This essay topic for students aged 13-18, for a contest ending 2/6/2012, is right up my alley. I love the discussion of unintended consequences of government's actions.
"Why do you think politicians make promises? When they try to keep them, why are there often unintended consequences? Describe a promise made by a current politician or political candidate from any party, and discuss whether or not they will be able to keep that promise and what, if any, are some potential unintended consequences from that promise. Please use at least one example from the Stossel special or other Stossel report to support your response."
