[QUOTE="Albion, post: 76135815, member: 93831"] There IS such a thing as a slippery slope when it comes to progressively adding power to a central government, regardless of what social programs are instituted. To talk always about health care (which, yes, is often what's done) and completely ignore the growth of the all-powerful state in the process is a big, big mistake (to put it as politely as I can). To talk as though Health Care or free college is the [I]last[/I] such undertaking that a government which has grown more and more powerful and intrusive in the process will ever have any interest in taking on is the [I]opposite[/I] of what has happened repeatedly in history. And we don't have to look elsewhere than our own country for a good example of it. No slippery slope? What a joke. [/QUOTE]
