Thanks to Mr. Obama, we are closer to socialism than ever before. Granted, George Bush helped add to the biggest government in the nations history. At least it took him 4 years to do it. Obama has TRIPLED the size of government on only 7 months. At that pace, he will have expanded the government by 24 TIMES at the end of his first (and hopefully only) term. I don't care what Bush did, what Obama has done to this point is unbelievable.
I am proud of the American people that they have spoken their mind in this recent healthcare debate. And today, Congress voted down the "public or government run option" Obama so desperately wanted to pass. Without that he doesn't really have much of a platform to stand on moving forward, according to him and Biden. I work in the healthcare industry. With the proposed changes, my industry stands to loose nearly 50 billion dollars over the next 7 years. Because of that, my nursing home alone will have to operate with over 1 million fewer dollars a year. Essentially that means I would have to cut my staff in half to be able to just stay in business over that time frame. Most HEALTHCARE, not insurance, companies operate on razor thin margins. I am lucky to have a profit margin of 5%-10% monthly. Believe me, my expenses are as bare as they can be. Let's just say, Obama will effectively cripple the Long Term care industry. I wonder where he will live when his Alzheimer's disease requires his residence be in a nursing home...Just ask yourself that Barack.
Cap and Trade will also decimate our economy. So far, NO GREEN JOBS have been created as promised by the B. Hussein Administration. Not only that but the estimated cost for each American family would be almost $2000 extra a year. For a country already strapped for cash, it really doesn't seem that this is the best case scenario. McCain really didn't help this cause either. He would've probably been worse for us than Obama has been. That doesn't mean America has chosen the best of two evils, they just chose the more obvious one in Obama.
Don't let up America. Understand that what we do today will dictate how our children will determine their well being in the future. It is imperative we stand for our principles and morals. Don't let Obama take them away from us, because he sure is trying...
Ok Everybody. It is time to re-start the antics of this blog. I sorely miss our bantering back and forth. I am giving everyone a subtle shove in the blog direction. Josh, I promise not to be too offended with your left wingness :) Staff, let's hear the good stuff. Kent, Sueann, anyone else keeping occasional tabs on this blog, it is time to re-engage and let the good times roll. By mid-week, I will have posted something hopefully thought provoking enough to stimulate some kind-of response. I'm sure their are a few things that warrant a conversation out there. Let's hear it...
