The Atlantic features the dumbest part of Congress, the heart of the Tea Party caucus. Jim Jordan, Tim Huelskamp, Steve King, Michele Bachmann, Paul Broun, Steve Stockman and assorted other jackasses. These guys talk about bankrupting our country while always trying to cut taxes. You know what will bankrupt our country? How about slashing revenues? Or invading random shithole countries. Or spending nearly half of all world military spending. These folks are clueless fools who get spoon fed bullshit about trickle down economics and other idiocy, then repeat it as fact.
Health care is a basic need of humans to live, and is 1/6 of our economy. I think we'll be able to provide access to more people without bankrupting our country. Maybe these morons have a better idea on improving our health care system, but all I hear is tort reform and selling insurance across state lines. I don't see that as making things better. Let's give the PPACA a spin and actually adapt the law as we go along to make improvements. In the end, I think we will end up with some form of single payer, and I think we will be better off. But for now, we just have to keep the above morons from defaulting on our debt, and keep them in the backbenches where they can't do any damage. They are really too dumb to do anything productive, and I also think they are too lazy. While they complain about people getting help from the government, they are tilting at windmills while collecting checks from the taxpayers. I wish there were ways to convince the folks in their districts to vote them out, but most of them represent rural areas where voters love being told how self-sufficient they are and such, and they've come to believe it. Just make sure the Social Security checks keep coming and that Medicare pays for the hip replacements.
