What Can Government Do For You – Today?

Well, the legislative freight train called ‘Legal Reform’ has barreled out of the State Senate and over into the State House: The other day a passer-by spotted a parade of lobbyists (from Insurance Companies, the Medical Society, the Hospital Association, the Pharmaceutical Industry and the Chamber of Commerce) sauntering into Speaker Thom Tillis’ office beaming from ear to ear delighted at the prospect of tilting the laws in their favor.
 
All in all it’s a crystallizing moment in democracy in action.
 
Once upon a time we Republicans told business lobbyists, Forget about subsidies. Forget about special laws. We’re for getting government off your back – not for getting you into everyone else’s pocket.
 
Now it seems we ask, What can government do for you today?
 
And the answer is, Plenty.
