Ted Cruz Quote That Explains It All
SEN. TED CRUZ, R-TX (8/1/2013): The Obama administration's plan is very simple. It is to get as many Americans as possible addicted to the subsidies, addicted to the sugar, because they know the simple fact that in modern times, no major entitlement has ever gone into effect and then been undone.
Jon Stewart:Right. But the sugar in your metaphor is, in this case, health insurance something that can literally battle the effects of too much sugar. You know how America is with entitlements, it's like crack to us. You give us one small taste of Social Security, and suddenly we're all sucking the glass tit of not having our old people freeze to death and live off cat food. (wild audience cheering and applause) So that's it. I don't understand any of this. You're protecting America from this terrible Obamacare plan that once we get a taste of, we'll never want to be without. You only win if the program fails. Obamacare is your Springtime for Hitler. It turns out the Republicans aren't afraid we're all going to get finger-banged by a puppet Uncle Sam. They're afraid we gonna like it! (audience laughter and applause) We'll be right back.
