Liberty is Life - Liberty is Life

Amazing stupidity!

October 14th 2009 13:53
Does anyone really believe that Sen Baucus Health Care plan is going to REDUCE the deficit? If you do, then I have some land I would like to sell you that's going to be worth a fortune someday!
When has the Federal government EVER done anything more effectively than the private sector? I know of no instances where it has happened. Government programs are ALWAYS full of fraud and cost overruns. ALWAYS! It's interesting to read the headlines about these bills. They are fraught with words like 'rushing' and 'hurrying' and 'quickly'. Why would any of these words be applicable to a bill that is THOUSANDS of pages long and quite the most complex piece of legislation every attempted? Legislation like this is going to be a train wreck if only because of the rush to get something in place, as opposed to taking a few years to develop it and think it through.

If the Congress somehow gets something passed, it will be a very dark legacy they leave behind them. First, the legislation is unconstitutional because it REQUIRES BY LAW that everyone carry health insurance. Where's the freedom? What if my religion prohibits me from seeking medical treatment? The government would be REQUIRING me to go against my religious beliefs, which in this case are not all that unreasonable.
Second, the only reason the bill appears to be able to reduce the deficit is through some bookkeeping sleight of hand by Sen. Baucus and his crew. The true cost is not 0, but over 2 TRILLION dollars!
There are a plethora of reasons this is wrong, and if just that fact alone doesn't dissuade you from supporting this botched plan, then you deserve what you are going to get.
