We have been watching the progress of Obamacare with trepidation. The idea that the state will take over one sixth of the American economy, in addition to the auto industry, financial institutions, etc., is terrifying to those who value American political principles.
Thankfully Obamacare is running into some roadblocks. It is doubtful that they will be sufficiently strong to stop Obamacare given the Democrats control of the White House, Congress, and media.
It is shameful that the Democrats tried to ram Obamacare through without debate. That is not how major proposals are supposed to be passed in the United States. It is how things happen in absolutist states.
Obama and his allies’ efforts to force through Obamacare reveals the heart of the matter. It is genius. Obamacare has nothing to do with health care or helping people. It is everything to do with increasing state control over the economy, restricting freedoms, further distancing the American people from their political principles, subsidizing illegal immigration, perpetuating an expanding welfare state.
Cloaking a socialist agenda under the guise of “helping people” and solving a “crisis” which does not exist, is brilliant. Some people are on to the agenda, and have slowed it down. They have not stopped it. And the Democrats have until November 2010 to pass it, whatever its final form may be.
Additionally, it is a long way to the midterm elections, and the passions kindled in the summer of 2009 may have cooled by the fall of 2010.
