More than 2700 pages of health care law and now we’re told that it has to be “fixed”. Does anyone who voted for this legislation know how it’s supposed to work as written? And how much is this going to really cost? Perhaps we should ask them now, write down their answers and check back with them in a few months.
Give my voters what they want – someone else is paying for it.
As Congress continues to extend vast sums of money to the constituencies that are dependent on its largess (unemployed, bureaucracies, minorities, environmentalists) it continues its efforts to extract (excuse me, ‘redistribute’) funds from individuals and companies that do not require government’s “help”. The naked action of taking funds from the independent to buy the votes of the dependent is said to be a sure sign of degradation in government. The negative spiral of a higher tax burden per paying individual to support ever-growing entitlements that reinforce dependency on the government officials that ‘protect and defend’ those entitlements. Less reinvested profits lead to less taxes paid, which will cause those same politicians to raise taxes more to make up for the shortfall. This type of cycle never ends well.
Go ahead and vote – will let you know who won later!
In the last 18 months the State of Illinois (land of Daley and Obama) had an elected official and the Democratic Party pick a Senator and a candidate for Lieutenant Governor without a vote, or in spite of the vote of the general public. It seems that the Democratic leadership doesn’t believe that the people of Illinois can be trusted to select who should represent their party. Stalin would be so proud!
Fill it up, it’s getting warm outside.
We’re approaching Easter and before long, summer. After the less than spectacular season of 2009, this year looks to be reasonably better. Seeing that the economy has bounced off the canyon floor of the abyss, people will travel more this year. Crude oil is $15 to $20 dollars higher than it was this time last year. The probability of crude oil rising from its current price of $82 to the $85 to $95 range before July 4th is better than 2 to 1.
Until next time,
