While I don't think it was an intended outcome, ObamaCare has had the effect of driving up insurance the most in red states and driving down the cost of insurance the most in blue states.

It's what you'd expect as an unintended consequence of partisan legislation written, passed, and voted for exclusively by people from one party. Though maybe only in hindsight would the expectation be on your radar.

This got me thinking ... in this age of political polarization where screw the other guy is more important than having something to offer yourself ... what does "warfare" legislation look like? This has to be something that has broad bipartisan populist support ... but where the ramifications are only felt later on a partisan basis. You're basically mining for lies built into the other team's system. And where the rubber meets the road on a government system built on lies is usually on the revenue collection side. Here's a brilliant example: We're going to make it illegal to place a toll road on an Interstate. If you got one you've got 30 days to take it down. That almost ONLY impacts deep blue metropolitan cores and states. And it hits them directly in the wallet. Immediately. And it would of course be hugely popular.
