A Party Without a Death Wish Would Beat Them to Death With Their Own Pancreas
But all we have is the Democratic Party, so now that the Republican Party has formally proposed abolishing Medicare and Replacing it with vouchers, so I expect that they, and Barack Obama in particular, will spend the next few months negotiating with themselves before capitulating.
E.J. Dionne asks a question:
And you wonder: Will President Obama welcome the responsibility of engaging the country in this big argument, or will he shrink from it? Will his political advisers remain robotically obsessed with poll results about the 2012 election, or will they embrace Obama’s historic obligation — and opportunity — to win the most important struggle over the role of government since the New Deal?They will shrink from their responsibility, even though it fighting for Medicare is an unalloyed political winner for them.
This has been another answer of simple answers to simple questions.
