interests in mind when they make decisions. So I don't think privatization is the Great Healer of all the World's ills.

Also, I just like being contrary.
