What the GOP fight with itself over healthcare demonstrates is the Party's incredible vacuity when it comes to policy. Neither side in this argument makes any sense. Sean Spicer had the temerity/gall to claim that the GOP plan was smaller "because it wasn't accommodating special interests." HA!

As Hillary Clinton pointed out, what the country needs for stability is a rejiggering of the tax system to increase taxes on the wealthy for the benefit of us all - to pay for infrastructure, fix Obamacare, and save SS and Medicare. The ACA was a start in the right direction, but it didn't go far enough. Virtually every aspect of the GOP plan will make the system worse - less coverage, more expensive, fewer subsidies, less oversight, and fiscally irresponsible to boot. Not only is the emperor not wearing any clothes, he's got profanity scrawled all over his body aimed at the voters.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
