Liberalism has never overcome its aristocratic origins; hence, it can never inspire real people—it can only plead for good order. Even in its best incarnation, Liberalism is an ideology of measured beneficence.

A poet is a poet only insofar as she needs to be read. The desire for an audience must haunt her and drive her mad. For this reason, the strong poet must resent her readers—she must write against her readers.

The facts are, the ACA saved millions with pre-existing conditions and set standards for care.
But now, more than a decade later, with what we now know, it’s time to take the insurance companies out of the mix.
The subsidies they get are enormous. We don’t need them as middlemen.
