umm...right now, one sixth of all the income going to the people is coming from those government benefits....it has doubled since the financial crisis
has hit. it's more than illegals draining the system...there's alot of unemployed people out there. add to that the fact that many of those baby
boomers lost their life savings (retirement) savings...well, now isn't the time to call for the cutting of these programs.....and the illegals in the
system, I don't think would make that big of a difference in most of the country.
but, what does it take to convince the people in the government that we, the normal taxpayer just CAN'T afford all this?? I know what the mom who
posted a few posts up is talking about, I've been in the exact same position, and well, right now, I am insured but well... I am an honest person, I
will admit it... I can't afford to get treatment when I need it!! so, well, the government, in their bought off insanity, is gonna force her to
insure her daughter? are they gonna force me to run up my debt getting a bunch of preventative treatments that I don't feel is as necessary to be
done as those health problems I have that are interferring with my ability to function normally in today's society? All the while, will I see taxes
being slapped onto everything under the sun to keep a healthcare system that has some serious flaws built within doing business as usually...which
means...well, I can continue ingnoring lumps in my stomach, feet that tend to lock up while I walk, and well, whatever other problem that might occur,
simply because I am neither that rich or that poor?
the company I worked for is doing all it can to provide us with the crappy insurance policy that we have, and well, this year has not been that good!!
they basically been providing what has been part time employees with those what would normally be considered full time benefits. they are trying to
do their job as an employer.....it's the danged government that is failing to their job as the government, they are too busy doing all those other
things that really don't fall into the realm of government work! try some regulations directed at the healthcare industry designed to get the cost
down!!! what the heck, they found a way to cap the salaries in the big financial companies, they all but took over the car manufacturers.
they've proven that they can do it!!
we probably have more money flowing into the healthcare system, medicare, medicaid, schips, drug companies, gov't employee healthcare packages,
medical training schools, research facilities, and whatever else than we put into those other businesses....
really, I am sorry to see all this happen, but well......
got a feeling this IS where it's leading to...
where ever the gov't money is flowing, or will soon need to flow, well, our government has just assumed the right to use that money as a
justification to move in and well, start dictating.....
that money flows far and wide...
just like I got a feeling that well, the car companies, although not in a healthy state by any means, was deliberately delivered it's
deathblow.....(not by just the dems and obama, but by the republicans and bush administration also!!!).....
just so the government can start telling them what to produce...
what, you actuallly think that the government wants them to produce cars??? na....try bombs, missles, and other war toys...
of course, for a price that our broke government can afford....
