I think the Obamacare fiasco shows the failures of liberalism in general. It shows that big government top down solutions to issues facing the country don’t work as planned. It shows that bureaucracy and lack of accountability and bad unintended consequences will result. It shows that government generally can’t run programs very well.
Liberals have other ideas for big government top down solutions in other areas, such as energy and education. As such plans are discussed, I hope that the experience of Obamacare will be discussed, to show what we can expect if we enact draconian programs to deal with other problems.
According to polls, only about 20% of Americans are died in the wool liberal/radical types. There is a sensible center of American politics, which unfortunately has voted for Obama in the past two elections. But that sensible center is seeing failures of liberalism with Obamacare, and they can be persuaded against supporting the liberals in the future. Just my opinion.
Good point Dilbert - thanks.
In short, it shows that all liberals and big government are capable of is creating cluster-f*cks of huge proportions.
