Government is good at one thing: It knows how to break your legs, hand you a crutch, and say "See, if it weren't for the government, you wouldn't be able to walk." - Harry Browne

DEBT TRAP

Government spending creates several forms of dependency. One is the individual dependency of welfare recipients that this article observes. The other, more ominous, is the economic dependency that most countries in Western Civilization are trapped in. Once you have built too much economic dependency on government spending it becomes painful to cut spending since it creates immediate economic contraction, so the only option politically palatable is to keep on spending. So governments spend at an increasing rate even as the private sector shrinks in relative size. This goes on until it can’t any longer, and governments (and economies) fail right when dependency peaks. I have to ask, what is safe about the whole "safety net" when it becomes a snare with no way out? The"fiscal cliff” that the press is wringing its hands about is evidence we are stuck in the debt trap with no easy way out. When our politicians must pick between depression now or worse later, they always pick the second option.

EXPOSING BIG MEDICINE

This article is a must read and especially for those sceptical of the necessity for free market reforms in medicine. To dissentangle medicine from government is to begin to uncorrupt it and remove barriers to competition. Even my browzer tried to keep me from going to the clinic's website (www.surgerycenterok.com/pricing.php) to view their pricing. Obamacare puts a freeze on any more clinics like this being allowed, so don't buy the lie that it encourages competition. Here is the article:

Questioning Obamacare

Does anyone remember the fiscal cliff?
If it’s so good for the little guy, how come big medicine is lobbying so hard for it?
If it’s so good for the little guy, how come big insurance is lobbying for it?
If its such great law, how come all of Obama’s buddies are exempted from it?
If it’s so good for us, how come Congress exempted themselves from it?
When has the government been even close in projecting the cost of one of its programs?
How can medical service be improved by adding 16,000 IRS agents and an untold number of bureaucrats?
How will adding numerous government employees to the patient-doctor relationship make it cheaper?
If they have to economize, whose pay will get cut, the government employees, or the doctors and hospitals?
How will that impact Idaho’s doctor shortage?
When it doesn’t work, how many more bureaucrats will they hire to fix it?
If Sebelius has unlimited ability to add to the 2,700 pages already written, how many more will she add?
Is she god?
If this is being administered by Federal employees, is it written in 6th grade English?
Who the heck wrote it?
Who makes the most off it?
Any drugs involved here?

Devil is in the Details in Employment

How many jobs added were part time? More importantly, how many jobs were in government? How many were temporary? Where is the seasonal adjustment? Our economy has too many government and service sector jobs already, has factory production gone up or are we getting farther from equilibrium? Have we really grown the private sector job market? Why is the U6 unemployment rate high and unchanged? What is happening in Total Employment? The devil is always in the details.

Obamacare Flowchart

How can adding the following help contain out-of-control costs in medicine? "As this graphic shows, the new law creates 68 grant programs, 47 bureaucratic entities, 29 demonstration or pilot programs, 6 regulatory systems, 6 compliance standards and 2 entitlements." If we also take into account government's track record on projecting costs, it is ludicrous to expect the costs to be as low as they claim. Medicare, for instance, was about ten times as expensive as projected in 1967. As we make medicine just another branch of government we will destroy accountability, costs control, the doctor-patient relationship, and any chance of meaningful and necessary reforms in medicine.

Beware of"Robin Hood”

One cornerstone of justice is equal standing before the law. It is symbolized in the statue of a blindfolded lady justice holding a set of scales. Almost nothing should matter but the act in a truly just system--not how rich you are, not the color of your skin, not your religion, not whether you helped write the legislation—just the act. And justice is largely blinded to the rest (with exception to intent, which is really part of the act). Obamacare fails in this regard. Well over a thousand waivers have been granted to the"politically well connected” since the law was written. Of course, one reason the law is 2,700 pages long is to carefully delineate winners and losers, so if they had just been a little more thorough the waivers would be unnecessary. But whether a law is inherently unjust or is applied unjustly is irrelevant. In either case the system is being abused and therefore people are being abused. It can be generally observed that it is those without a lot of political clout that always suffer and the winners are those who have both a presence and money in DC.

With government involvement in medicine over the last hundred years came restrictions on competition, protectionism and even mandated treatments. As economist Milton Friedman predicted in 1961, costs went up and quality suffered. Obamacare capitalizes on these problems and uses them as the excuse to concentrate more power and control, and those hurt the most in the long run are the poor. As the system becomes less and less functional, the poor will not have the resources to buy their way around waiting lines and treatment restrictions. Beware the government that pretends to be Robin Hood, since it is Prince John that has always been behind the mask when it is lifted.

Ranchers The Threatened Specie

With the media whipping up outrage over this removal of a wolf-pack that adapted to eating beef, it is the western rancher that will lose his profit margin and therefor his livelihood if things don't change soon. To wipe out the average business you just need to reduce revenue or add to expenses by a relatively small amount and it is no longer a viable business. Wolves do this to many western ranchers. With Forest Service leases that once providing high quality forage no longer a safe place to feed cattle, the rancher's cost of production goes up significantly. Even private land in rural areas loses its value as range. The implications for the rest of the rural west are that our economy is damaged. When our ranchers thrive we all benefit, whether the money they make recharges our local economies, or their low cost of production helps keep the cost of food lower, the benefits ripple out from every successful rural business. Even more important, however, is the fact that their ability to pursue their hopes and dreams, to feed their children, to bless their neighbors all goes out the window because of the success of this strategy to use this non-resident wild dog transplanted from northern Canada. The resident animal that had been here had very different packing instincts, was not as large, was more reclusive, and was simply not doing the economic or ecological damage that this imported wolf is doing.
