1. When you put limits on what a business can charge for a particular service, that same business will find the lost money some other way.
(limits on things like overdraft fees at the bank – more fees in general for low balance clients)
2. When you choose the “I was told by an expert that X would be absolutely safe” excuse – you’re a moron without an inch of leadership potential.
(Obama ok’d drilling because he was told by experts that it was “absolutely safe”)
UPDATE: From Peggy Noonan
The president said he had consulted among others “experts in academia” on what to do about the calamity. This while noting, again, that his energy secretary has a Nobel Prize. There is a growing meme that Mr. Obama is too impressed by credentialism, by the meritocracy, by those who hold forth in the faculty lounge, and too strongly identifies with them. He should be more impressed by those with real-world experience. It was the “small people” in the shrimp boats who laid the boom
3. When you suggest that a mandated handover of money from individuals to the government is not a tax and then must argue in court that it IS a tax to avoid a lawsuit, your next problem is going to be the whole unfairness of only “taxing” those without insurance.
(Obama swearing up one end and down the other that mandating that individuals buy health insurance is not a tax is now having to argue it is a tax so that states can’t get in the way of the feds ability to “collect taxes”.
Heard recently from a friend that is a physician that many doctors are deciding to go into less insurance driven fields by next year to avoid dealing with Obamacare. Going into botox, elective procedures and/or consulting. I think we are headed for an amazing and scary crises of no one willing to be a doctor under Obama.
