It’s Been, What? Days Since We’ve Heard From Louie?
Louie Gohmert is not one to let you down. Louie is his name and entertainment is his game!
Louie is now just absolutely certain that Obamacare is evil, evil I tell you.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) explained Tuesday why the Affordable Care Act, unlike communism, will never “fall of its own weight” — because it generates funding while people languish “on lists” until they die.
“Socialism and communism fall of their own weight because, as Margaret Thatcher said, you run out of other people’s money,” Gohmert added. “Because socialized medicine never falls of its own weight because you put people on lists and they die waiting to get the treatment and care. So you don’t go broke.”
Okay, three things.
Thing 1: Obamacare is not socialized medicine. I wish it was. It’s not.
Thing 2: Countries with socialized medicine are doing just fine on the economic front. Canada and England are two pretty darn good examples.
Thing 3: If Louie is referring to “the list” of veterans in the Phoenix Veteran’s Affairs system, let me say this real loud: It was Louie and his Republican buddies in Congress who are refusing to pay for improvements in veteran care. They repeatedly vote anti-veteran. They are making “the list” and checking it twice.
No wait, four things:
Thing 4: Louie Gohmert is going to hell.
Thanks to Sharon for the heads up.
