The perfect illustration of the Utopian liberal mindset, which cannot deal with the real world, but thrills merely to the sound of noble words: From American Thinker
"Behold the words of Donald Berwick -- doctor, Harvard professor, and Obama's nominee to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), arguably the most powerful position in U.S. medicine, directing the flow of almost one trillion dollars a year …
“The only sentiment that exceeds my admiration ... is my hope for the NHS. I hope that you will never, never give up on what you have begun. I hope that you realize and reaffirm how badly you need, how badly the world needs, an example at scale of a health system that is universal, accessible, excellent, and free at the point of care-a health system that is, at its core, like the world we wish we had: generous, hopeful, confident, joyous, and just.”
See, like the world we wish we had – where unicorns frolic and every girl has a pony. Unfortunately, the health care system has to exist in the world we do have – using the resources of reality. We’ll let you figure out how fantasy can be generous, hopeful, confident, joyous and just.
Seneca's Comment ..
H O P E ??? You gotta be freaking kidding me.
Quick somebody get Cato a copy of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" . She spoke to these very things over 50 years ago, but of course she was a kook right? Kook because she actually thought that which was hers was hers.
You see, the Elsworth Tooheys of the world brand me a kook too because I state that mantra, which they see as "Oh so harsh and cold and unfeeling", and they work like subterranean sappers to try and undermine this archetypal statement of the reality of things - the only statement of moral position that does not lead to the very things that the world is experiencing right now.
Take heed all you conservatives out there, so smug in you non-Obamaness and in your hatred of a man with such a black heart directed against America, for you too are just as culpable until you too embrace the creed that:
What's mine is Mine; What's yours is Yours ...and, most important of all ... What's Mine is Not Yours - regardless of how much better a place/use you think you can find for my money than I can.
But NO you will not embrace THAT creed because deep down in the place in you heart where even you are afraid to go - you know that you too are "on the take" and at the trough of government subsidy.
student loan - subsidy
FHA Fannie Mae loan - subsidy
energy tax credit for the new insulation you put in - Subsidy
Scholarship/Pell Grant = Subsidy
Aid to Dependent Children - Subsidy
Habitat for Humanity - Subsidy
Farm Credits - Subsidy
Milk Producers Credits - Subsidy
All stolen from your neighbor, so as to flow to the multitude of pockets just like yours where you can tell yourself that your subsidy is "different", and protesting so loudly when people like me refuse to ratify the sanctity of your "need".
May you all burn in hell and that hell will be right here. Dante's Inferno is not some mythical place - we are staring at its mouth even as I write this.
