When all is said and done, here are two small examples of why the new health care tax, or any other major government encroachment into the private sector, can never, ever work and never has.
 
According to Fox News.com, “During a visit to a community health center in Austin, (Kathleen) Sebelius conceded that there wasn't enough testing done on the website, but added that her department had little flexibility to postpone the launch against the backdrop of Washington's unforgiving politics.
 
In an ideal world there would have been a lot more testing, but we did not have the luxury of that. And the law said the go-time was Oct. 1," she said. "And frankly, a political atmosphere where the majority party, at least in the House, was determined to stop this anyway they possibly could ... was not an ideal atmosphere."
 
So, here we have the head of a quickly failing program using the excuse that political pressure caused the technically flawed new tax launch to implode. And, this isn’t an issue that can ever be cured, because problems will certainly continue to mount whereas, so long as the government's involved, politics will always override practical matters, regardless.
 
Further proof of this premise can be seen because there’s little doubt that in the incumbent’s case, health care itself  wasn’t likely even the issue. Instead the tax became a vehicle to further socialize the nation, penalizing as many have’s as possible to support have not’s. And if the cost turned out to be ruination of the nation’s health care system for political purposes, so what? 
 
Along the very same lines, an article from dailycaller.com reports that “First Lady Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate is a top executive at the company that earned the contract to build the failed Obamacare website.
 
Toni Townes-Whitley, Princeton class of ’85, is senior vice president at CGI Federal, which earned the no-bid contract to build the $678 million Obamacare enrollment website at Healthcare.gov. CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of a Canadian company.
 
Townes-Whitley and her Princeton classmate Michelle Obama are both members of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni.”
 
So, what this looks like, if the article’s correct, that cronyism had much more effect on building the vehicle for implementing the health care tax than a desire to do it right. However, as is often the case where inside connections count more than capability, massive failure results.
 
Consequently, if the Republicans are smart, which is questionable, they won’t overplay their hands right now. But instead, sit back and wait and watch as the heath care tax and the economy in general continue to fall apart. And then, a few months from now quietly send the incumbent, his wife and key Dem’s in Congress notes of thanks for making a Republican return to national power a piece of cake. 
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
