Charles Schumer: Passing Obamacare Instead of Dealing With the Recession Was a Mistake

"After passing the stimulus, Democrats should have continued to propose middle-class-oriented programs and built on the partial success of the stimulus, but unfortunately Democrats blew the opportunity the American people gave them," New York Senator Charles Schumer said.
"We took their mandate and put all of our focus on the wrong problem—health care reform."
The third-ranking Senate Democrat noted that just about 5 percent of registered voters in the United States lacked health insurance before the implementation of the law, arguing that to focus on a problem affecting such "a small percentage of the electoral made no political sense."
The larger problem, affecting most Americans, he said, was a poor economy resulting from the recession. "When Democrats focused on health care, the average middle-class person thought, 'The Democrats aren't paying enough attention to me,' " Schumer said.
The health care law should have come later, Schumer argued, after Democrats had passed legislation to help the middle class weather the recession. Had Democrats pushed economic legislation, he said, "the middle class would have been more receptive to the idea."

Damn, what's up with truth and reconciliation from Chuckie? Was he recently diagnosed with cancer and feels he can now spill the beans?

Listened to this on CSPAN earlier. One of the few times that Schumer's actually made sense.
I think that the impetus for this may be Gruber saying that Schumer doesn’t understand economics. So he gives a speech about economics and the middle class and takes a shot at Obamacare.

Schumer must be a fucking retard. It took him 5 years to figure out the obvious.
