Recently we saw our government’s first effort to give itself another giant pork barrel. How anyone can believe that a new bureaucracy will give us efficient health care is beyond me. What have they ever managed efficiently? Certainly not Social Security, the financial markets or the many wars we are engaged in. But, like Blind Boone, we are going down the road often traveled, giving our government control over our lives and finances. We keep doing it without regard for its dismal record of failures. Unfortunately in this case past performance is indicative of future results. If the Senate does not act with pragmatic wisdom, we are doomed to be a nation of tin cup holders begging for alms from the state.
