Examples include Obamacare, Gay Marriage, and Free Public Education for Illegals. The last two were decisions by courts after the people voted and decided they did not want the benefit for the small group requesting it.
Obamacare is an obvious example of a terrible law that was to target a small group of uninsured Americans but instead centralized the entire industry, ending everyone's private policy, based upon some theory that was never successfully implemented on a smaller scale. European countries may have tried similar programs but they were not successful; Care decreased every time and the price went up. The law should have been targeted to the 20 million citizens that wanted insurance and was unable to afford to purchase it. Of course this block was able to get care by emergency room visits, but that was the issue presented why they needed this program.
Gay marriage affects less that 1% of the population but now Christian organizations across the country are being attacked causing harm to 50% of the population to help 1% gain a benefit. Does that make any sense? Pass a law that gives the legal benefits of marriage administered by the state and leaves all the religious organizations to continue to operate under their faith the way the have for centuries. But progressives in government are never happy allowing private organizations to operate without strict regulation. Even though they have no experience running an organization or any understanding of the reasons the organization is run the way it is.
And free public education for illegal aliens is a benefit to individuals that should not even be in the country but takes money away from students that are citizens. Democrats love the expansion of the education system and an increase in teacher union membership, but the costs has been too high. The education system has been split as citizens that can get away from poor performing schools do, and those that are taking advantage of their status in the country or do not have the means have no choice. Competition leads to best practices which then leads to successful schools.
