In the end the Supreme Court of the United States didn’t untie the Gordian Knot, but as Alexander had done, they cut it instead.
And by doing so they demonstrated what we have known all along: The only new ideas Democrats-and D.C. bureaucrats- have are the old ideas of finding new ways to tax Americans and creating new bureaucracies to spend that money.
I won’t read the Obamacare opinion. I’ll leave that to legal scholars.
But I know this.
A tax is a tax is a tax.
Obamcare, when shorn of its Euro-Metro sophistication, is a tax.
A really big, fat, ugly tax, with a really big, fat, ugly bureaucracy attached to it.
Thus the Democrats- and D.C. bureaucrats- have created a system that promises to raise taxes on everyone. And still not make healthcare affordable for all.
Why did they do this? Not to “save” healthcare; nor yet to “reform” it.
As I have said before, no one in D.C. gets paid to solve problems. That would give lobbyists nothing to do.
Instead, we have just created another pot of money that can be used for cronies, anti-capitalists and special interests to keep D.C. as the one major metropolitan area where home prices are steady.
