re: #763 Bagua

In the US case, the member states are the individual states, and the EU is the federal government. Thus the horrible failure of Masscare becomes Obamacare, extending the flawed program nation wide, forcing it on all states who will no longer be control their own public health care programs.

As this inevitably leads to problems, we will all be willing to see the programs ramped up in increments, as after all it needs to be “fixed”. As the local states no longer control these programs by law, there is only the federal government to look to for the solution which will always involve more tax, more bureaucracy, more regulation.

Call it “Cloward-Piven Lite”. Its still about manufacturing and using crises, but without violence.
