Palin / Reagan / Medicare Mashup
October 5, 2008 – 12:44 amIgor Volsky’s got the video mash-up of Sarah Palin sampling Ronald Reagan’s dire 1961 prediction that Medicare would put us on the road to serfdom, followed by Reagan discussing the issue:
It’s worth being reminded now and again that conservatives really believed this stuff. That Medicare would lead to the eradication of freedom. That the Civil Rights Act was a horrible abridgment of American liberty. That withdrawal from Vietnam would lead to Soviet global domination. That Bill Clinton’s 1993 budget would destroy the economy. And that the people responsible for those — Reagan, Goldwater, Gingrich, etc. — ideas are heroes to be admired.
