Why Can't We Learn from Failure
As the president goes full-force to destroying the most successful and well-run policy program in the history of the United States, let's reflect on that age-old question: Why can't Americans learn from the successes and failures of experiments in other countries? We "debated" health-care reform without considering the success of Canada. We erode environmental regulations without considering the high number of birth defects in Mexico. We launch an invasion and occupation of a former colonial nation without a strategy to deal with insurgents nor an exit strategy (wait, that's our own mistake we can't learn from).
And we consider privatizing Social Security without considering that the UK did this 20 years ago and it has been a complete disaster.
