In a post generally critical of government and specifically critical of three programs, Tom Blumen concludes (my emphasis added):
The micro and macro lessons are clear. So why do statists keep doing things that don’t work?
It could be that they are so blinded by their ideology that they are intellectually incapable of learning from their mistakes. But it’s much more probable that most of them have learned and simply don’t care. They would prefer having more power and control over a situation involving mediocrity and malaise to having less control over one of growth and prosperity.l What they are trying to do to the best health care system in the world, the cost and permanent damage of which would over the long term dwarf the three examples I have cited here, demonstrates why the second alternative is more likely the correct one.
