Well, since there isn't any constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to filibuster by just saying you're filibustering unless you're overruled by a 2/3 majority rather than a simple majority, then clearly the defense of this bedrock foundation of freedom and democracy will have to be defended by use of the second amendment. This is what all the second amendment guys have been warning us about, right? Now is the time! Sew up some flags with "2/3 or Death!".
All this yakking back and forth just obscures what everyone knows. Everyone. And that is that the success of something like Obamacare would bring a lot of votes to the Democrats. The name Obamacare, originally intended as a pejorative, would end up reminding voters who gave this to them, rather than harboring some sort of ideological grudge against creeping socialism. Ted Cruz said as much when he said that they needed to defund it now, because once Americans get it they won't want to give it up. And therefore the Republicans need it to fail, the more spectacularly the better. All crocodile tears about those who don't get to keep their policies aside, if the train were going to go off the rails, the Republicans would be greasing the track, not leaning on the brakes.
This is just where politics in America is at today, and concerns about how to minimize injury to people don't enter it other than as window dressing.
"And economically, the US hasn't done much to recover since the recession. It's worth noting here that doing nothing leads to a quicker recovery than what we're seeing in the US. Partly, it's Keynesian economics poorly applied and partly it's an administration more intent on ideology than economic recovery."

Yes, but after all, had the website worked well, the Republicans would have been 100% behind the ACA. But its rough rollout just broke their little hearts.
Slept through physics class I see. Doesn't stop you from gracing us all with your opinion. Perhaps you could explain string theory and dark matter while you're on a roll.
Amazing how those who look at the mass of evidence regarding AGW and call it chicken little panic, but then accept the handwaving blue sky predictions of doom if we address AGW economic catastrophe generated by a group of economists as though it came down Mt Sinai on stone tablets.
Yeah, people who took Time and Newsweek seriously for science news. As many of us innocents did back then. The working climatogist community didn't get too excited about imminent global cooling.
Basically, it's too much trouble to try and steer away from the wall until we actually hit it. And since we haven't killed ourselves running into a wall so far, we're certain that we won't in the future.

Yes if only the website would have worked ok on day one so that the republicans could have endorsed the ACA with full faith.
Don't care about getting insurance if the website sucks.

That's exactly what I told Bill Gates, and look how far he went.

As I've seen it explained, China is a country pretty similar to the US; plus a couple of billion subsistence farmers.
