215.3 - Clown Award: Jeb Bush

Clown Award: Jeb Bush

A quick side trip to hand out a Clown Award, given as always for meritorious stupidity.

And while this seems like shooting a very big fish in a very small barrel, it is just so appropriate right here that this week I just have to give the Big Red Nose to Jeb Bush.

Speaking at an Americans for Prosperity event in Manchester, New Hampshire, recently, Jeb "Please don't anybody remember my last name 'cause I want you to forget I'm connected to that loser" said that "we need to figure out a way to phase out this program" - that is, Medicare - for those not yet in the system "and move to a new system."

Jeb Bush
Jd this while praising Rep. Paul Rantin's proposal, which would replace Medicare with vouchers to help pay the premium for whichever health plan a particular individual choose from a menu of private plans.

That is, the Jeb-man wants to get rid of Medicare and replace it with a system of government subsidies for purchase of private insurance from a selected group.

Um, Jeb - isn't that, essentially, Obamacare?

Jeb "As-Big-a-Loser-as-His-Brother" Bush. What a clown.
