Obama, once again, attempts to advance a policy proposal by setting up a straw man, this time on health care:
So, one option is just to do nothing. We say, well, it’s too expensive for us to make some short-term investments in health care. We can’t afford it. We’ve got this big deficit. Let’s just keep the health care system that we’ve got now.
This is the same tack he took with his stimulus package (“some say we should just do nothing…”) and his budget. But who in the political arena wants to do nothing when it comes to these problems? Name some names!
Of course, he can’t say “some want to control costs by introducing market reforms” because that would force him to actually have a substantive response. And as we heard in his speech on Gitmo the other day, substance is not his thing (still waiting on your plan for Gitmo, Mr. Prez, love, Harry Reid).
