On the recordOctober 1, 2013
In response to my friend from Vermont, I had the good fortune of spending an hour several months ago with one of the founders of Google. He, with a twinkle in his eye--a young man still--and a big smile, talked about when they were trying to get Google started. They couldn't believe the people who wanted information. Their Web sites kept crashing because so many people wanted the information to which they thought they were entitled. Around America today millions of people, in the first few hours of the opportunity to sign up, rushed and overburdened a number of places--the Web sites. This is good news for America. I also say that these are the same people--I read a direct quote at an event earlier today. I am sorry I don't have it with me. In 1961 Ronald Reagan talked about Medicare. I am paraphrasing, but this is pretty close. If they do not stop Medicare, then his children and his children's children will look back at the day when America used to be free. Can you imagine that?
