Cash for Cluckers

Republicans remain tone death to the wishes of the American
people while sticking slavishly to their talking points. Rep. Jeb
Hensarling (R-Texas) uttered his “Cash of Cluckers” knee
slapper http://uhiamo.notlong.com (hailed by the Illinois Review
as “a clear articulation of the conservative view”) with total dis-
regard for the popularity of the plan. The Texas delegation is
also foursquare opposed to national healthcare even as Texas
leads the nation in uninsured. It is alarming that even when
something appears a “no-brainer” Republicans, and especially
Texas Republicans, continue to exhibit an alarming lack of gray
matter.
