Let’s not forget that under Obamacare, the leftist psych establishment will fabricate phoney mental “diagnoses” of mental health problems, leading to higher spending.
For example, “people who don’t have nice things suffer from depression.” Therefore, we need to have higher taxes to give them YOUR nice things.
Notice they never do the obvious conservative-themed study: Having an angry property owner’s short gun in your face also “causes depression.” So choose WHICH ‘depression’ is worse — I say it’s the latter, meaning - Hey, get a job, earn money for your OWN nice things!!!
And what about the “depression” suffered by the taxpayer who is basically looted by the IRS? Why not measure THAT effect as well? They’ll never “go there” -will they?
The leftist psychology profession drive me nuts (no pun intended). They can ‘prove’ just about anything they want, and the socialist policies naturally flow from that they DO decide to demonstrate & correlate, while they ignore what Tom Sowell calls secondary effects.
I just can’t wait for Obamacare’s mental-health “experts” to begin calling for the “cure” of massive wealth redistribution to ‘alleviate chronic depression’ among poor people. :(
Isn’t slavery great?
