The GOP has a health care refrom plan

So the GOP bill does less that the Democrats bill. Not a good move. Now they go from the party of no ideas to the party of bad ideas. David Frum explains how Republicans have fallen from their perch, and what they can do to change (become Moderates) I don't think this will happen until the leadership changes. It's going to happen the same way that same-sex marriage or legalized pot is going to slowly become accepted and normal. People resist change and resist change, even if the change is good. Then after the change is made and people get used to it and experience how it is better, then it becomes accepted and the new norm.

Oh, and it is in vogue now to pretend that the postwar era (1946 - 1970) didn't happen if you are a Republican arguing economic policy.
