Administrative Nightmare...

They actually pulled it off...they call it a victory. 219-212 was the final tally in the House. 35 Democrats and all of the Republicans voted NO! There are, at last count, 14 states that are filing lawsuits claiming the unconstitutionality of the Obama Care Health Bill. The administrative issues, mandates, organizational chaos will be tremendous. There will be battles in courtrooms around the nation for decades. Long after President Obama, Rep. Pelosi and Sen. Reid are gone...the lawyers will be raking in the loot. You and I will be paying the tab....billions. The result will be that maybe, just maybe the 10% of our current population that doesn't have health care(not counting the illegals that should go home)will receive some form of health care.

The real problem is the legal profession that defies any attempt to alter the limits on medical or malpractice lawsuits. If the government would reign these folks in, the insurance companies could ease up on their premiums. If the states would allow the underwriters to cross state lines the free market would kick in and the insurance companies, once again could reduce their premiums. If there was some pressure on the insurance companies by interest groups then maybe...you guessed it, the insurance companies could reduce...you get it. If we could form a nation health pool, administered by an independent source, then maybe...just maybe the insurance companies could reduce their premiums; Doctors would stay in the game and could make a decent living...Medicaide would still be in effect and maybe in the black and because there would be reasonable premiums for everyone...maybe the emergency rooms might clear out somewhat and the hospitals, once again, may be come solvent...just a thought.

2010 and then...

This is the year that we begin taking our country onward to the place that our Founding Fathers intended it to be. WE have the power to vote, and many of these overstuffed fat cats are going to have to retire...I don't care what party affiliation you have, this is the criteria for stay or go...this is too simple...ready? If you, as a Senator or Congressman, have voted for more spending on any issue in the last decade...you are gone. If you...same people...have voted in any way for more government control...you are out like a streetlight in the early morn...if you have voted contrary to your majority electorate in your district....there is the door...If you have even thought of misinterpreting the greatest work of humanity, that was and is still an inspiration from the Almighty Himself....you can relish the memories when you were once part of the great American political system...oh, yes you can still vote...in your own home town.
Once we release these errant souls, it is just the beginning. 2012 will remove the balance of the rust and decay that has hindered this once crystaline system of FREE GOVERNMENT...The intent was real, the result can be...if we will just band together as Americans...forget the hyphen... join in the same understanding that men much wiser and more guided than we are, have in this glorious movement...It's time to be a true American again.

Keep the Party going...

It's March. Obama and his minions thought that they would have this health care fiasco wrapped up in the early fall...WE must not give up on our principals of smaller government. ' They' are starting to crumble. They are those that desire us to follow along in their big spending agenda...it just happens that the Progressive ( ha ) Democrats are in the left seat...sorry for the double... They need the pressure put upon them to not vote on spending the entire country into oblivion, or we will vote to put them into the annals of history. Once again, when government stays out of the way and lets the American Spirit shine forth, we can overcome any obstacle....
Listen, take notes....cut spending, I repeat cut spending...hence, cut taxes....more taxes than you are even thinking...open the doors for free enterprise to prevail...
If this is accomplished in a real effort, then businesses will grow...the tax base will widen...more money in the coffers...then trim back the lawsuits....allow the Nation to enjoy an open market for medical insurance and then you government folks just take care of the military and the highways...and the general welfare...that doesn't mean handouts, either. If you can possibly deal with those basic issues, by deal with, I mean leave us alone...then we shall see prosperity for all...and the party in charge will look real good to the electorate.

The Whitehouse has just opened the door to bi-partisanship...so they say. They have allowed some of the Republican points to be allowed into the faltering health care bill, although I'm not sure of why the need for more regulation on the Fed Level... Why do these people not listen to the folks? What is so wrong with free market?Let the insurance industry be allowed to become open to all states, allow each state to regulate the insurance companies, rein in the lawyers...and keep the Feds out of the game.

Thomas Jefferson knew the outcome when he said, "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them". He also said, "My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government." I know that the bureaucracy feeds upon itself, but we need to vote these people out of office who don't heed to the will of the people. It matters not if they think it is for our best interest, because their ideas are based on power and a socialist plan that has never worked favorably in the history of mankind.. The founding Fathers had the idea of a Republic, where only the elected should decide on the direction of our country, but as Benjamin Franklin indicated, our freedom is predicated on personal responsibility....the original intent was based on integrity and decency for the betterment of all...the current leadership has a contrary opinion for our great land...and should be drummed out, never to return again.....

The Tea Party activists must be doing what they hope to have accomplished as the Obama Administration appears to be floundering in their inability to come to a consensus on several major bills. Also, it has gotten the attention of some so-called grass roots groups, in that they are channeling funds from some Left wing organizations to thwart the Right wing "rebellion". Who are the true grass roots people in this country. Those that are trying to forever change the way America governs herself, or the folks that like things pretty much the way they are. We have been easing into a Socialist State for a couple of decades, now. Okay, compassion for the down-trodden is a good thing, but not at the huge, life altering, nation diminishing, futuristic demise of generations to come type of pressure. Let's try not to reinvent the wheel...what is wrong with personal accountability...standing on our own two feet....get the government out of the way of capitalism and we will all prosper.

Where will it turn around?

Hello, I'm John.
This blog is to explore the efforts of our leadership, be they positive or destructive to our Nation. There are many new programs being implemented by the current administration. There seems to be a rash of dollars being created and lavished about, but is the effectiveness worth the indebtedness and is there a glimmer of any positive results. The original concept of the legislators being servants of the voters may have been lost in the overzealous desire to fix a problem. The dilemna is that the underlying issues may be that the fox has been elected to guard the proverbial hen house....more later.
