Okay, so Megan McCardle compares Dems being obstructionist on social security to Republicans being obstructionist on health care.

Ummmm, no.
The Dems had spent much of the previous years talking about how social security was doomed and yet, when Bush wanted to do something they freaked out. They also really didn't offer any other solutions. They just wanted to stop Bush. They bleated about how evil Bush was going to link it to the stock market (which is obviously much worse than the pyramic scheme it currently is) without offering their own plan.

The GOP has been offering ideas on health care only to be told to go screw. Now that Obama is in trouble he needs some GOP cover so now he wants help.
I can never figure out why she gets links. It must be her economics posts, I don't read those, her political posts are usually equally silly.
H/T, I forget. I saw it a couple places before I clicked because I usually find her posts to be less than persuasive.
