Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) doesn’t have a voting record ranked as far left as Socialist Bernie Sanders by accident; Sherrod thinks a bigger central government is the answer to every problem. In this video,
Senator Brown applies his trademark class warfare to the issue of
Medicare, instructing a gathering of teachers’ union members to
indoctrinate their family, friends, and students against cruel conservatism:
Like the first half of Sherrod’s answer to a question
about whether privatization of government programs is a Wall Street
conspiracy, there is so much stupid in this clip that it’s tough to
begin. To his credit, Sherrod Brown is consistent! Sherrod consistently
glosses over exploding federal deficits, consistently attributes the
worst motives to anyone who tries to limit government’s power, and
consistently brags about the wonders of failed Progressive governance.
Even with crippling tax hikes, the government programs whose praises Sherrod sings will bankrupt the nation
by mid-century. Even if Medicare did amazing things for every American
it served, only a fool or liar would fight reforms to a collapsing
system.
This is why I ask, earnestly, my question from the end of the video:
Is Sherrod Brown an idiot, or a dishonest idealogue? The brutal effects of Washington spending on America’s economy are plain to see, and unfunded entitlement liabilities total in the tens of trillions. Yet, as our fiscal canoe sloshes toward the falls, Sherrod Brown attacks with a straight face anyone who dares paddle backwards.
Sherrod’s mathematically outrageous and transparently political scare
tactics are, like most every policy Sherrod has ever pursued, wrong for
Ohio and wrong for America. Next November, Ohio should send Obamacare
champion Sherrod Brown packing… along with the guy that awful
legislation is named for.

Cross-posted from that hero and Big Government.
there is significant evidence that senator brown is simply wrong. the market share of medicare hmos continues to grow. medicare benies are flocking to them. if they were mean and evil the would have failed long ago.
ReplyDeletefurther the hmos have expanded market share while delivering mandated benefits and making a profit.
the private sector works the government doesn't. Brown is just too stupid and ideologically blinkered to realize this basic fact.
I love the notation for a Democrat from Ohio... (D-OH) looks like D'oh! Just like Homer Simpson says. Every time we elect a Democrat... D'oh!
ReplyDeleteSherrod Brown is as dumb as a rock. He is told what to say by colleagues and unions. We need to send him packing.
ReplyDeleteI do agree that senator brown has made a mistake. Health issue of people can be never neglected.
