Why is everything a crisis?

Have you noticed how the politicians refer to everything as a crisis? I was checking out all of the crises they have predicted over the last few decades. In the early seventies they were concerned with the population crisis. They were predicting mass starvation and economic destruction, didn’t happen. Later in the seventies they actually predicted global cooling along the same lines as they are predicting global warming now. They wanted to do all kinds of attacks on the private sector to save the world from global cooling, didn’t happen. Then in the 80’s they were predicting the USA had lost its momentum and that Germany and Japan were going to slaughter us in the global economy. Then, of course, in the 90s, the biggest scam of all: Y2K. This was going to be the end of the world, planes would fall out of the sky. The US spent billions on trying to figure out what was going to happen, and of course not much happened. In the 2000’s it has been all about global warming, but it has been shown that scientists were fixing the data to create false results. I guess there was a lot of money in it for someone. Now the politicians are saying how we have a health care crisis and we have to socialize everything so they can save us from ourselves. Give me a break. The politicians do not trust the free market, and they think they are smarter than the consumer. If things become too tough the market will adjust. I do not have faith in the politicians. The next subject will be on health reform in California that can really work and does not raise taxes.
