Alright, here are a few media examples of “save the day”, a great, commonplace and most useful expression to be sure:
1. The acclaimed General David Petraeus, who helped turn things around in Iraq, headed up CENTCOM for a bit and swooped in to try to save the day in Afghanistan, is retiring. Well, he’s retiring from the military to become head of the CIA. A big ceremony will take place today at Fort Myer.
- Good-Bye, and Good Luck, NationalInterest.org, August 31, 2011.
2. Overturn the federal law that allows states to ban interstate commerce in health insurance. These health care insurance companies are basically allowed a monopoly due to government regulation. Liberals have told us that the problem is with greedy insurance companies gouging customers, but it is the federal politician (currently the Democrats) keeping the possibility of competition out of this industry by keeping a federal law on the books preventing competition between the states. They say this industry is too important to the daily lives of people to leave it to the market to decide what should and shouldn’t happen, but isn’t it the market that best decides what should and shouldn’t happen? Isn’t it the market that drives a shoddy enterprise out of business, as that shoddy businesses competitors run commercials et. al. on the company to exploit their weaknesses and malfeasance? The government just bails the shoddy business out and deems the shoddy business to be “too important to fail”. What goes into the “too important to fail” designation? How many palms are greased in the decision (see sausage) making process? Politicians are the ones who created this monopolistic wall in the health care industry, why are we looking to them to save the day for us? I say we take the advantage of the opportunity this recent turnaround in Congress, in the governorships, and in the state legislatures has presented us to tell Washington: “Mr. Bureaucrat, tear down this wall!”
