Doomed – seriously.
[The following is a tri-focused rant at the economy, the healthcare bill, and the brazen stupidity of current national leadership. Please forgive the mid-stream subject changes.]
I was talking to a friend about the bill health passing today, and he said “… yeah, hang on to your wallet”, to which I replied, “That won’t do any good, what’s in there won’t be worth much before long.”
It’s all the in the name. The so-called “healthcare reconciliation act” is nothing but a major attempt at socialism that will end up being a major torpedo to this country’s economy. Furthermore, it’s another huge hail in the coffin for the US.
This act will not help the poor and disenfranchised that they claim it will. It will simply deflate what wealth and healthcare footprint we do have until there is little to go around for anyone. This is because of the dreadful impact this will have on the already recessed economy. An economy on which our all-wise dictator decided to mortgage by tripling our national debt all in the name of ’stimulus’. I’d like to whisper this news in his ear: “It’s not working.” And now we can’t even make the payments on the interest, let alone the principle.
This all almost makes me wonder if this isn’t a way to force us to make a desperate move. If the economy sags to the point of depression and the financial rating of our country drops, there will be a massive public outcry – mostly because we’re soft and will whine more about the loss of convenience. “Superman” a.k.a. El-Dictator, will have to swoop in with a bold and sweeping solution.
