A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush…

I am paying for all of families healthcare out of pocket. Including my ten year old. I am paying SO much in medical, I would say its more then our food bill every month. I am drowning in medical debt with absolutly no light at the end of the tunnel. I make too much money for anyone to help me. It just doesnt seem right. And then I help some of our single moms with childcare and get to hear how the rent is 80 dollars and medical is free.Am I being punished for getting my ducks in a row? I was better off when I made nothing and everything was handed to me.

What is wrong with this picture?

Then the “promises” were broken.

All the money WE PAID was stolen and placed into the general fund.

And it’s still being stolen every day by both parties. And yes, they are having a party on social security funds.

They give it to anybody that can qualify, and the qualifications are so low that even illegal aliens that have never paid a dime can get full benefits.

May or may not be the same person, but they share the same failed ideology of “let the government be my mommy”.

He thinks he doesn’t cost anybody anything for the government to “provide” everything, but the truth is that the “government money” is stolen at gun point and the threat of imprisonment from the producers of this country.

The “safety net” he is so concerned about was, traditionally the “private, religious charitable organizations”, until the federal government threw the Tenth Amendment out the window and regulated those organizations into near oblivion.

The federal government is now the mommy, and doesn’t require anybody, legal Citizen or not to perform any task to get thousands of dollars in freebies.

A single mother on the various welfare programs decides she wants an increase in benefits, she just gets pregnant again. POOF!!! instant rewards.

Want disability payments for your kids? Teach them to be stupid and claim ADD. POOF!!! instant payoff.

Stub your toe at the doctors office? Sue for a few million dollars.

Would you like to see lower medical bills, and insurance premiums?

Push for tort reform, and place limits on attorney payoffs from lawsuits.

John Edwards, the presidential wanna be got a lot richer than any of the “victims” he represented in court.

Want more money in your pocket?

Push for the Fair Tax pushed by Boortz and company.

Want less government intrusion in your life?

Push for a Tenth Amendment requirement on every bill in Congress.

Don’t know what the Tenth Amendment does?

Read the Constitution. It’s not taught in public schools for a reason.

To keep you ignorant.

And finally, John B.

I did not have a “safety net” when life handed me a bushel basket full of lemons.

I made lemonade.

I may have some severely limiting medical problems, but I’m one of the producers you want to pay for all your living expenses.

I’m not “rich”, but you still want into my pocket for the money that I EARNED.

You asked for my idea?

Get off your tired old butt and make better decisions for the rest of your life and leave my life alone.

I present facts and you immediately go on the offensive and attack me personally.

Why is that? Do you subscribe to the theory that it’s better to kill the messenger than listen to the message?

I’m “knowledgeable” about the past because I lived through it. By living through it, memories were created.

I live in the present.

I keep trying to explain why things are the way they are, but the realities of the situation do not support your political positions.

But do you listen? No.

Have you learned anything? Obviously not.

I do find your tirades somewhat interesting, but civil discourse is always preferable.

If you can find an intelligent position to discuss from, please let me know.

Thank You so much.

Socialized medicine at work already.

” Surely there’s a better way. ”

There is.

” fear mongering and the resultant pants-wetting and hand-wringing rule the day. ”

And that would be the democrat party.

We have medicare, medicaid, medigap, social (in)security, welfare, food stamps, etc ad nauseum, because that is what the democrat party shoved on us when they had enough power during the 40’s through the 80’s.

During 1968, under the johnson administration they broke the social security trust fund and rolled every dime of surplus into the general fund specifically to buy votes from everybody they could think of to give a new government program to.

The democrats even found a neat way to make social security payments to the elderly taxable. Taxed when they first earned it, and taxed when they got it back without interest.

It was the democrats that decided to punish the elderly by limiting how much they could earn after retirement before they started deducting money from their retirement checks. Thereby guaranteeing an impoverished elderly class totally dependent on the government and the socialist programs.
