From the evil Whitey House. (Hat tip to Rev. Wright)
My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government.
Did I read that right, does that say “Public participation” and openness will only strengthen our democracy?
Public engagement enhances the Government’s effectiveness and improves the quality of its decisions. Knowledge is widely dispersed in society, and public officials benefit from having access to that dispersed knowledge.
Hey, there it is again, “public engagement” will only strengthen, yada, yada, yada…. I have a feeling that President Obama was only speaking about those who support his wacky ideas, all others just need to shut up and get out of the way.

Right now we are taxed more heavily on items the government finds unhealthy, like tobacco and alcohol. It’s a form of behavior control called a “sin” tax.
With government healthcare you can be guaranteed higher taxes on those items and then food items the government finds unhealthy. Maybe even an over weight tax on over weight folks, like we do with trucks.
Adam Brodsky at the New York Post has a good article about the coming “health cops”.
