Government regulations limit health care companies from competing across state lines and mandate that they cover “sex reassignment” expenses. The Obama crowd accuses them of price gouging. Barney Frank decides that everyone should own a home and so browbeats mortgage lenders to finance sub-prime borrowers precipitating a massive financial crisis. The Obama crowd accuses them of greed and malfeasance. Government regulations prohibit drilling for oil in places where oil is easy to get, forcing drilling in deep water sites where it is risky to get. The Obama crowd calls for them to be prosecuted.
Of Ethics and Competence

Lack of Progress
Progressivism's promise is a program for every problem, and progressivism's premise is that every unfulfilled desire is a problem. (George Will, Washington Post, 6/3/10)
