Paying $2 for $ 3 of government is a great deal.

The money for political races largely come from the Parasitical Class of Moocher-hideen: the public employee unions, the lobbies, the military contractors, the agribusiness companies – and is overwhelmingly in favor of expansion of government. Yes, there is some money from lots of individuals worried about immorality, homosexuals, abortions – but the “traditionalists” are comfortable with Wars in Afghanistan, more F-22’s, and ethanol mandates. Industry associations such as builders and realtors want to keep mortgages cheap and subsidized with additional tax breaks. The money in politics overwhelmingly favors the “expand government” politicians.

Then you have the polls. What people SEE are benefits like Social Security to granny, public schools, government roads, Medicare. What is NOT SEEN includes deficits, those items not offered (like private insurance), inflated money, distant wars fought by mercenaries, and restrictions on freedom.

Hence, the Republicans come out with their holy PLEDGE and simultaneously vote for 4 pieces of unconstitutional expansion of government such as the “Emergency Medic Transition Act of 2010”. Democrats hope that HealthCare will be so addictive to enough people that Congress will never dare to touch it (e.g. another sacred-cow “Third Rail” as in Social Security).
