Close enough to the truth to be scary.

while "we" @ FR; knows this is an [satire] piece,
it's becoming far closer to real-life everyday.

(Gruber) “The fact of the matter is that the average American isn't fit to decide whether he needs health insurance or to choose a plan that is adequate for the collective well-being of society. Individuals left to themselves will selfishly choose what's best for themselves alone. Overcoming this individualism is the responsibility of the government. The misrepresentation in the way the ACA was portrayed to voters was for their own good. For that, I make no apology.”

Ya just can't make this stuff up.

Oh, wait, Semmens might have "semi" made it up.

So, in Ratherian terms, it's "fake but accurate", eh?

Another great column, John!

“If President Lincoln could bypass Congress and disregard the Constitution, by rights these same powers can be exercised by President Obama,” Johnson declared.”

Don’t give him any ideas, John!

He's confident that the recipients of these checks will gladly accept and deposit them and that banks wouldn't dare not honor them.”

Gulp. That better be satire.

“No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.”

— U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 9, clause 7

"Drawn from the Treasury." Hmm...

Brilliant and scary, John. Perhaps your best yet.

I’m glad the mods let this one slip through, John. You’re one of the main reasons I come to FR.

John - you should slip in a non satire post once in awhile- to keep us guessing.
