What's in a name?

Post by _MeDotOrg »

If we call the Affordable Health Care Act 'Obamacare', why don't we call Social Security 'FDRCare" and Medicare 'LBJCare'? It's horrible that these failed Democratic initiatives do not bear the name (or the initials) of the evil men that foisted them upon our poor, unsuspecting country. And I certainly don't think it's fair that Republicans are unfairly associated with these failed Democratic programs of the past that they fought so valiantly against.
