The American Way

A reader writes:

I can tell you when this country will get real health care reform. It will come when insurance premiums are so high, and when so many people die from lack of health care, and when so many people go bankrupt from paying medical bills, and when the rest of the system is so dysfunctional that when the tea partiers have a protest in Washington, only three people will show up. That’s when there will be real health care reform.

And I guess we will have entitlement reform when the dollar finally crashes, and the debt payments bankrupt us. And I guess we will leave Iraq and Afghanistan when our indefinite occupations raise so much animosity and generate so many terror attacks and drains so much from the Treasury that we will have no choice but to leave by the last proverbial helicopter. And America will address climate change only when it is far too late to stop it.

And even when all this happens, the MSM journalists will be writing about who wins or loses, who's up or down, whose spin is working, whose ads are best. Yes, this is a depressing day.

Yup, everything is shit, & we're all dying. But Sullivan has to have the proverbial sad over it. We're half waiting for him to pick up his toys & go back to Blighty. That'd show us!
