La izquierda obliga a sus seguidores a apelar constantemente a la magia. Conozco muy pocos adultos funcionales que se animen a admitir públicamente que creen que lo de las películas de Harry Potter es real.

Sin embargo, son legión los que te dicen, explícita o implícitamente, con cara de serios, que ser un funcionario público automáticamente te convierte en una persona mejor y más justa, más preparada para tomar decisiones de vida y muerte sobre los demás:

Why aren't insurance companies already insuring the people and the conditions that they are now going to be forced to cover? Because that means additional costs-- and because the insurance companies don't think their customers are willing to pay those particular costs for those particular coverages.

It costs politicians nothing to mandate more insurance coverage for more people. But that doesn't mean that the costs vanish into thin air. It simply means that both buyers and sellers of insurance are forced to pay costs that neither of them wants to pay. But, because soaring political rhetoric leaves out such grubby things as costs, it sounds like a great deal.

It is not just costs that are left out. It is consequences in general.
