Modern liberalism has just two problems: It ignores, or is ignorant of, (1) the laws of economics, and (2) the will of the voters. Other than that, it’s all good.
Exhibit number one is Obamacare. We were told that it was necessary to “bend the curve” down and reduce health care costs. No one bought that argument at the time, and even the government’s own Medicare Chief Actuary Richard Foster admits that isn’t true: When asked point blank by Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA) of the House Budget Committee if it were true that Obamacare would reduce medical costs, Foster answered, “I would say false.” As for the will of the voters, how many elections do Democrats have to lose before they get the message that the American people don’t want government controlling 1/6th of our economy? Put it this way, if Scott Brown couldn’t bear that message, it can’t be borne.
