Linda’s grandmother, a Missouri Democrat and Harry Truman campaign worker, used to say that a Republican couldn’t enjoy a meal unless he knew somebody somewhere was starving.
I thought of Willa Wingo today when the House approved the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. The bill would deny or reduce medical coverage to millions of Americans, meanwhile giving a break to the richest Americans. The representatives are proud of what they did.
Recently Linda and I were having lunch in a restaurant and overheard the man at the next table say to his companions, in all seriousness, “The problem with liberals is that they care about other people.”
Is that really a problem?
