I understand the importance of healthcare for everyone. I just shake my head at the logic.
Printing money to pay for an expensive healthcare plan only shifts the cost elsewhere.
Every time the government prints more money, the rich get richer and the gap between the rich and everyone else increases.
Taxes, debt, inflation, and the cost of retirement go up for the middle class and working poor with every dollar printed, and it makes more sense for the non-working poor to stay poor. Trying to save poor people only creates more poor people.
For the poor, Why try and get ahead when it's easier to just let the government take care of you?
For politicians, why teach people to fish when it's easier to get re-elected by just giving fish away?
