“The Obama administration’s agenda of maximizing dependency involves political favoritism cloaked in the raiment of “economic planning” and “social justice” that somehow produce results superior to what markets produce when freedom allows merit to manifest itself, and incompetence to fail.

*Live Free or Die, by Mark Steyn.
“But forget the money, the deficit, the debt, the big numbers with the 12 zeroes on the end of them. So-called fiscal conservatives often miss the point. The problem isn’t the cost.

Even if there were no financial consequences, the moral and even spiritual consequences would still be fatal.”
Read the whole thing, I implore you.
