Panic vs Optimism
It has been absolutely stunning (and not in a good way) how this current administration has had their way, passing legislation that has headed this country in a very dangerous path.
- passing trillion dollar legislative bills with the majority of those voting admitting they have not read them
- the administration urges these changes using a panic mentality “do this or catastrophe!”
- 85% of Americans that have heath care are satisfied with their coverage yet this Administration uses the cost of health care as the primary fiscal “bad guy”, inferring if fixed, life will be good again
- NY and CA are talking about a tax rate as high as 58% for some citizens
This is crazy.
This administration is using scare tactics to enable passage of a universal health care bill. Apparently ANY universal health care bill. Everyone I know, agrees that people should not be bankrupted by catastrophic illness. Why not start there by protecting people from those.
I mean, we don’t want to study what was wrong or right about the MASS plan?
Creating a universal health care system that is government run can not be the solution to our financial problems. This Administration hates business (large and small), rich people, and most especially pharma and insurance companies. A cadre of Community Organizers can’t have the vision to solve this problem.
Now BHO is saying everyone must be optimistic. hello?
Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.
There is plenty of evidence to show tax increases do not increase tax revenue.
On one hand raising panic to pass huge state or personal entitlement bills, then later urging optimism about this country’s future with the bloat of debt – is an abomination, it’s idiotic and speaks to the dysfunction that we are seeing at all levels of this country.

Please let this be true.
