Atrios frames Social Security and PNAC right!

[scottxyz]

I've said it before -- universal health care is inevitable. And, I've said what I think the motivating factor will be -- big business will demand it.

I don't think it'll happen anytime soon. But, it will happen -- not because of a peasants' revolt, but because one sector of the economy finally recognizes that they're getting screwed over by another one.


...and, to add -- if it doesn't (I think it will), it's because the fellow travellers of the PNAC crowd, the ones who managed to ensure that the 21st century won't be dominated by American foreign policy, will ensure that we won't dominate economically either. In other words, if it doesn't happen it's because larger forces at work have destroyed the American economy.

We need more progressives who can frame things this way.

(1) PNAC will make US foreign policy IRRELEVANT in the 21st century.

(2) Universal Healthcare is GOOD for businesss, and inevitable - unless the idiots also make the US economy IRRELEVANT in the 21st century.

(3) We need to LAUGH at idiots like Hannity, Novak, Coulter. When you take them seriously and rebut them, that only gives them way more credibility than they deserve. You don't rebut a drooling idiot.
