The Democrats just don't get it. President Obama, and the rest of the far left brain trust just can't help themselves from adding more and more government interference in our lives and in the economy at large. This interference means more over-paid, under productive government bureaucracies, more debt, more taxes, and less money for you the average citizen.

Today President Obama posted his new and supposedly improved health care plan. This plan includes every budget busting, government interference, free market killing feature of the hated medical bill that was recently circulated through Congress with a couple of exceptions. The political payoff to Nebraska has been removed and Obama has added a new bureaucracy and the addition of price controls.

It is because of the price control feature that I am posting this article. Price controls, of all of the failed socialist ideas, price controls are at the top of the list. Have they ever helped to control prices? No, they don't, what they do is create scarcity, black markets, and inflation. But you don't have to take my word for it. Just google Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, price control and see what another would be socialist dictator has done to a strong economy in the name of helping the people. Hugo Chavez has wrecked Venezuela using the same socialist policies that Obama subscribes to.

President Obama is supposed to be such a brilliant mind, so why does he insist on ramming down policies that are historically proven failures? Perhaps he is so indoctrinated into his neo-Marxist beliefs that he cannot help himself.
