Instead of filing for Chapter 11 to sort out there mess on their own, they had to run to Washington with their hat in hand and Bush was happy to help. Now a new Sheriff is in town with a Socialist/Fascist agenda to push and now there will be Hell to pay with a ripple effect for all of Us. Don't think Obama will be content to stop with the Banking Industry and the Auto Industry. Next up: Health Care.
Already started. The tobacco tax increase that will start on Wednesday. (increase from $0.39 to $1.10)
The money that is made from that will go to fund the "lower class" people that make too much to be on medicare but "can't afford health insurance" to be put on a gov. run healthcare like medicare. The thing that pisses me off about it is, I would be able to get health insurance through this program, but I pay for my own health insurance through my work.
This program is going to basically help the dead beats that all the other new programs are helping. The ones who got mortgages they can't afford, etc. This money is going to help people that make up to $140,000 a year (lower class?, really?).
I don't make even close to half of that, but I live within my means and pay for my health insurance.
You know this is a way for the gov. to speed up the completely Gov. run health care plan that Oblama preached about when he was running. But like I've said before, ask Britain how well thats working out for them. They have more people dying in hospitals from staph infections and things they can't afford to treat because of Gov. regulations.
