Old Dusty Patriot Nails Democrats ObamaCare ‘Management’ To the Wall

Madison
James Madison saw ObamaCare coming from over 200 years away…

The left promotes this notion that the ideas of the past have no value in the present.  That they are anchors that keep us from our future.  In one respect this is true; following the simple ideas promoted by America’s founders was meant to prevent the very kind of disaster that the Democrat’s so-called health-care reform has caused and the chaos that continues without end.

So yes, we were warned, by a guy who had been dead for 177 years, with words of wisdom and warning that he wrote over two-hundred years ago.

The internal effects of a mutable policy are still more calamitous. It poisons the blessing of liberty itself. It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man, who knows what the law is to-day, can guess what it will be tomorrow. Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed?

Another effect of public instability is the unreasonable advantage it gives to the sagacious, the enterprising, and the moneyed few over the industrious and uniformed mass of the people. Every new regulation concerning commerce or revenue, or in any way affecting the value of the different species of property, presents a new harvest to those who watch the change, and can trace its consequences; a harvest, reared not by themselves, but by the toils and cares of the great body of their fellow-citizens. This is a state of things in which it may be said with some truth that laws are made for the few, not for the many.

Stupid Founders, jeesh.
