Healthcare and Government

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.

Wise Words
If ye love wealth more than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our country men.
