Sam Sorbo: Free Stuff Isn’t Freedom
In the recent Democratic Party primary debates, the candidates seemed to be in competition to see how much of The People’s money the D.C. bureaucrats – who have collectively accomplished next to nothing – can spend. Their policies created no new products to better people’s lives, nor established any new businesses to employ others, nor added substantially to the general welfare of society. They are like poor people, trying to rig the lottery that need to convince others of their altruism. Free healthcare for all, regardless of nationality or legal status! Free education for anyone – and retroactively! But the old adage that “freedom isn’t free†is true in reverse. Free stuff isn’t freedom; it’s the opposite.
In a New Hampshire town hall with Amy Klobuchar, a self-proclaimed 2017 graduate asked about subsidizing college loans, complaining that his state boasts the “highest average student loan debt in the nation … It’s absurd.†He also insisted she support free education for the formerly incarcerated and illegal immigrants.
