ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS

As I was sitting here, I had some more thoughts about Healthcare and the current path of our Country, as it is being taken forward by the current Government. The first thought that came to mind is if things are so bad with the current healthcare system, then why more people aren’t up in arms. This seems like an issue that deserves one of the biggest dialogues in US history. It seems to me that the people in Leadership want to push through their ideas without consulting with the people most affected. The leaders should have to go on the same program they institute. In that case, we would have more open and honest dialogue. They don’t care because they have the best healthcare and have no issues. If a Congressman needs medical attention, then no expense will be spared. How much help would Ted Kennedy be getting if he was under UK style health care. Probably he would be told to go home and die peacefully. Government rationing has run amuck in the UK. I am totally against euthanasia and any other rationing that values one life over another. We are all born with equal rights not guaranteed equal results. As Nancy Pelosi pushes for a vote this week before the August recess, I demand to know what the rush is. Stop Nancy……tell us what you’re hiding. The American people must know what is in the bill and all Congressional Members need to go home and listen to their constituents. They might just find out that you and they are thinking wrong. Again, I am not saying we don’t need change, I am saying we need to be smart and complete with our decisions. Open dialogue will ensure every possible alternative is presented. Keep the open market and competition in the industry. Help America stay on top as the leader in Medicine and Healthcare. We have the best doctors and nurses in the world.

On another note, President Obama, think before you speak. You are taking on too many issues at one time. Stay out of local police issues. There are things that must be resolved at the appropriate levels. State and local authorities understand the issues and are more closely aligned with the right actions to take. They are human just like you and that is why I am giving you the benefit of the doubt (right now) that you were just making your opinion known in regards to an issue involving a close friend. This is another reason we all should pay attention to our friends and watch vigilantly the words they say. Our friends and family are part of us and define who we are. We are the company we keep and your track record is not looking so good right now. Having a beer is a cool idea since you’re trying to make up for the remarks you made in your recent press conference. Again think before you speak, sir.

The economy continues to be in dire straits. We must stop the spending. Did you know the amount the government has spent in stimulus money is equal to one and half year’s worth of tax revenue? They could have just given us a tax holiday for a year and a half. Just think what the economy would look like if we all had no taxes for a year and a half. Amazing. Simply Amazing. Money would be flowing and the recession would be over. We can only dream that our elected officials would be that smart. Make sure you continue to follow the choices the government makes.

Common Sense needs to come back to America. I am currently reading Common Sense by Glenn Beck. I should have it finished in the next week. I will begin on a regular basis posting my feelings and comments about things he has said. In the meantime, please pick up a copy for yourself and read it. This way we can have an open and honest dialogue and we will all be equal footing.

Remember if you have any topics or ideas you would like to talk about please let me know.
