Grover Norquist on Ed Schultz's show
Grover "Drown the government in the bathtub" Norquist appeared on Ed Schutlz's show on the 30th.
I'm kind of tight on time, but I want to point something out here about Norquist's debate style. As soon as Ed asks him what the GOP plan is for healthcare, he starts throwing out a bunch of buzzwords immediately. "Billionaire trial lawyers" that have "made it difficult for rural people"; in fact I think he says "trial lawyers" four times within the first minute and half.
Though Ed has the last laugh, pointing out that less than 1% of healthcare costs are due to torts.
Setting up rural America against those big-city lawyers. It's reverse populism gone wrong. It seems to me there will always be millionaire tycoons like Norquist out there trying to get poor people to be against their own economic interests. I just want to know, how long exactly will that scheme last?

Not to mention the tort reform passed here in Georgia by Sonny a few years ago has done absolutely nothing to drive down health care costs. Indeed, all that happened was the savings were pocketed and all of our rates still went up.
