If our national debate were about a national transportation plan
and Congress mandated that all individuals buy a vehicle, would anyone look at it any differently than they do now at the individual mandate for health insurance?
1. The GOP would demand that the "vehicle" be a horse and hay wagon
Of course, the wagons would have to be manufactured by defense contractors and the horses bred by mega-agrabusiness companies. All those companies would obviously need huge tax cuts and bailout plans.
