My old brain is not working at top performance (I was up too late last night). I did want to comment briefly on the latest Health Care fiasco by Nancy Pelosi and her gang.
Pelosi has come forth with her massive Health Care proposal. You know, the Health Care that will be sure everyone in the United States will be insured, will save all of us money, help the economy, and NOT raise taxes. Yep, that one.
The 1990 page bill (light reading) is now available for all with the fortitude to slog through. I am struck by the stupidity and arrogance of our legislators as they once again prove that they have no clue about how businesses operate. Of course, they have been proving that for years if you look at the stupid business decisions they make for the country. Yes, I do believe the country should be looked at and operated like a business: it is the largest employer in the country, so what shouldn't it adhere to basic business principles? A good article explaining how the bill will negatively affect you can be found on the FreedomWorks website. Info about the GOP's alternative health care proposal can be found here.
It all boils down to the fact that the United States can't afford the bill as it is set forth. My husband and I looked at new cars recently. We came home in the car we have owned for 6 years. We couldn't afford a new one. Why can't our legislators use the same logic as a couple of older folks in Western North Carolina? It was relatively simple for us to say, "We have this much income, this many obligations, can we afford to do this?" Answer, arrived at in a bipartisan manner, "No."
