Here is the original text from the Dec. 8, 2010 video

Reason.tv presents Great Moments in Unintended Consequences! All actions have unanticipated side effects, but government acting through regulation or legislation is particularly adept at creating disastrous unintended consequences. Great Moments in Unintended Consequences takes a look at three instances of epic government facepalm: Osborne Reef, Corn Ethanol Subsidies, and a particular clause in ObamaCare that is already doing more harm than good. Approximately 3 minutes. Produced by Austin Bragg.
