HOPE’nCRINGE? The basic issue of health care reform was simple: Who decides? The Democrats' answer: The government.

During the Clinton health care debate, Wall Street analyst Kenneth Abramowitz opined: "Right now, health care is purchased by 250 million morons called U.S. citizens." It was necessary to "move them out, reduce their influence, and let smart professionals buy it on our behalf."

Yep. We’re morons. And we are governed by lesser morons (known as idiots).
