“And the health of all American’s clearly is a public good. Every country in the world believes so except one”

You know what else is a ‘public good’? Food. So let’s have the government buy all our food for us.

Hang on, we need drinks with that. And a place to stay. And transportation. And you can’t give people food, drink, and a place to stay without some entertainment. So how about government-run TV?

And we all know it’s a ‘public good’ to have a job. So let’s all register with job boards and have our career paths planned for us. You know, each according to his abilities and so forth.

How could it possibly go wrong? I mean, we’re not surrounded on all sides by countries that are in a slow death march of unsustainable socialized ‘public good’. Let’s just re-read those false ‘live birth’ statistics (hey, any information given us by the government of Cuba MUST be accurate) and obsess over that within-statistical-error 1 year of life expectancy difference. I mean seriously, with all the problems in the US, there’s no way we could ever become the leader of the free world, have the world’s primary currency, be the world’s leader of charitable donations …

Left-wingers. Listen to them at your own peril.
