This won’t surprise anyone who has watched Mayor Michael Bloomberg conduct his crusades against cigarette smoking and fat in New York City. Nick Gillespie of Reason TV names Bloomberg the Nanny of the Year for erecting a nanny state in America’s most populous city. No one has done more to insinuate the long arm of government into the private choices of Americans, not even Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid — and that’s saying something indeed:
Bloomberg’s success will encourage other nosy politicians to grab enough power to start dictating personal choices in cities across America. Make no mistake about it — the Big Apple will be the Big Precedent. And once ObamaCare turns into single payer, the feds will have the leverage they need to do the same.
