Mark Steyn ends his article, "Worse Is the New Normal," with the following observation:
Obamacare is something new in American life: the creation of a massive bureaucracy charged with downsizing you — to a world of fewer doctors, higher premiums, lousier care, more debt, fewer jobs, smaller houses, smaller cars, smaller, fewer, less; a world where worse is the new normal...
George Orwell, after attending a meeting of impoverished but passive
miners, remarked sadly that “there is no turbulence left in England.”
The Democrats, and much of the Republican establishment, have made a bet
that there is no turbulence left in America, and the citizenry will
stand mute before Obamacare’s wrecking ball. Unless they’re willing to
accept a worse life for their children and grandchildren, middle-class
Americans need to prove them wrong.
