Lonsberry on Healthcare

Yet another voice of REASON in the era of 'Hope and Change':

THE SHOT HEARD ROUND THE WORLD
Written March 22, 2010

Must be the Democrats don’t know history.

At least they don’t know the significance of March 22.

History will show that it was on March 22 that the Democrats pushed health-care reform through the United States House of Representatives.

History also shows that it was on March 22 that the Whigs pushed the Stamp Act through the British Parliament.

The one, in 1765, was the spark that started the American Revolution. The other, in 2010, may well be the spark that starts the Second American Revolution.

Because last night’s victory was one of politics over people, it was the shrill, extreme ambition of a minority forced upon an angry and disenchanted majority. It was also a fundamental change, the creation of an entitlement that sabotages both the stability and the ideology of the Unites States.

It was suicide in the name of progress.

First, the practical.

Democrat health-care reform is built upon a paradigm of impossibility. It claims to decrease cost by increasing coverage. It promises more people a spot at the trough while simultaneously pledging to put less in the trough.

Crooked numbers, fudged for PR purposes, claim health-care reform will reduce the federal deficit. Somehow, in Washington, spending a trillion dollars in a decade constitutes saving money.

It will never happen....

You KNOW there is more. Here.
