Healthcare Reform My Foot!


Good Morning all of you inquisitive minds out there in the free world; your King of Simple News is on the air.

The last post on yesterday’s article by George was revealing of a condition that has existed for some time. The government is going to extend unemployment in every manner possible to quell the uprising of the restless natives.

Robert Hickerson knew of what he spoke in 1994 when he said, “All attempts to reduce the deficit, balance the budget or pay off the national debt are futile. The deficit and the national debt represent the subsidy the government has paid in its attempt to keep growth and unemployment at the level of social tolerance.”

If you read between the lines, little by little, the American Dream is being reduced to a day dream. Here one moment, gone the next.

We are slowly being prepared for high unemployment to be with us for a very long time. We are being coaxed to continue working well beyond the expected 62 or 65 years old in order to let government off the hook for all the false promises that they have made.

Healthcare reform? Not really, it’s actually government irresponsibility reform. Medicare and Medicaid were never mathematically possible long term, and now the chickens are coming home to roost. Obama said yesterday that if the healthcare bill doesn’t pass, Medicare and Medicaid will bankrupt the federal government. So in order not to bankrupt the federal government, the federal government will bankrupt the American people.

What we really have is a transfer of the last bastion of wealth from the American citizens who were promised long term healthcare. When you promise something that was never possible, you gotta un-promise at some point and time. Now’s the time.

Once everyone is mandated by penalty of law to have medical insurance, the government has simply transferred the cost of healthcare to the remaining working people. It’s a shake down.

In short, this whole thing about healthcare isn’t about healthcare; it’s about saving the federal government from certain bankruptcy. Since those who make the rules work for the federal government, saving the mother ship is mission number one.

As my friend Doug says, “The lower the lifeboat sinks in the water; the fewer friends you have onboard.”

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a new Harvard study come out concluding that unemployment has been determined to be beneficial for children, as it leaves a previously working adult in the home at all times. “Home,” in this instance, is directly interchangeable with “tent.”

Such a study could then be taken to mean that living in a tent is superior to your former three bedroom two bath home as the benefit to children certainly trumps personal comfort. The new slogan will be, “It takes an entire tent city to raise a child.” Hey, they believed the healthcare reform scam didn’t they?

As an aside…Robert Hickerson’s quote, “The deficit and the national debt represent the subsidy the government has paid in its attempt to keep growth and unemployment at the level of social tolerance.”

The elites in this country have known this all along. They have known; at least since the Great Depression, that consumer spending alone would be insufficient to keep the economy from slipping into another depression. It has been one of their greatest fears that another depression would spell the end of Capitalism.

Their solution was incremental government spending to make up the short-fall in consumer spending that would keep the economy humming along.

This has been done with social programs, but also to a great extent with wars. Wars are good for the economy, and our Capitalist economy couldn’t exist without a perpetual state of war. Even with it we have now “hit the wall” on debt and spending. So much for human intelligence and morality - just another one of our delusions.

Regarding Mike’s central theme of Healthcare Reform. What system do we know of that reforms itself from the inside out? I can’t think of any. As I see it, true reform can only come from outside the system.

As Mike has suggested, this is just another way to continue robbing the populace blind. Unfortunately, too many people will think some progress has been made.

If I am in control, why would I unilaterally give up my advantage for the benefit of others? Humans simply aren’t genetically wired for that kind of altruistic behavior. This the same Congress that has been screwing us all along, why would they suddenly change their stripes?

Look at the particulars of the plan and see who is benefiting from this. I think you will find the money still leads back to the same players, but now it will just go through a different channel.

Thanks Greg, I appreciate your views coming from a slightly different slant.

If the healthcare system were not in crises, if it were no capable of bringing down the mother ship, we wouldn’t hear a peep out of Congress. As you stated, “Humans simply aren’t genetically wired for that kind of altruistic behavior.”

I’m off to the shop, have at everyone…what do you think?
