Trump just did that – again.

He promised that if he becomes president, he will force you – via the taxes you pay to the government and the premiums you're obliged to pay the "health insurance" mafia – to pay for IVF treatments.  "Your government," he said – without a trace of understanding the irony of that statement – "will pay for" (meaning your taxes will pay for) "or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for" (meaning you will be forced to pay even more for the mandatory insurance you're already forced to pay for) "all costs associated with IVF treatment."

Bad enough. Worse was the ensuing applause.

Exasperating, isn't it? Assuming – that is – you aren't a socialist. This excludes all Democrats and most Republicans. Rand Paul and Thomas Massie are two of the exceptions. And that is why socialism always wins the election in this country. And will will regardless of which socialist gets (s)elected about two months from now.

I was talking about this with radio host Gard Goldsmith the other day. About how Fabianism works. The term refers to socialism on the slow; two steps forward – via overt socialists, who are fundamentally communists as the difference between the two is as minor as the difference between Hunts ketchup and Heinz ketchup – and then one step back, via socialists who like to pretend they're not.

Like Trump.

He previously revealed himself to be just that when he promised to replace – not repeal – Obamacare. His plan, you see, is "better" than the plans of the socialists who imposed government-controlled (and government-enforced) "health care" plans on Americans. His plan is more "efficient" and all the usual related blather.
