In our continuing series "Everyone likes a good reach across" I wanted to discuss yet another ideological compromise that is certain to catch fire shortly. This morning on NPR there was a report out concussive brain injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan. Apparently the Army doctors do a completely awful job at documenting, identifying and treating this type of injury.
My understanding of policy from my right wing brethren is that anything the government doesn't do well should be eliminated (see oil industry regulations). Clearly this is not the only area in the war on terror that we have failed in so with this as our basis for compromise I would like to suggest that we end the war on terror hence eliminating yet another failed government program. Additionally I don't believe congress has considered the pay-go mandate for these wars so this is a sort of two handed reach across.
Suck on that Liberal Media. Chalk up another one for the American People.
