Thomas Sowell Saith:

The voting public's willingness to believe fancy rhetoric and ignore hard facts is a crucial part of this scam.

When the Obama administration said that it could provide health insurance to millions of additional people without increasing the national debt, shouldn't common sense have told you that somebody was just insulting your intelligence?

When the two thousand page bill was rushed through Congress too fast for anybody to read it, shouldn't that have made you realize that you were being played for a sucker?

When this bill that was passed with lightning speed was scheduled to take effect only after the 2012 election, didn't that suggest that they didn't want you to find out how it works in practice in time to turn against Obama when he is up for reelection?

Of course, all these things are true. Any thinking person should have figured out what the Democrats were up to in nothing flat, but far too many people don't bother to think anymore; instead, they emote their way to a conclusion. And of the ones who do think, far too few of them take the trouble to do the reading basic to understanding government and economics.
