Texas Governor and man who claims to specialize in reading picture books - Rick Perry - recently said this with regard to turning down the federal government's offer to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act:
"It's like putting 1,000 more people on the Titanic when you knew what was going to happen."
So, was Mr. Perry alive during the time of the Titanic and did he have a psychic vision of the tragedy? Does he hold a similar psychic vision of expanding Medicaid in Texas? It's quite the "special" vision for an individual to see a striking similarity between poor people being able to acquire healthcare which could potentially save their lives to a shipwreck which cost 1,500 people their lives.
While he's at it, Perry may want to make the following comparisons:
- "What? Give money to charity? That'd be like putting a million more Jews in front of Nazis during the Holocaust!"
- "Collect a bunch of toys to give to kids over Christmas? I don't know about that. Something sounds fishy there. I mean, if we're going to do that, we might as well have put 2,000 more people in the Twin Towers on 9/11!"
- "Allow poor people to get treatment when they're sick or aching without the fear of going bankrupt? That'd be almost as bad as making me president! Wait... Yeah, I think that's right..."
