Hillary would garnish wages...

... to fund healthcare.  The ignorant yawn:

Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday she might be willing to garnish the wages of workers who refuse to buy health insurance to achieve coverage for all Americans.

The New York senator has criticized presidential rival Barack Obama for pushing a health plan that would not require universal coverage. Clinton has not always specified the enforcement measures she would embrace, but when pressed on ABC's "This Week," she said: "I think there are a number of mechanisms" that are possible, including "going after people's wages, automatic enrollment."

Clinton said such measures would apply only to workers who can afford health coverage but refuse to buy it, which puts undue pressure on hospitals and emergency rooms. With her proposals for subsidies, she said, "it will be affordable for everyone."

Tom Elia at The New Editor takes us back to another of Hillary's quotes from some time ago.  The ignorant yawned then too:

Remember back in the 1990s when critics of Hillary Clinton's health care plan claimed it would place an undue burden on small business?

How about Ms. Clinton's famous response to such criticism?

"I can't go out and save every undercapitalized entrepreneur in America."

These kinds of statements do make McCain look a tad better. 

A tad.
