The Monstrosity That Is.........

Anyone notice how big the centralized government of this country is getting? The U.S. Govt. has never been bigger from the perspective of per capita GDP than at any other time in its history. How in the heck did it get this way? My opinion: Apathetic citizens who are too comfortable to notice the problem. Your thoughts please....

Health Care Reform

Regardless of how you feel about the current health care reform legislation, how do you feel about one party having control of all three branches of government?

Right now, Mr. Obama has a monopoly on the legislative process, the executive as well as the judicial. How long do you think the electorate will allow this to go on? If it is one thing we have seen in the past, one party control of our government is not good for the economy. Healthcare reform is one of those that would not be good for the economy or the general health of our population. When most anything is socialized that has been a part of the "free market" system, we generally see a decline in the ability of the system to sustain at its current level, e.g. decline in quality of the product and quality of the training for people in that industry. If this gets ramrodded through, what would your predictions be?

STATISTICAL IRONY

We are constantly bombarded by "statistics" from politicians. How many of you out there take what politicians share with us as truthful? Before answering please consider first the possible motive (s) for them sharing the statistics in the first place. My question comes from the declaration of President Obama that the stimulus package is working. I am sure he used statistics to justify such a declaration. So what are the motives one has when throwing statistics around?

Extreme Political Change

I don't know how many of you have seen "The Day After Tomorrow", but the recent U.S. Presidential elections reminded me of that movie. Just try and imagine what will happen when the eye of this storm passes over your town or state. We need to get off our collective behinds and elect people who have not lost touch with reality.

If you have a chance watch the above mentioned movie and see if you agree with me at least a little bit.
