This is what happens when I read McArdle on health care. I want to leave, and then she writes something so profoundly stupid that “unbelievably retarded” doesn’t begin to cover it:
I don’t see how you even could argue that this bill will cost less than Medicare Part D.
But, um, Medicare Part D was and is financed entirely with deficit spending. Health care reform is deficit neutral in the short term and aims to stay that way in the long term.
She waves away this seemingly elementary point with the following:
Yes, yes, Obama says he’ll pay for it.
Oh. Well then. I guess you’ve proven he won’t.
Whereas Bush didn’t say he’d pay for it, and then didn’t pay for it, which…
YEEEEEEEAAAAARGH!!!!

Get off your butt and work and earn something. Free is impossible. Work is honor. No wonder you can’t respect yourself.
