From Kausfiles:
I still haven't heard a convincing argument against the Sudden Victory strategy (in which the House passes the Senate health care bill, fixes it later). ... President Clinton endorsed (and signed) the 1996 welfare reform while pledging to correct its excesses (notably its harsh treatment of legal immigrants). .... in fact Clinton was largely successful in going back and fixing the problems he identified, if I remember. ...
Rejoinder:
1. Basically, that bill was wildly popular. The health bill no longer is.
2. The welfare bill needed minor tweaks. This needs big ones.
3. The welfare bill was relatively simple, thus easy to fix. The health bill is very complex. It can't be fixed.
4. Clinton and old-line Dems were competent. Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Coakley (that’s right, diss Catholics, truck owners and Red Sox fans in Massachusetts!) are incompetent.
