Congressional Holiday destroys health care reform.
Posted on 14. Aug, 2009 by scott in economic daydreaming, political munglings
Two weeks ago, I said that the vacation Congress takes every August would prove the end to Obama’s vaunted effort to reform health care.
If you have been listening or watching the news the past week then you will see the results of our ‘leaders’ holiday romping.
Anger, frustration, and confusion abound.
Nobody is home in the Capitol to deal, generally anyway, with the many falsehoods and misrepresentations that the enemies of Democrats have promulgated. Nor to offer any sensible alternative from the other side of the aisle.
Now, I am no friend of the Dem’s efforts to socialize our nation, and that is what is seems they are trying to do. But, I am also no friend of the incompetent handling of issues that has become the trademark of Republicans.
Dang, I wish we had a real third party choice in this country. Crap, I wish we could just throw all the bums out and start over.
Lincoln is turning over in his grave at what the Repubs have become.
Truman and Roosevelt are crying in their Apple-Beer at what the Dems are NOT.
And what happens?
Our celebrity President is beginning to find out that early popularity is not enough to carry the day on every single issue he has ever dreamed up.
At the end of the day, American’s will be left with the same ‘ol broken health care system that requires me to spend more every year for health insurance than it costs to buy a good car! And I am one of the lucky ones. At least I have insurance.
Am I frustrated?
Dang right.
What we have doesn’t work and what is proposed is frightening to the electorate. Does anybody out there speak English?
And we are going to be left with the status quo.
Canada is looking like a good option.
Can I join the Cannucks (he said lovingly)? And still live in America?
Guess not.
Thanks for screwing this up Congress and Obama.
I blame every single one of you and I think the rest of my country-men will too.
Four years for you Obama.
One term for the rest of you nuts.
Remember, I have been advocating term-limits for, well, like EVER!!
No picture today. I couldn’t even bear trying to find one that describes how I feel on this awful Friday the Fourteenth.
