Thank you Wall Street Journal for debunking and rebutting Politifacts conjecture that the biggest lie of the year was the phrase, "government takeover of healthcare." In the Plain Dealer coverage of the issue a couple of days ago, they skewered wordsmith Frank Luntz for coming up with the phrase.
Politifarce is short-sighted in its view. While it is true that the means of production have not been confiscated by the government, the facts are that the capitalistic environment has been damaged. The government is setting up a situation whereby the private delivery of health services will "whither on the vine." Then the government can demonize the private industry and provide a convenient solution.
Here is just another example of how the authoritarians create a crisis in order to provide a solution.
Oh. Merry Christmas!
