What the average citizen to do? In the scheme of things, we’re thought of as just the proletariat, after all. Evidently, we’re to do as we are told and not worry about what our betters in Washington do.
As an example, last week The Wall Street Journal reported that not all medical care plans will be equal. Nope, as Allysia Finley wrote in a piece titled, The Beltway Loophole:
Staffers who wrote the health-care bill exempted themselves from the requirement to join the state-run insurance exchanges.
Well, yeah, what’s so different about that? You cannot expect the beltway insiders to join in the same programs and obey the same laws they inflict on the rest of us, can you? Many in Washington are exempt from the new Obamacare law. No one knows exactly how many yet, but it will be safe to bet that the number will be in the thousands before they are done counting. Of course, that includes everyone in the White House and Obama’s cabinet, too.
Just because they feel they can devise outlandish programs for us to follow, under penalty of law, doesn’t mean that THEY will also participate. They won’t.
