How the Government Fixes Broken Things

Hey, I have a great idea.  Let's find an industry that needs fixing.  We will pass special law(s) to fix this industry.  What should the main point of the new law be to fix this?  I know, let's make everyone buy the product from the industry that needs fixing!  Then we will... whaaattt?

That is exactly what happened with "Health Care Reform." We all know now that Health Care Reform was really health insurance reform, because the health care system was not what needed "fixed" but the insurance was.  A lot of folks just wanted to expand the broken Medicare system.  That did not fly, but they did mandate everyone to have to buy health insurance.  This is already found unconstitutional, but the federal government gets to continue with this welfare bailout of insurance companies mandate while the case is being appealed to the Supreme Court.  On the flip-side it is opposite of any Federal Cases involving States Laws that are found unconstitutional by lower courts when they were unconstitutionally challenged according to the 11th amendment by the US Justice Department.

In case you do not remember the 11th Ammendment: "The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State."

Just remember this logic - when you need to fix something-the first step the government does is it orders the citizens to buy an broken product.

Whatever you do - stay safe!
