When The Mask Slips
Mr. Cassidy is more honest than the politicians whose dishonesty he supports. “The U.S. government is making a costly and open-ended commitment,” he writes. “Let’s not pretend that it isn’t a big deal, or that it will be self-financing, or that it will work out exactly as planned. It won’t. What is really unfolding, I suspect, is the scenario that many conservatives feared. The Obama Administration . . . is creating a new entitlement program, which, once established, will be virtually impossible to rescind.”
Why are they doing it? Because, according to Mr. Cassidy, ObamaCare serves the twin goals of “making the United States a more equitable country” and furthering the Democrats’ “political calculus.” In other words, the purpose is to further redistribute income by putting health care further under government control, and in the process making the middle class more dependent on government. As the party of government, Democrats will benefit over the long run.
On top of that, they create a vast, new bureaucracy to run the program that they themselves are actually exempt from. That wealth of government functionaries becomes yet another power base for the Democrats.
That is really what this is all about. Not the health and welfare of the people of the United States.
The health and welfare of the Democrats.
Start calling folks. This is an economy killer as well as a liberty destroyer.

The “governing classes,” as I call those who work in the web of government bureaucracy, education, and so-called non-government, non-profit organizations, are the new aristrocracy, propped up and abetted by the force of government as any erstwhile dukedom.
The maintenance of this class in their non-productive activities sweetened with the glaze of petty dictatorship from sea to sea is the real purpose of the left wing. They don’t give a damn about you. You, by the way, is everybody else.
