To Smarties, Details Don’t Matter

The really strange thing is I’m still not sure most lefties really know or can articulate why they think it’s so important to pass this ‘healthcare reform’ thing they’re working on. I’ve already pointed out how the arguments they keep giving are utterly backwards and make no sense on their own terms. I’m still waiting to learn how the middle class being taxed more and fined for health care is supposed to be a solution to the problem ‘health care is too expensive for you’.

At this point it seems to just boil down to this:

• President Obama needs an accomplishment
• This is a big/giant/sweeping bill
• That would count as an ‘accomplishment’, regardless of details

If I’m right this is nothing more than classic Smart People behavior. Obama (with his fans/syncophants helping) is working on a Class Project and wants to finish it for the Extra Credit this would bring him. Details of the Class Project don’t really matter as long as it meets the Assignment (‘pass healthcare reform’). If something-or-other that could be termed ‘healthcare reform’ were passed, then he could put a bullet-point labeled ‘passed healthcare reform’ on his College Transcript. And that’s about all there is to it.

Because details don’t matter.

SMART.
