Thomas Sowell sobre una de las grandes tendencias en mucha gente en general y de la izquierda en particular: tomar en cuenta todos los beneficios y olvidarse de incluir los costos en la ecuación. En fin, de ilusiones también se vive. Aunque nos salga mucho más caro:
People who think that they are getting something for nothing, by having government provide what they would otherwise have to buy in the private market, are not only kidding themselves by ignoring the taxes that government has to take from them in order to give them the appearance of something for nothing. They are also ignoring the strings that are going to be attached to their own money when it comes back to them in government benefits.
That is not even counting the fact that government programs are usually less efficient than similar services provided by private enterprises.
Lo que se dice en España es "no se venden duros a cuatro pesetas". Traducido al euro :-) sería "no dan 1 euro por 99 céntimos"! Más claro, el agua! (Española o de donde sea!)
