"The public option is not an entitlement"
Says Ezra Klein. The argument is that government subsidies for the public option, or private option in health care are not entitlements.
What does that nonsense mean, and why is he writing for a national journal? Ezra, go read the constitution, there is no such thing as an entitlement, it is a political creation and subject to the same cost overruns as any other political football.
Get real, and quit writing nonsense in public. This is the same semantic nonsense Thoma and Krugman use to get their ideology past economic theory. If we wonder why we are in this mess, look no further than so called economic scientists twisting their theory to get an ideology they like.
