Democrat + Reform = Government Confiscation of an IndustryDemocrat “reform” of auto manufacturing meant Government Motors and federal control of auto manufacturing. Democrat “reform” of energy means government control of energy. In six months of unbridled Democrat rule, they have grabbed control of banking, investment houses, insurance companies, auto manufacturing and energy. Today’s “party of the people” is all about the federal power, not people power. Obama, Pelosi and Reid will allow NO other options on the table... Democrats are selling the idea that “socialized medicine” is the official limited definition of “health reform.” Can anyone tell me which Washington DC genius decided that totalitarianism was a “progressive” idea? – or show me an example of success in the federal management of anything? They’ve yet to establish a single program that they didn’t immediately bankrupt! It’s not hard to figure out why American citizens are increasingly opposed to ObamaCare, now that they have read Nancy Pelosi’s Heath Scare Plan that no member of congress was going to read. It’s hard to figure out what took them so long to react to federal failures. Members of congress are right on this part. There’s no reason to waste time reading the bill when no matter how it passes or if it passes, they will enforce their Marxist will upon the angry masses, with or without any authority to do so. Since the US Constitution is meaningless to these folks, why should Democrats bother to read the bills they are passing when they are just going to “interpret” those bills any way they want, whether the bill actually passes or not? Any “reform” bill will be a “living breathing document” no more limited by text than the Constitution itself. What’s the point in reading it...? What passes for “reform” in DC today, is blatant insanity. But since it is the work product of the Democratic Socialists of America, via their congressional committees, the Congressional Progressive Caucus and the Congressional Black Caucus, and the political brainchild of Nancy “crazy as an out-house rat” Pelosi, I can’t say I’m shocked. Seriously though, are we really going to limit our choices to “socialist reform” or “no reform” only? Secular socialist confiscation of 1/7th of our economy and the destruction of the best health care on earth – or – nothing at all? Can’t we have a multiple choice discussion here? -- Take a good look at what’s not broken and stop talking about fixing it, so that we can focus on only the few opportunities for improvement that do exist in our current health care system? Why are we only being offered socialism as a choice? Anyone else find that a bit strange? Can anyone offer a single successful example of when the federal government really was the best solution to any problem? We can guess why Obamanation wants to control 1/7th of the U.S. economy. Anyone care to take a stab at why they want federal control over “life and death” decisions for 300 million individual Americans? This thing stinks to high heaven! On the heels of nationalized banking and auto manufacturing, we are supposed to believe that socialism is the most “progressive” idea for reforming a health care system that eighty-five percent of Americans are happy with? As you can see, I have more questions than answers on this subject. But I seem to be the only American writer ready to ask the questions. Every lap-dog news room seems perfectly happy to accept socialized medicine as the only means to reform health care, without raising a single obvious question... The lamestream press is following the pied piper of Marxism just like they followed his campaign for four years, without ever asking once what the mystery messiah meant by “change.” Even now that we can see what he meant by “change” the American press remains in a secular-socialist coma. Are we really going to accept socialized medicine without discussing why it’s necessary, or even why it’s a better option than what he currently have? Forget about a thousand pages worth of details. In this case, the devil isn’t in the details - it’s in the heavily flawed foundational premise that our government is good at running anything. The last hundred years of history have proven that our government is only good at running things into the ground. This is what we want for our health? We are talking about moving 1/7th of the U.S. economy and individual health choices from the private sector to the public sector. We are debating replacing private health care with public health care. Where’s the evidence to suggest that our federal government is the most efficient and effective means of managing anything?
