Breaking news: Obama's HealthCare plan is not generating the public support it once had. Of course, this should be no more of a shock than finding out that Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz actually did take steroids...but I digress.
Apparantly, Congress hasn't received the same message as they continue to ramrod bad policy down our throats (despite the endorsement from the once-liked, now evil Blue Dog's - I turn on a dime).
Having seen NOTHING of the plan, I can guarantee (compliance officer be darned) that the plan if passed will consist of the following: 1) Cost savings/ tax savings will be aired but will never be quantified 2) The quality of medical care will decrease 3) Other social welfare programs will suffer due to the limited supply of money to run the programs (reminded of Billy Preston's voice stating 'Nothin from Nothin leaves Nothin').
It perplexes me (not really, I understand he is grandstanding to gain all the popularity he can while his approval rating is the highest) why our President is deciding to 'Hang His Hat' on this agenda despite ALL of the other issues surrounding our country.
For example, ummm, our stock market almost imploded, our currency is being traded at the lowest level in its history, the Chinese are hinting that they don't like the way in which we are treating their $800 billion in treasuries (I don't blame them), North Korea isn't listening to the Clintons, Israel is getting ready to blow-up Iran, bank failures are rising, banks aren't lending to other banks, unemployment will certainly reach 10% by year end, BUT..... its domestic health care that's the most important and pressing issue for Congress before they take a month off in August????
I suppose I can take solace in the fact that the Twins swept the White-Sox at home, the Vikings signed an OU right tackle, and the Dodgers are in first place. How could life be any better?
Grace & Peace
