" “Life has never been anywhere near fair... therefore, the illusion that government can create fairness is a precious resource for politicians seeking greater control over our lives.” - Beautiful.
I will never stop - - never give up hope. If I can convince ONE Democrat the United States is more important than their hatred of Trump, I will be happy. If I can convince Lisa Murkowski or Susan Collins that Constitutional Law is more important than their well-intentioned efforts to SUBVERT the Law they are sworn to protect and Defend - - THEN we will be able to return to the grand hopes envisioned by the founders when they initiated this experiment in self-government - - . Yeah, well - - we all dream - -
Leaders and would-be leaders are prone to describing features of life as "problems", implying or even asserting that they are susceptible of human solution. Pot holes are a problem; they can be eliminated by human agency. Inequitable genetic and epigenetic inheritance are features of life. They cannot be eliminated by human agency. The effects of such inequity may be mitigated in some degree and in certain connections, but the underlying reality is a feature of our existence, enriching our experience and multiplying our possibilities. Until political powers that be can arrange that every human being, at least within certain approved castes or classes, is an identical, replaceable unit, any promise to create a world free of the inequities of all kinds that nature itself mandates through its diversity will be an utter failure and even a disaster for the people who believe in those promises.

Excellent Summary of Political Promise and Economic reality.
Medicare for All a perfect example ....
63 million recipients now get low cost health insurance premiums ,hospital and physicians.
Incredibly low cost to seniors due to 70% subsidies by Federal Government.
Do the math- enrolling entire population to an already challenged program would only bankrupt it earlier.
Indeed ... !!!
I admire Thomas Sowell very much - so incisive, objective and honest. I wish there was a much stronger recognition and appreciation of his wisdom.
