We would never build a house if we could not pay for the
materials and labor it costs to build it unless we chose to incur a mountain of
debt or, if this was the government building a house of unfunded mandates, just
send the bill to someone else so much simpler.
As ridiculous as that sounds, the government has started
unfunded mandates in the name of ‘Safety,’ ‘Minimum wages,’ and ‘Clean air’
that have cost everyone, except of course the government, from the small
businessman to the successful entrepreneur.
If we could buy without having to pay, a one sided trade
that the free economy forbids, we would acquire all manner posssesions that we would
never ordinarily buy because the expenses force us to weigh the costs and the
benefits, something the government neglects to do for their unfunded mandates.
