Senator Reid goes to a local GM dealer in Washington DC with the intention of buying a new vehicle. The senator looks around and finds one that he likes. After going back and forth with the salesman, he settles on a reasonable price. Senator Reid and the salesman go back to the office to complete the paperwork. They finally work out a 4-year payment plan, and he signs on the bottom line. The salesman shakes the senator’s hand and says, “Thanks Senator Reid, the car will be ready for pickup in 4 years.” Senator Reid frowns and replies, “What are you talking about? Where are the keys to my new car?” The salesman calmly replies, “No, you don’t understand Senator. You make payments for 4 years THEN we give you the car.” The senator turns bright red, and yells, “That’s not fair!” The salesman replies without any doubt or embarrassment, “What’s the problem, Senator Reid? It’s no different than your healthcare plan.”
