Barack Obama read the actual GOP agenda to a roaring Atlanta crowd Wednesday: a $1 trillion tax cut for millionaires and billionaires, paid for with higher health care costs and Medicaid cuts. Plus a war in Iran that everyone warned would push prices up. “(Democrats will) ban hamburgers and make everybody eat tofu,” he joked.
This is certainly not the only baseless assertion one hears today. I love this one: Democrats will bring you the freedom of North Korea and the affluence of Cuba.  I suppose this is what happens in political rhetoric, especially when it’s addressed to our country’s least educated people.
In actual fact, Democrats, if empowered to do so, will bring you the affluence, healthcare, and education level of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, New Zealand, Iceland, Costa Rica, and the rest of the world’s social democracies.
