So, “health care” passes, as you knew it would. Are you happy about that?
Are you happy with the deficit? You and I complained about the Bush deficit, and the way government grew and spent money. But you aren’t saying much these days. Why? Are you happy with all the bribes, earmarks, and payoffs it took to get this done? You and I complained about the political shenanigans during the past administration. But you’re pretty quiet these days. Why? And we complained about what looked like corporate welfare in the past. But you haven’t been complaining about the payoffs to the drug companies and the insurance companies and the unions. Why?
We heard a lot about “bipartisan” this and that over the previous 8 years, and lots of complaining about Bush not listening to the Democrats. I’m not seeing the current administration being any better. And I can’t say I’m all that impressed with how either government listens to the people. Are you?
I had expected to hear a lot of political talk at parties and gatherings this holiday season, and I have to say, I was dreading what I expected to be a lot of gloating from my left leaning friends, family, and acquaintences. I was pleasantly surprised to find that most of them aren’t any more thrilled by all of this than I am. Intelligent people on both sides of the political spectrum can see what has been going on, and they can see what the future holds if all of this continues…
Are you ready to join us? No, I don’t mean changing sides, although that might be a thought. I mean, it’s no longer so much Republicans vs Democrats anymore, except in D.C. I see it more as big government vs the people, and the entire “health care” debacle is my #1 exhibit. So, whose side are you on, the people’s or the politicians’? Just how big of a government do you want? Where’s your line in the sand, and what are you going to do about it?
