Today\’s quote comes to us from George Will, speaking this morning on Fox News Sunday, about the Obama administration strategy for trying to get people past the unworkable monstrosity that is ObamaCare, by claiming that “the debate is over” so we should all move on:
“Well, the debate is over is something of a mantra. The debate is over about climate change, everyone be quiet. The debate is over about early childhood education, everyone be quiet. Lots of things are supposedly over. And you hear that from people who are finding the evidence inconvenient. Now, is it working? That\’s a fairly minimal claim. I mean the farm subsidies in this country are working whether or not they are doing good work is another matter. So this is — the argument about ObamaCare is not just about ObamaCare. It\’s about the nature of the American regime. What kind of country do we want to live in. And therefore, it\’s going to tick on for some while. Furthermore, we haven\’t seen how the distribution of enrollees, how many are young and how are female are going to have the work of adverse selection. So I\’d say it\’s a fairly minimal claim. And he is contradicting himself. He says we should all quit talking about this except Democrats this fall should campaign on the basis of the multiform excellence of the Affordable Care Act.”
One look at the polling for ObamaCare – both before and after the supposedly issue-ending “7 million enrolled” number was reached (assuming that really is the number, given the lies we have been told about ObamaCare every step of the way) will tell you this debate is far from over. And that is before we look at who these people are – i.e. how few 18-34s signed up, how many sign-ups are people who had insurance but lost it due to ObamaCare, how many just clicked on the web site but will never pay a premium, etc. etc. etc.
George Will earns Quote Of The Day honors for doing something our current administration has very little experience with: telling the truth, in a plain, understandable way.
Almost three more years before we can even hope for that in the White House….
