This administration borders on ludicrous and we are all going to pay an exorbitant price, as are our kids and grandkids. Due to the watchdogs being predominately asleep and the self-serving interests of those in places of power we now have a President, the leader of the most powerful country in this world and Commander in Chief of the most powerful military in this world, whom has little credit for ever having made a decision that he could be held accountable for, taking this wonderful country into harms way that may very well be irrevocable.
He surrounds himself with those with radical and self-serving agendas, circumvents Congress with his unprecedented number of Czars (whose authority authorized their pay grade and the funds to pay them?), paints transparency with multiple layers of opaque paint, through guile and ignorance has allowed his arrogance to make the careers and training of our war Generals irrelevant to the safety of our country and turns a deaf ear to the very ones he was elected to serve.
This key word, ‘serve’, is quickly becoming the first obligation to be tossed aside by those elected to represent us and replaced with ‘self-serving greed’.
Most of us want health reform but the reform we want is for government to get out of the health care business. The PUBLIC OPTION we want is for government to OPT OUT.

Government without The Constitution invites fraud ..
The problem with national health care, surprise, is the federal government. With Uncle Sam paying the bills the fraud options would entice an angel. Fraud (obviously) runs up medical bills. Government intervention/social programs promotes fraud. Ergo, get the federal government out of the social program business and let the free enterprise market work. The same argument could be made in most all areas of government involvement in the private sector.
The Constitution was written in such a way as to be very clear to all without the thousands of pages of legalese that serves little other than to befuddle the those that actually try to read said legalese. Add to this the dereliction of duty by those entrusted to represent us in a professional, honorably ethical manner and DON’T READ PROPOSED LEGISLATION and you make a serious argument for term limits.
This Obama health care plan will (for the most part) negatively impact every working taxpayer and small business in this country. Once in place we will be saddled (forever) with the ensuing government manipulation of our personal health care issues and the guaranteed rising costs of our medical coverage due to the inevitable fraud.
A note to our representatives: If you have not read (and understand) any bill placed before you for approval then you must in good conscience vote NO.
The scariest part of this Obama health care plan is the history of the current national health care plans of other states and countries. None has yet to product a success story.

Government bureaucracy ..
Anyone that has had to deal with bureaucracy at any level has faced the frustration that makes healthcare tied to the government a really poor decision. Medicare patients have to have a supplemental policy to cover what Medicare will not cover and some doctors will not take Medicare. Texas low income families on the state CHIPS childcare program also find that some medical facilities will not take CHIPS patients, their complaint being that the state is not paying them. CASH FOR CLUCKERS has some dealers on the ropes due to the bureaucratic maze that makes it agonizingly slow to get paid by government bureaucracy. Bureaucracy at work.
Government bureaucracy moves very slowly, a very powerful argument against national health care. That’s not the only argument. The track record of waste and fraud in government is irrefutable. Bureaucracy survives on the sweat of the working American, an apparent endangered species due to the antics of current government.
It would seem to be treasonous to vote for legislation one has not bothered to read (and understand) when they are elected to represent us. This is at the very least unethical and might should make one liable in a civil suit. Setting precedents by circumventing The Constitution to the point of Its’ irrelevancy should wake up The Supreme Court. No, we do not need any level of government bureaucracy tied to our health care. Tort reform and malpractice insurance limits makes much more sense, and may even be constitutional.

A mandate?? NOT!!
A mandate must be something you get when you win an election by a mere 4%, as that is the difference in the popular vote for Obama, yet he calls it a ‘mandate’, justification for all he is doing that has become so unpopular with those that pay taxes.
Note: One could win each state by ONE vote therefore getting ALL electoral college votes, haled as a LANDSLIDE when, in actuality, the win was by a 50 vote margin, a LONG WAY from a landslide mandated victory. Unrealistic but possible. The point is simply that, out of the less that half of the registered voters that voted, he collected a miserly 4% majority. AND….more voters stayed home than voted. Apathy? The price is paid by all..

Playing us for fools ..
If one were to look at the costs of the various government programs and departments one would find that the illegal alien use of our social programs costs American taxpayers far more than both battle fronts of this War on Terror.
If one were to look at Social Security one would find that our government has allowed these illegal aliens to tap into a fund into which they have never paid a nickel.
They cannot write a health bill that will not take care of the illegal aliens. They are already written into the system. The proof lies in the waiting rooms of The Social Security Administration Building and the emergency rooms of our hospitals.
Maybe they should read The Constitution, a relative simple document that is sheer genius in it's simplicity and was written without the need for 'legalese' by men that were real men, a bit of a rarity today.

Name the names..
You hear in all the conservative news programs about the irresponsible massive amounts of pork gorged on by our elected representatives. It would be much more productive to report the names, to point out just who has injected just what self-serving expenditures in proposed legislation.
I personally think our members of Congress should all be required to attend a seminar on the meaning of ‘responsibility’, just what it means to be elected to ‘represent the people’, that the government ‘has no money of it’s own’, that it’s taxpayers money and to respect that FACT. We’d be much better off if they would simply leave our money alone and go home. Without their insidious meddling (which is the root cause of this governmental mess) the economy would take care of itself, the market would surface and we would all be the better for it.
Term limits, required Social Security participation, and no retirement plans would solve an incredible amount of the issues we have with our government.

In Proper Perspective
To put this in proper perspective; saving 250 million out of a trillion dollar budget is like saving twenty-five cents out of a thousand dollar bill. We should be so impressed. For the federal government to tell us that they will save 250 billion out of a trillion dollar budget is a pipe dream. That would be a 25% savings. Do any of us really believe the government can actually save 25% of anything? A trillion is a million million. We simply cannot afford trillion dollar budgets or multiple trillions of dollars of indebtedness. Sadly, we are already there and getting worse daily.
We need to get the federal government out of our lives. Case in point is the relationship of our schools to federal tax monies. Our schools have sold their souls to, and are held hostage by, federal tax dollars. A simple example is the attendance requirement. To qualify, schools must adhere to strict attendance levels to the point that has little connection to common sense.
Parents get threatening letters and seniors are threatened with an ineligibility to graduate, not based on grade average but on attendance levels. No matter that the students have made up the work and passed the required tests. All of that takes a back seat to attendance. One can have a perfect grade average, miss too many days (excused or unexcused, does not matter) and suffer through no diploma.
On the other side of this arrogance is the force used toward teachers by, first the coaches, then the principal, to pass failing athletes. Tied to federal tax monies? Probably.
