Here Comes the Flood
So ObamaCare has passed. It’s surreal. This is like a flashback in a post-apocalyptic film, the slow-motion-collapse-before-the-bomb moment where it’s still possible to deny what is happening.
One doesn’t need logic to understand “slippery slope” – all that is needed is any landslide scene in a RoadRunner cartoon. Sadly this bill overtly leeches so much power, it expands to more than a “slippery slope” and encompasses hitting the bottom in a broken heap. It’s the entire experience of “slippery slope” with the added bonus of end-game: disaster.
“The United States Congress finally declared that America’s workers and America’s families and small businesses deserve the security of knowing that here in this country neither illness nor accident should endanger the dreams they worked a lifetime to achieve,” Obama said. There is something fundamentally insidious about that sentence. Like “Here is the gun I am going to shoot you with.”
With ObamaCare we get more government red-tape, LESS bang for our buck, and rationed care. What’s next? We acknowledge and move on accordingly. The next few days may be full of show and clamor, but ‘change’ has been a long time comin’. Overtly with Obama’s election, and covertly with Dr. Spock. (Aw come one. Admit it. Tinfoil-hat jokes aside, you always knew there was something wrong with the entire Dr. Spock schtick. Right?) And next comes November 2010. (Okay, who am I fooling? We are doomed.)
Am wondering today what life will be like under this new medicine. It won’t be as disastrous as Republicans claim. It won’t begin to help people the way the Democrats claim. I suspect that the biggest problem we’re going to have with it is… it’ll confirm for us once again just how lazy and insolent tens of millions in this country have become as they run up the bills on medical care because, well, it’s free, and, well, they can. We’ll have “why does a dog lick himself” healthcare…
ObamaCare is a disaster as Republicans claim. Last night, we watched the House of Representatives, which is out of touch with the American people and only 11% approval rating approved it. If signed, we will see reduced access, rationed care, and increased cost as the video stated. Five years ago, I listened to the disaster forecast from the Social Security Trust Fund trustee about U.S. entitlement programs and their eventual bankruptcy. Today, I was reading the U.S. is at risk of losing a AAA credit rating due to their rapid increase of borrowing and debt.
