Dead on Arrival
On Sunday, in More Obama Dead-on-Arrival Tax Proposals, a post regarding Obama’s proposed corporate tax hikes, I asked a simple question …
Is there a point to beating your head against a concrete wall? The answer would seem to be “no”, yet President Obama continues to do just that with dead-on-arrival proposals. …. If he’s attempting to pound some sense into his head, it’s clearly not working.
Republican Head Banging
Now it’s the Republican’s turn at head-banging.
- The Huffington Post reports House Passes 56th Anti-Obamacare Measure.
- The Daily Caller reports House Passes Bill To Repeal Obamacare.
- The Washington Examiner notes that has been tried before three times in its report House Passes Fourth attempt at Obamacare Repeal.
From the Washington Examiner: “The debate sounded like it usually does — with Democrats hammering Republicans trying to strip away the law’s insurance subsidies and other benefits, and Republicans contending that the law remains unpopular among the public and has raised insurance costs for some people or cost them hours of employment.“
What’s the Point?
Obama will veto the legislation, assuming the Senate does not kill it first. That begs the question: Is there a point?
In Praise of Head-Banging
I see the error in my ways. There is a point to it, although it certainly will not pound sense into anyone’s head.
In contrast to typical Washington compromise non-solutions, head-banging seldom does much harm. In fact, head-banging provides entertainment value….
