Gibbons and Burns:Go shopping for a clue on health care reform

“The federal government has no right to tell state residents that they have to go out and buy something,” said Dan Burns, Gibbons’ spokesman.
Oh, but Dan, this is how it works! Don’t you remember, just two weeks after September 11th, we were all encouraged to go shopping by our Most Delusional Leader?
