Obamacare


Many political pundits say Obamacare will die of its own burdensome weight.  And, rightly so, maybe.  Ronald Reagan said the closest thing to eternity on earth is a government program.  Slavery in the United States would have died from its own burdensome weight had it been allowed to live on into the 20th Century killed by advances in agricultural and manufacturing technology like the cotton gin, the mechanical reaper, the sewing machine, etc. Yet, our nation engaged in a Civil War and paid a tremendous and horrible price to eliminate slavery then and there.  Was it worth the price?  That's debatable.  Are we to leave Obamacare in place and let it die an eventual death in 10 or 20 years, or Is it worth the price to kill Obamacare now as it is and bury it once and for all, else suffer the consequences until it does fail from its own burdensome and financial weight?
Our leaders seem to never study history and learn its lessons.  Too few people in high places in government have an understanding of history, and little else, I might add.
