Ninety Three: Obama Health Care

I don't pretend to know much about the macro economics of health care. I can't imagine there are more than a handful of people who do. After all, an industry which consumes hundreds of billions of dollars of our national economy by definition is complex beyond human comprehension.

What I do know is that OB and his band of Chicago political animals are making claims which they either know to be false, or have no intelligent reason to believe to be true. In other words, they are lying. What is OB's interest (and when I say "OB" I am referring to him, his administration, and Democrats in general)? The interest is expansion of government. These people don't give a hoot about health care. Why should they? They already have the best coverage and will continue to have it no matter what happens to the rest of us. These people simply want to expand government. It's their business. They want to increase their market share, the same way a utility wants to sell more electricity, or a flower shop wants to sell more flowers.

This is the way it always has been and will always be. The ONLY thing which could possibly slow down this perverse trend is term limits - and of course revolution.
