Episode 79: USSA, Cut the Plantation Baloney
Lily: Oops. A little typo in the title there. (Shoots an arrow to the extra S)
Timeus: Plantation baloney? Oh. Still making cuts, eh? You'll never cut all that fat in one episode. Let's cut to the vacation. Boxer's TKO'd. Again. Opportune moment for a getaway.
Lily: OK. I'm almost ready. Just sweeping out the revised history from the plantation melodrama.
Olam: The President says the GOP has to come up with more than "no, no, no" to all his foundational changes. But the GOP, the Constitution and the American majority have all countered with alternatives. Those alternatives simply don't include Big Socialist Government. So he can't hear them.
Lady Liberty: I checked out the stats on that. American Health care is the best in the world on most measures: cancer survival rates, waiting period for treatement, scanning equipment available, neonatal, intensive care unit beds per 100,000, percentage of people getting checkups, percentage of seniors with low incomes reporting excellent health. We beat out Canada and Britain on all those points.
Olam: Perhaps that's the problem. We have simply outperformed the world on all measures and our economy must be levelled by the socialist workers' world so that we share equal outcomes in poor health and poverty. Remember: it's all about unequal means to equal outcomes. Except for the overlords who reap the redistribution.
Link: I guess one man's progressivism is another man's reactionary move backwards to tyranny. So you might better keep the vacation part quiet and holler to the plantation master at the little red, white and blue hen house:
"Oh, Br'er Fox, please don't throw me out on my own! I'd have to fend for myself. Pleeeease, Br'er Fox, do me proud, and care for me cradle to grave! Anything, anything, Br'er Fox, just don't let me venture out into that big, wide, scary world with nothing but a torch of liberty at hand and the shadow of the Almighty behind me! Pleeeease!"
