THE PARTY OF "KNOW BETTER"

The Democrats have portrayed the Republicans as "The party of 'no'". They have blamed Republicans for the failure, so far, to pass a health care bill. This, even though they have the presidency, a majority in the House, and (until today) a fillibuster-proof majority in the Senate. The Dems could have passed any bill they wanted. The problem is, they couldn't write a bill they wanted. They could only write bills nobody wants. And I mean nobody.
But even though the American people don't want the House or Senate bills passed, the Democrats think they know better. They really think that when the full provisions of a health care bill kick in (three or four years from now), the American people will love them. Because everybody loves an entitlement. People love Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, unemployment insurance, etc., even though they were too stupid to understand them when they were first proposed. Of course. The Dems think they know better what is best for the nation than the nation itself. They don't understand why anyone would decline health care as a "right", as Senator Harkin believes it is.
