Katherine Kersten: The 'anointed' will 'fix' your health care | StarTribune.com: "Recent unemployment figures reveal the daunting dimensions of the job crisis. Unemployment stands at 10.2 percent, and underemployment -- those who have given up looking or who have taken part-time jobs -- is at a mind-numbing 17.5 percent: almost one in five. In this greatest crisis since the Great Depression, many Americans are becoming desperate -- watching bills mount, facing foreclosures and giving up hope.
Alarm bells may be sounding for the American people, but not -- it seems -- for President Obama and Democratic congressional leaders. Instead of making jobs their urgent priority, they have launched a wild-eyed, budget-busting crusade to remake America's health care system. They are doing this at a time when two-thirds of Americans say they are happy with their current health care, and in a way that will paralyze job creation and act as a massive drag on the economy for years to come.
To get a handle on this, you've got to get inside the heads of the political class now running Washington. For this purpose, there's no more insightful guide than economist Thomas Sowell's 1995 classic, 'The Vision of the Anointed.'"
