Relacionado con lo que decía ayer sobre la decadencia de EEUU. Mark Steyn lo dice bien clarito, para que lo entienda hasta el último pajarito hondeado:
Why is he doing this? Why let "health" "care" "reform" stagger on like the rotting husk in a low-grade creature feature who refuses to stay dead no matter how many stakes you pound through his chest?
Because it's worth it. Big time. I've been saying in this space for two years that the governmentalization of health care is the fastest way to a permanent left-of-center political culture. It redefines the relationship between the citizen and the state in fundamental ways that make limited government all but impossible. In most of the rest of the Western world, there are still nominally "conservative" parties, and they even win elections occasionally, but not to any great effect (Let's not forget that Jacques Chiracwas, in French terms, a "conservative").
The result is a kind of two-party one-party state: Right-of-center parties will once in a while be in office, but never in power, merely presiding over vast left-wing bureaucracies that cruise on regardless.
Muy bueno!

ReplyDeleteEl futuro que describe Steyn se parece asombrosamente al pasado y presente argento.
Y no es coincidencia, Perón hizo acá en los 40's lo que Obama (su aprendiz) esta haciendo ahora en USA.
