Their Assembly approved yet another experiment to once again show the failures of top down, socialist bureaucracies when it approved a bill that would mandate state issued health insurance for everyone man woman and child in the state. Yes, as though we need another failed social experiment stemming from modern liberalism?s embrace of centralized authority and government control. Sure it could be an excellent lesson for not only the liberals of California but the entire nation as well but not one that is necessary.

These elected officials have shown that history and economics certainly are not their strong suits and that serious attention to these subjects must be added to the curriculum of California schools.
