I will grant you that Jay Carney does not have an easy job. Standing there day after day trying to make the case that Obama is a good president, and that his policies are good for the nation, has to be the the greatest square-peg-in-a-round-hole proposition in America today.
ObamaCare can't be fixed. It is flawed by definition. It is the very definition of sabotage
Then again, no one forced him to take the job, so he has no excuse when he makes absurd claims like the classic that Republicans are sabotaging ObamaCare.
To listen to Carney and many other Democrats, all ObamaCare needs is a few simple fixes, but those horrible Republicans refuse to allow them because they want the whole thing to fail so Obama will be embarrassed and Americans will not be able to get health care.
Let me tell you something. Republicans are not sabotaging ObamaCare. No one is sabotaging ObamaCare. No one needs to sabotage ObamaCare, because ObamaCare is sabotage. The reason ObamaCare is failing is not because of glitches or the need for corrective measures. ObamaCare is failing because ObamaCare, when it works by design, destroys the health insurance market and the quality of health care along with it. You simply cannot herd everyone into the same risk pool, mandate that everyone pay the same rates and choose from the same plans, mandate benefits most people don't even want, and then claim premiums will go down.
That cannot work. By definition. It's economically impossible. Conservatives warned of this for four years but the media didn't take the warnings seriously because they don't understand basic economics. Even now they don't understand. They just think the roll-out has been botched.
The problem is not the rollout, folks. The problem is the plan itself. And don't blame Republicans for not fixing it. ObamaCare can't be fixed. It is flawed by definition. It is the very definition of sabotage. And the only way to "fix" it is to get rid of it.
