End of the World in NC!

Yes, you read that correctly. A North Carolina "state task force" has decided it. But don't worry, government can solve the problem with cash. Since North Carolina is run by Democrats (due to massive, blatant gerrymandering), who is surprised that the solution to any problem is government? If you are, you've not been paying attention.

This time, the cause of the end of the world is a "lack of doctors." And if we don't immediately raise taxes billions of dollars and bribe people to become doctors, there will be no doctors left in the state (so sayeth the "task force").

Gee, could this have anything to do with the new schools of medicine that the state-run government schools want?

Oh, and never forget to ask what caused the alleged problem. Of course, it's government. Government regulations and failure of government to enact simple tort lawsuit reform (NEVER going to happen in Democrat-run NC) is causing doctors to simply close up shop. It's becoming just plain too expensive and too risky to start a medical practice BECAUSE of government. Once again government is proposing to solve a problem THEY created with more taxes.

So, to solve the problem, government should get OUT OF THE WAY, not spend more. But even if it is an actual problem (and that cannot be confirmed because all scare-figures are based on "future estimates"), what business is it of the government? Can someone find me the line in the North Carolina Constitution that says, "Government shall be responsible for maintaining a ratio of doctors to people of less than 500:1? And no, you can't use the one that the Democrats in the legislature use to wipe their bottoms, either.

Freedom works everywhere it's tried. Get government out of the damn way and there will be plenty of doctors everywhere. And if there's not, it's STILL not government's job to provide them!

1 Maybe now that John Edwards has left the State for awhile, some of the Doctors he drove off will come back.

2 Except he's running for president now so he can attempt to run all doctors out of the country.
