Obamacare to Haunt Democrats for Years to Come
Historically, every social entitlement bill from Social Security to Medicare/Medicaid had bi-partisan support.
However, when President Obama signed his signature health care bill into law, it became the first time in history any social entitlement bill has ever passed with the support of only one party – and with bi-partisan opposition.
Because history proves that all major social entitlement programs become fraught with billions of dollars of fraud and waste and exceed their initial budget estimates by billions of dollars, there is no reason to believe that this new “Democrat” health care entitlement program will be an exception.
For Democrats, who held every branch of government when this bill passed, the inevitable economic catastrophe of health care will lie solely at their feet. And, because this new health care entitlement belongs exclusively to Democrats, without one single Republican vote, it will also prove to be a winning election issue for Republicans for the foreseeable future.
While the new health care entitlement will forever seal the social-liberal support of the Democrat party as well as the conservative base of the Republican party, it will also prove to be the tipping point for the majority of independent voters who tend to be more fiscally conservative. And that’s not good news for Democrats.
With regard to the passage of the health care bill, conservative Republicans can rest in the hope that both history and time are on their side.
