Obamacare made me think of Vietnam in another way: didn’t the heavily Democratic Congress refuse to fund America’s obligations to South Vietnam under the January 1973 Paris peace treaty? wasn’t that “settled law?” I never heard anyone else mention this. Maybe I am wrong.
Yes, the Democrat Congress, led by Ted Kennedy and others, refused to honor our obligations to the South Vietnamese. President Ford all but begged Congress not to turn it’s back, to no avail.
Even with that, the SVN bravely hung on for another year, but were finally crushed by the communist onslaught. The death of millions in the killing fields was the final result of the Democrats treason.
