There's Plenty Of Scare Tactics To Go Around

One line of argument that makes me want to go Spoletta and jump off a building is when politicians, pundits and people alike blame economic and social problems on the "free market" system. While the Obama administration attempts to tackle the scare-mongering tactics used by opponents of his health care reform plan, the irony is blaming all ills with a "capitalism just doesn't work" rationale is scare-mongering too.

And a hopelessly bad argument at that.

In the next post, I'll write about personal experiences dealing with the government. People under estimate how costly government inefficiencies really are and contribute to the weakening of the free enterprise system.
