The educational value of state incompetence

There is nothing like a massive Federal cock-up like Obamacare to stifle the 'reformers' who want to remake us to their taste.  Thank you Mr. President, you have furthered the cause of limited government more than you can imagine as this FT columnist observes.

As for Mr Obama, the botched rollout of his healthcare law has done more to discredit the case for activist federal government than Republicans could hope to achieve. For the time being, the hope and change wing of the Democratic party is quiescent. It will be hard for Mrs Clinton to rekindle their enthusiasm. That gives Republicans their best chance since 2000 to regain the White House. The party of yesterday may yet have a future.
