A liberal of my acquaintance didn’t so much defend ObamaCare in Twitter as much as he spoke up for that can-do American talent for fixing things.
@[redacted]: @mitchpberg Just finished watching “Band of Brothers” for the umpteenth time.Ultimately Americans are good at making things work.
He followed up:
@[redacted]: @mitchpberg If we could produce a hundred thousand warplanes in a couple of years, why would you think we couldn’t make a website work?
We Americans are indeed good at fixing things. We fixed Europe – surely we can fix a website. Right?
Maybe. But if we’d fought WWII the way we’re socializing healthcare, we’d have drafted all the forty-to-sixty-year-olds, and then simultaneously invaded every nation on earth.
Why couldn’t they make it work in the 3.5 years between the time that the ACA passed and Oct.1, 2013? Why does it work now when it didn’t on October 1?
This very liberal administration had more time between the enactment of Obamacare and the opening of the website than there was between Pearl Harbor and VE day. Back in that day, a Democrat could mobilize American, fire up the engines of industrial production, equip more than half the world with arms, and defeat the Germans and Italians in 3.5 years. These days, a Democrat can’t even get a web site to work.
That’s the Republicans fault, Nerdbert. Especially Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin.
Also, racism!
