Healthcare and Government

PostDateIcon December 18th, 2009 | Author: JBH

What is happening to our congress?  It has come to a point where governing is no longer even an element of their day-to-day job.  The Healthcare bill in the senate is the most recent example and hopefully, the last.  Christmas, Christmas, Christmas!!!  We must pass this by Christmas!!!  Why?

This entire process is being driven by emotion rather than reason.  “What item do we need to include to get you to accept this other item?” is all they ask.  No matter the true cost, no matter who it impacts and how.  These people are making a mockery of our system.  All so that they can stroke their ego on how important they are and how they can make “big” decisions.

That is all crap.  They want the headline, no matter if it helps or hurts the bottom line.  Deadly Sins: 2 (Pride, Extravagance), American People: 0.

  • “A Capitalist Manifesto

    Where are the champions of free-market capitalism? Someone needs to remind us all that two great works were published in 1776, both representing game-changing advances in human freedom: The Declaration of Independence, authored by future American president, Thomas Jefferson, and "The Wealth of Nations" by Scottish economist Adam Smith. Both embrace the social wisdom of individual liberty; both extol the importance of personal responsibility.”

    If you thought Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme was bad, wait until you hear about the inverted pyramid scheme the federal government is working on. While Mr. Madoff preyed on people who trusted him with their money, the federal government has everyone's money, and the implications of its actions are worse.”

  • “Freedom Means Responsibility


    Nearly 16 years ago in these very pages, I wrote that "'one-size-fits all' rules for business ignore the reality of the market place." Today I'm watching some broad rules evolve on individual decisions that are even worse.

Wise Words
“Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals- that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government- that it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government.”
by Ayn Rand
