Geee Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 American Spectator: am slightly grateful for Obamacare. It’s not going to cause a 21st Century Great Awakening toward the perils of Leviathan government. If history is a guide, any such increase in citizens’ focus on the harm done by politicians will likely be temporary, given Americans’ short memories in the face of claimed good intentions and free lunches. But for today, disapproval of Obamacare is at its highest in a least a year, with the number one reason, according to Gallup, being “government interference.” Price increases come in a distant second. Maybe all is not lost. Every once in a while — a long while, to be sure — government does something so large, so obvious, and so harmful, that it kindles some interest, perhaps even indignation, among the most unaware and incurious among us — not surprisingly strongholds of Democrat support — including soccer moms and college students and young adults living through Obamacare-caused unemployment in their parents’ basements (while, according to President Obama, blissfully appreciative of being on their parents’ health insurance plans). Obamacare has changed that, even if it creates only a brief opening in what will inevitably be the shutting door of American anger as voters’ passivity is purchased with other people’s money.
