Mark Steyn has a gloomy take on President Obama's speech Wednesday. Steyn feels Obama is going to shove some form of health care reform through to shift political life to the left.
I use another Steyn thesis - the demographic crunch - to say Obama will fail. Obama's health care reform push also comes from the realization there's not enough money to pay for government's promises.
You can't promise more than there's fewer workers to produce tax revenue for you. You get unhappiness all around, especially at the group - Democrats - that overpromised.
So it's important to shove back, like the 9/12 march on Washington. Because Obama's plans for Democratic control are just as good as the IOUs sitting in some files somewhere.
