Yes, and government has failed that. So what? That’s an indictment of the government, not of the system they have failed.

So, what happens when that equation is perverted so that demand is artificially manufactured by government mandate?

Intelligent adults blame the government for perverting the market. Liberals blame the free enterprise system. Sound familiar?

I would caution you....supply and demand is RELATED to the free market, and it's the driving force of the free market, but it's also present in marxism and socialism and so on....where it is also perverted. True free supply and demand is an incredible dynamic that incents people to do the right thing. Power is an evil concept that often incents people to do the wrong thing.

While im sure that is their plan I don’t see how a public option is any different then an insurance monopoly run by politicians who cheat.

So maybe that’s because folks stopped following the instruction manual.

Ronald Reagan:

“Within the cover of that single book (the Bible) are ALL the answers to ALL the problems that face us today....if we’d only read AND believe.”
