A television commercial just aired, reminding me of how tax dollars are spent.
The ACA commercial briefly shows the success story of two participants, or should I say recipients, because we are all participants, as taxpayers. Each describes, proudly, how they found a plan that fits their budget. One found a plan for $9.00 per month and another for $0.00 per month. Interesting is the portrayal as this being that they were shopping for a product and found bargains.
The reality is that weren't making an informed decision as much as they were figuring out how to minimize their reportable cash flow so they could get the benefit for as close to free as possible.
Classic government program, a problem fomented by government intrusion, a program created on a pack of lies, the government acting like it is their own generosity, and the needy being portrayed as righteous consumers.
I believe in being charitable, but not by way of the government.
