This health care reform debate is really getting on my nerves. It is said that "People who fail to learn from the mistakes of the past are bound to repeat them." This is certainly true when it comes to those in Washington as we see the liberals are bound and determined to gobble up more of our freedoms by expanding the government services into the field of health care. It's not bad enough that they have Social Security going broke and Medicare is running out of money, now they want to take over the best health care the world has ever known and mess it up as well by allocating another 1 trillion dollars of borrowed money to fund it!
One "Government Program" (that we hear almost nothing about) is the Department of Energy which the Carter Administration said was "necessary to lessen our dependence on foreign oil!" This agency was established 33 years ago, in 1977, when the U.S. consumption of foreign oil was at 30%. Now, it is 2010, 33 years later and the budget for this "Necessary" department of our ever expanding government is costing us $24.2 billion a year, they have 16,000 federal employees and also hire approximately 100,000 contract employees and what have they accomplished? Today our consumption of foreign oil has more than doubled to 70% of our oil consumption which is now coming from foreign imports.
In this health care reform program, they want to take $500,000,000.00 of money that most of us have contributed over our lifetime to Medicare (it is taken right out of our gross pay each week) and give it to people that have yet to contribute the first dime to the fund, and that's not the end of it. Big brother has already taken over the auto industry, the banking system and now the liberals want to do the same thing with health care. My suggestion is that America wakes up or the America that we all have known and enjoyed is gone forever!
Helloooooo, Anybody home?
