De Omnibus Dubitandum - Lux Veritas

Word of the Day!

iatrogenic -  adjective \ ī-ˌa-trə-ˈje-nik - of or relating to illness caused by medical examination or treatment.

I found this word in an article regarding the disastrous impact leftism has made on humanity with their "caring" and the "social programs" they've instituted that "care".  "Liberal-left social “cures,” via government-mandated social engineering, are iatrogenic– social “remedies” bedeviled by a bevy of harmful unintended social consequences, created by government agencies, recklessly intervening in the private sphere. The problem is that public intellectuals of the left suffer from the hubris of thinking they know more than they do."
 
The same arguments can be made for those who institute programs that "care" for environment, but leave misery, suffering, squalor and early death in their wake.
