who'd-a-believed: Sound and Fury - Barrons.com

Sadly, the Democrats rather fit the saying "who'd-a-believed?". In other words, who'd-a-believed when you give away the store that the store ends up empty (or, as Michigan found out with too many unions and too many taxes, who'd-a-believed that businesses would leave?).

Not to let the religious right of the Republicans off the hook either because they were of the bent that who'd-a-believed that if you preach hate and religious prescription that suddenly the immigration wall they want drives businesses to locate out of the US, etc.

And a question of the moment would seem to hang on who-will-believe that the US can really reign in entitlement spending?

(To wit, I've yet to read in the press the question in response to keeping Medicare in its current form, as wished by Mr. Obama, anyone ask whether history shows that bureaucrats actually make more progress than the private sector? Medicare is healthcare from the late 1960's. Private insurance has tried to survive mandates and added taxes to come up with options (too few because of legislation). Medicare clearly needs reform and the last big chance to do that with the Obama-Pelosi axis showed that government really doesn't have the heart to do it.)
