Lies, damned lies and the health care debate
The faux victim stories are making the rounds in the press. And just like all those jobs "saved or created" by Obama, no one can really point to a specific job but everyone has "estimates". And, of course, it is usually some poor, orphaned, Hispanic, black waif who fought in Iraq that suffers the most.
Never mind that careful analysis says those guesses are wrong:
Obamacare is predicated on the assumption that the federal government has the knowledge, capacity, and will to drive greater efficiency in American health care. Inadvertently, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has become an articulate spokesman for why that assumption is dead wrong.
We must press forward even if it kills us! And it probably will, too. Once our economy has been ruined by punitive taxes and our infrastructure destroyed by incorrect "priorities" we'll be left with little to rebuild with.
And that assumes that a majority of the population that voted itself into slavery will want out.
The Democrats may be evil, but they are not stupid. They've realized that they can't bully people into a plantation/segregated life but they can trick them into it. All the talk of the benevolent government taking care of all of your needs and protecting you from imagined enemies smacks of the stories that plantation masters used to tell their slaves. Only this time the slaves are eagerly lining up and volunteering to be enslaved.
Sadly, it has only taken a generation to get us here. It will take far longer to recover from the damage Democrat policies are going to cause. And it's not going to be pretty, either. Economic chains of the new slavery are just as confining as the iron chains of old slavery.
