Why I don’t like Obamacare

Not just because of the 22 tax increases (12 of them hitting the middle class)  it will bring us starting next year. Or the consequently lower chances of reducing unemployment and a return to pre-2008 prosperity anytime soon.

But because, fundamentally, Obamacare is a Leftist fraud that will not save money nor increase fairness but only raise costs and reduce choices, which will screw the poor and most of the rest of us as well.

“Pretty much wherever government has asserted the old Progressive/New Deal/Great Society need for total control of some segment of the society or economy, the ground has been sown with salt.” —James DeLong in Ending Big SIS (the Special Interest State).

More here from DeLong in a good interview on Reason TV.

It was obvious this power-grab of one-third of the economy was only going to prolong hard economic times even before the toady chief justice joined the lockstep liberals in declaring Obamacare A-OK with the constitution.
