i talk to people and it seems to me that there are a lot of very smart people who nevertheless favor obamacare out of altruism. these same people, however, seem to have no clear concept of economics, and in particular, no clear knowledge of the national debt problem and its aftereffects.
these people, i believe, are the people who keep obamacare afloat when it would otherwise sink.
further, i believe democrats know this and rely on the ignorance of economics by these people.
the way to discuss the situation with these people, i think, is to bring up greece. that is, is what is happening to greece after years of racking up debt for social programs ok? and then follow up with the question of whether it would be ok for the USA too, since the USA is apparently going in the same direction. so far, not a single liberal i have met dares answer these questions. they do not have a response because they are totally ignorant of economics? it would seem to me that an honest person would stop and think why anyone should favor obamacare if the end unintended consequence is runaway inflation, stagnation, and/or bank closures. it is because imho people have been brainwashed in our public schools to expect that the answer to all of our problems is more government spending, without regard to economic consequences.
There is much in what you say.
Millions are being played for fools because they don’t know how to think and see through all the smoke and mirrors - education, media and government largess have rendered them incapable of understanding what is being (has been) done to take away what makes America strong (the source of their freedom).
