Would Obamacare End Corruption -- or Expand It? | Michael F. Cannon | Cato Institute: Commentary: "But the president isn't asking the House to vote on his new plan. He's asking them to pass the corruption-laden bill that passed the Senate on Christmas Eve, when few Americans were watching the Senate spend their money."

"Obama promises that after the House writes all those corrupt deals into law, he will strip them out — and the senators who demanded those deals in the first place will help.

Any congressman who believes that one shouldn't be allowed to touch their own checkbook, much less yours and mine.

Even if the president could somehow weed out the corruption this year, it would come back again and again."

"Each new power ObamaCare creates would be targeted by special interests looking for special favors, and held for ransom by politicians seeking a slice of the pie.

ObamaCare would guarantee that crucial decisions affecting your medical care would be made by the same people, through the same process that created the Cornhusker Kickback, for as far as the eye can see."

"When government grows, corruption grows."
