ON FAILURE - OBAMA'S AND AMERICA'S
I don't like the current process of the decision and bill making. It is dishonest and hasty. In the military, when things go wrong, it's because many small problems or deviations from standards became the norm. Once you get organizations back to following the rules, it's amazing how many problems just go away. In this case, I think it's rational to vigorously point out and insist that the rules be followed. I also think citizens should actually have a chance to weigh in when fundamental changes in the contract between citizen and government are proposed. That isn't happening with these massive bills. It's the wrong fight to get into as to whether conservatives want the elected government to fail. You pointed out in your post as to where that leads. Instead, the loyal opposition can insist on clean governance and can spend efforts on making the bill making efforts as transparent as possible. They can point out that the rule of law requires all to be treated equally. No more it's ok for me, but illegal for you... tax paying, school choice, "green" taxes, are examples readily coming to mind.
