Here's To Your Health...
I don't know about YOU, but I've just about heard and seen enough concerning this health care "bill" that's been kicked about like some mega-buck soccer ball.
I suppose it hasn't occurred to ANYONE in the current administration that we need a few more "important" things in our nation taken care of FIRST...
One of them would be a little something called J O B S !
Americans are being laid off or otherwise "given the axe" in damn near record numbers, which means a helluva lot MORE people are on the unemployment dole. Fortunately for THEM, benefits may be extended another 19 weeks (I recall when all you got was about 19 weeks total), and the money to pay for all that is coming from WHERE, exactly?
We also hear tell about unemployment rates declining....really?
REALLY?
Maybe you should check those numbers, because when people have run their allotment of benefits and drop OFF the radar, that does NOT mean they are suddenly employed anew...
Yes, we're being lied to again.
Unemployment is REALLY increasing.
Funny how that claim of unemployment NOT going over 8% got tossed out with the bath water (we're now hovering around 10.2%). Maybe Obama should have checked the FACTS with someone who knows something about ACCOUNTING and basic MATH.
Which brings me to Harry Reid, who I wouldn't let do a head count of the members of a baseball team on a field, due to his "flawed" mathematical abilities.
Where the hell is anything being SAVED when you're spending over a TRILLION BUCKS of some health care bill that the vast MAJORITY of citizens simply DO NOT WANT?
And why aren't YOU signing up for this health care, Mr. Reid???
Seems to me YOU should be at the FRONT of the line.
Now, call me misinformed, but in order for "someone" to PAY for this "new healthcare" (which is unconstitutional in so many ways), we're going to need people with MONEY.
And that MONEY usually comes from being gainfully EMPLOYED, doesn't it?
I think MY logic is a tad more substantial than Mr. Reid's, don'cha think?
If Deja Vu serves me correctly, didn't Clinton try passing another lame-ass "Hillary-Care" back in the 1990s?
And that went over about as well as a pregnant pole-vaulter, right?.
Now Reid has a solution for paying some of the freight on this crap...TAX the rich.
Now, wouldn't the "rich" include those who OWN or RUN businesses that EMPLOY people?
And wouldn't MORE taxes impact on those "bottom lines"?
Could we see even MORE layoffs, because a business shut down, thanks to over-taxation?
I'm just sayin'...this is one snowball we really don't want to kick down that mountain.
I guess what REALLY amazes me, is the fact that anyone with HALF a brain and a smattering of mathematical aptitude can actually BELIEVE all this bullsh*t being touted by these politicians who want this health care to pass.
That's like allowing the inmates to RUN the bloody asylum, for God's sake!
If ANY of us mere citizens were to consider living OUR financial lives in a manner paralleling that of those in Congress or the Senate, we'd have been committed a LONG time ago, and fitted up with one of those really nice, tight, white "long-sleeve", buckle jackets!
But think on this...is it REALLY all about "health care"?
Well, it is but ONE way to control a people...
Control the health care and you WILL control a nation's people.
Another way is to control the CURRENCY.
People need money, it's THAT simple. We can't conduct ANY transaction without it, unless we wish to go back to the old bartering days...(service for service).
Find a method to devalue a currency to the point of worthlessness, and the people will succumb to your will, no matter how bad it might taste. They need to survive, and controlling the primary means to purchase anything is a damn fine way to manage that.
Still another method of control is to take away guns from the people.
Well, we know that bird's not going to fly all that well.
When you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have them.
One other way to control a people is to control the media.
Tell a lie often enough, and make it seem palatable, and people will begin to believe it. That's a paraphrase of a quote by none other than Adolph Hitler himself (Mein Kampf).
Trouble with ALL of these things is that they WILL work...and that doesn't bode well for any of us who still covet freedom and liberty for everyone. And the really BAD thing is that ALL of these methods are being thrust at us at the SAME time.
It's like I said the other day about "information and sensory overload".
We're being hit with SO MUCH at ONE TIME, we can barely discern what the hell is going on, let alone separate the wheat from the chaff. And that's another way to control the people...KEEP THEM CONFUSED.
Face it, a confused person is a docile person...one who is more prone to becoming "compliant", or malleable in thought and reason.
Now that's not anything I want to be part and parcel to...how about you?
Yeah, our President and his cronies SHOULD be focusing on getting our people EMPLOYED, bolstering our DOLLAR, and providing to the rest of the world a nation that has the ability to rebound from impending financial crises, and come out stronger on the other side.
Not seeing that happen, people...
It would seem that the phrase "Of the people, by the people, for the people" should be sounding more like "Force the people, tax the people. control the people".
Now I don't recall seeing THAT in ANY of our founding documents, or mentioned by ANY former leader of this nation.
Let me know if I'm wrong here, OK?. Maybe I missed something somewhere.
What we can take away from all this imminent "control" is a system whereby those that have, will be forced (in some fashion) to give to those who have not. Gee, we used to call that CHARITY. Wonder where THAT went?
And charity always began in the home.
Well, I suppose we'll all be in government-imposed housing soon enough...can't wait for that.
Americans need to get back what this nation USED to stand for, and NOT stand for all the "change" that's being perpetrated against decent, hard-working people.
Americans need to have their voice heard, and their petitions addressed.
We need to take a stand, and to not be moved aside by the winds of such "change".
If we need to change anything, it's the direction this nation is headed....if we want to remain the nation our forefathers fought and died for.
That's something to think about.
Stay safe out there, America.

I just finished "Economics in One Lesson" yesterday.. it was first written in 46 or 48, and updated late 70s. Its very appropriate for now even though it's an older book. Government cannot create jobs without taking a job from the private market, or take dollars out of the hands of private citizens and create wealth.. or spend their way into prosperity. It's been tried many times before, and failed every time. What do they think will happen when they do it again? Same thing.. idiots!!

Gonna have to ADD that book to my (ever-growing) list...thanks for the info.

I tried a lot of times to make SOME logic out of this crap the gov't is shovin' at us...

Nothing adds the hell UP...not one blessed thing.
And to think (some) people are actually FOR all this...astounding!
(damn lemmings...lol)

If something doesn't work the FIRST time..it sure as hell won't work ANY other time, UNLESS it needs fixing..and gets fixed properly.

I'm no economist or sociologist, but I did take accounting 101...and believe me, this is total FUBAR!
It's like paying OFF your mortgage by going out and buying a damn YACHT (or two)!
Oh, sure...that makes sense.
NOT!
Morons, indeed.

Thanks for stopping by.
