Most people believe we are in economic crisis. Politicians, both left and right, agree that all levels of government are going broke. I no longer believe we are in crisis. Every level of government is figuring out ways to get more of our money. As long as we have money, the government will never be in real crisis. Disaster comes when individuals and businesses no longer have money to tax. (more…)

Can Republicans Do Anything But Whine?
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010Memo to republicans – the healthcare bill passed and now all Americans have to pay for it. It does not matter if it works or not. It will go through changes, but it is reality. Like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, it will be here long after we are gone. (more…)
Are You “Giddy” Over Healthcare?
Friday, March 19th, 2010Rep. James Clyburn said this week he was “giddy” over the report from the CBO. The bean counters said the big healthcare bill will cost just under a trillion dollars and reduce the deficit at the same time. That’s like telling me you saved the family money by buying a dress on sale. (more…)
Can Anyone Answer These Healthcare Questions?
Monday, March 15th, 2010I was debating healthcare with one of my liberal friends and it dawned on me, neither one of us has a clue as to what the bill really means. Like our congressmen, we have not read it or seen it. We only know the talking points we hear from both sides. There are some real questions that should be answered. Here is a list of mine. (more…)
Is Anyone Sick of the Healthcare Bill and Reconciliation?
Friday, March 5th, 2010The future of healthcare in America now depends on parliamentary procedure. This is the problem with government controlled anything. The word of the day is no longer surgery, healing, or medicine. Healthcare now depends on “reconciliation”. Isn’t it ironic that reconciliation in congress means that democrats must divorce themselves from the republicans on this issue? This stuff makes me sick! (more…)
What is the Forgotten Healthcare Issue?
Friday, February 26th, 2010I watched President Obama’s health summit for as long as I could. I didn’t see beer so I assume it was a water and lunch summit. During periods of boredom I would search online as each politician would give their talking points. Did you know that every state has a department to regulate and control the health insurance industry? (more…)
Is There an Exit Strategy in the Healthcare Plan?
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010A healthcare plan is going to be passed. Obama’s future depends on it. It will be the end of his second term before knowing if it works or not. The promise of insurance to the 31 million people currently uninsured, will not be fulfilled for years. What if the plan does not work? (more…)
Is Adding 3 Inches Covered in Healthcare Bill?
Thursday, January 21st, 2010Almost everyday I get ads sent to my email offering pills that will grow my manhood an additional 3 inches. Thinking about the ongoing serious healthcare debate, it makes me ponder some questions. It’s also time to take a humorous look at an odd healthcare possibility. And we know how important sex is in Washington. (more…)
Is Anyone Open to New Healthcare Ideas?
Sunday, January 17th, 2010Tax reform, ethics reform, welfare reform, and a host of other reforms keep politicians spinning. Now they are in the final stages of the holy grail of reforms – healthcare. When government reforms anything the results are greater costs and more complicated processes. These results will be horrifying to the healthcare system. There must be a better way. (more…)
Healthcare Question – Can Uncle Sam Outperform Sam Walton?
Tuesday, January 5th, 2010Since Barack Obama has been president the government has taken over auto companies and banks. Now our democrat leaders hope to give the government the biggest industry yet – healthcare. They say private insurance companies are only interested in profit, and thus, incapable of managing healthcare needs and priorities. In other words, Uncle Sam’s business model can outperform Sam Walton’s in meeting the needs of people. (more…)
