2542.\\ Value Proposition

Mr. Sowell has entered the building. And with him comes an overall elevation of the intellectual discourse of the day.

Best bit:

"Since the only resources that the government has are the resources it takes from the private sector, using those resources to create jobs means reducing the resources available to create jobs in the private sector."

Which is why government is almost never the answer to any problem involving the market.

2525.\\ The Health Bill is a Massive Tax

"The so-called "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" in fact will make access to health insurance more expensive and less useful, and will also render the care provided by insurance less effective, more risky, and more expensive by taxing the production of new capital goods. The taxation approach taken by Senate Democrats is a purely foolish method of funding regulations that are themselves horrible."

Thanks Ludwig von Mises.

Left unsaid: It is a method for funding regulations that establish government control of your health. I've seen this movie before, it was called Logan's Run.
