What is the result of some of the legislation put upon us in
the last few years? Starting with Obama
–care where we now have over 20,000 pages of regulations to try to
understand. Where in the end we will
have just as many people uninsured as before it started. I guess it makes sense, the people who don’t
work for a living will have free health care and those that do work won’t be
able to afford their premiums. For the
average business it will be a real headache just trying to make sense of the
new regulations. Many will trim their
workforce by reducing hours to under 32 to avoid the additional insurance
costs. This is not a greedy move by
employers it’s a matter of survival for many.
For the last few years many companies have just been hanging on and
adding the additional cost with the health care bill will be their demise.
Once again the Republican Party is trying to self destruct. The fight over emigration is just one
example. Something has to be done about
the situation and rather than work out a solution that is the best for the
country, politics is once again rearing its ugly head. The Dem’s aren’t any better, they feel they
have the upper hand and are trying to shove their agenda down everyone’s throat. Just like Obama-care they want to be
everything to everybody and are running us into a giant crevice that is so deep
we can never climb out of it. In all
actuality we have 7 active party’s here in America; The Democrats, the
Republicans, the Independents, the Libertarians, the Liberals, the Communists
and the Conservatives. The Republicans
have been divided by the Conservatives, the Libertarians and the Rino’s. The Democrats have solidified with the
Liberals, the Independents and in many cases the Communists leaving the old
blue collar Dems without a party to associate with.
I never thought that I would live to see the day when Welfare
would be an acceptable way of life to so many Americans. The idea behind these safety net programs was
basically to give people an arm up when they were in distress; it was never
intended to be a way of life. There are
generations of families who have been on assistance for years. Section 8
housing, aid to dependent children, welfare, food stamps, free medical these
are just to a few of the programs available.
Not a bad living for someone who doesn’t want to work. The problem is that we have finally reached
the point where just as many people are on some type of assistance as there are
people working. In 1776 Alexander Tyler
a professor at the University
of Edinborough made this statement: “"A democracy is always temporary in nature;
it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will
continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote
themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.” Sounds
like we have finally reached that point, what’s next besides bankruptcy and
another great depression?
What set me off today is the Presidents declared war on
coal. In my estimation he is just trying
to divert attention from the ongoing catastrophes surrounding his
administration. Mining has been one of
the backbones of our industrial might in America with coal mining near the top and
rather than try to develop a cleaner method of using coal saving thousands of
jobs he once again turns to politics in an attempt to rally his left wing
base. Please, no more Solyndra’s or Chinese solar plants Mr. President,
spend the people’s money on developing our own natural resources and creating new jobs
and saving the few we still have.
That’s
my opinion,
