There are lots and lots of stupid Republicans who have even more stupid ideas!
Lemme see now, “Romneycare” Romney; “End of the Day” Corker, “To Hell with my voters” Cornyn; “Fool’s Errand” McCain, “Make sure that it never happens again” Graham, “Read my lips, No New TAXES!” Bush, “Deficits don’t matter” Reagan, “No child left behind” Bush, “I am not a crook” Nixon, etc, etc.
The important observation is what is the sum of all of a Federal Politician’s ideas?
How rapidly were the stupid ideas rejected by that politician?
Did the good outweigh the harm done by the politician?
A stupid person is one who is incapable of learning. Few Republican Politicians fit that definition.
An ignorant person is one that does not know, a trait common to all who begin the task of learning.
An intelligent person is one who has the ability to learn quickly, something that President Reagan demonstrated frequently, except for his failure to learn about Defecits.
Yup, the Nationalization, single payor “solution” to controlling medical cost was an idea common to Socialists in England, Communists in Russia, and bird-brains at the Heritage Foundation.
England is still stupid, Russia went under, and the Heritage Foundation had to eat crow.
Lesson learned: A Free and Open Medical Market will always outperform anything any Government will ever come up with.
Only the stupid still believe in Nationalized, Socialized or Government Medical. or Medical Insurance Control, as if they haven’t learned it from the abject failure of Obama’Care’ they never will.
BTW, “You can’t fix stupid. Stupid is FOREVER.” (Ron White).
Funny, the last four fiscal budgets during the Reagan presidency had lower and lower deficits and dropped as a percentage of both the federal budget and GDP.
Reagan meant “deficits didn’t matter” as a means and they’d take care of themselves with solid economic growth policies along with decreasing the growth of federal spending and, if GHW Bush hadn’t of stabbed him in the back, the process of decreasing and eliminating useless programs and spending.
The tax revenues doubled under his presidency and he did that with almost 100% Dem control of Congress. The GOP had full control of all in 2004-2006 and turned into tax and spend liberals.
