ACA (Obamacare) and the Great Right Wing Dupe

Nice blog entry by Brad DeLong.

I especially like this part:

If, say, Ezra Klein had been writing this article in the rhetorical style he worked in before he went to the Washington Post, the article would have ended with three antepenultimate, penultimate, and ultimate paragraphs that were long, cruel, and biting dissections of
  • The false consciousness of the Tea Party in rural Georgia, about how their Fear of the Black President keeps people like Donald Rizen voting for politicians like Nathan Deal and the Republican legislators of Georgia who work hard to #@#&^ them over, and for politicians like Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush who appoint Supreme Court justices like Roberts, C.J., and the Four Horsemen who #@#&^ them over.
  • The immorality of a Republican Party that #@#& people like Donald Rizen over and then lies to them about what they are doing and what the Democrats are doing.
  • The pathetic nature of a press corps that does not connect the dots and explain what is really going on here.

Truth.
