Road to Hell Paved With Libs’ Noble Intentions

For once, a liberal experiment, ObamaCare, is being immediately exposed for its unintended consequences. ObamaCare’s intent is noble, but it turns out to be just another wealth-transfer program. Usually it takes decades for liberal programs to affect their destructive consequences; ObamaCare’s unintended consequences are already happening. Now everyday folks will realize the importance of politics. Get the politics wrong and your country ends up in the dustbin of history.

Runaway welfare schemes are robbing people of their dignity while doing little to alleviate poverty.

At some point, Obama and his fellow progressives need to be judged by the effects of their policies, not the grandiosity of their self-congratulatory rhetoric.

It’s often said that there is nothing compassionate about being charitable with other people’s money. It’s not said often enough that arrogant liberal experiments in forced “fairness” are actually cruel because they completely destroy wealth and prosperity and greatly harm the people they promise to benefit.

Liberals are all for helping the poor and they paint conservatives as being indifferent to the poor. The difference is that conservatives know there 
is no free lunch, whereas liberals believe in free lunches and never look at the unintended consequences of their feel-good programs. Free lunches sound great to the uninformed, hence liberals win many elections where the uninformed are concentrated.
