Victims of Government Shutdown vs Victims of Obamacare

Businessman Thinking on StepsThere are numerous stories about the employees being affected by the government shutdown and we are only two days into their financial nightmare.  Understand that I’m not wishing for, or happy about, anyone losing their income, but wait a minute… the shutdown is only temporary — Obamacare financial losses are long term, if not permanent.  Why aren’t those Obamacare affected employees/former employees as important as the government ones?

Listening to everyone carry on about how unfair this all is, the thought “entitlement” keeps coming to mind.  It’s as though the government employees are entitled to their jobs, though no one else is entitled to theirs.  It’s as though everyone else is considered expendable and simply collateral damage.

I get it.

The news media is headed towards government run organizations.

Government employees are protected, while private sector is destroyed.

Then we come to the government being in complete control of every aspect of our lives and deaths.

Orwellian fiction is fast becoming our 21st Century reality.  And so few seem to notice what is happening around them or realize how they themselves are being led to what to believe and not believe.  As for now, it is a tragedy that the government employees have lost two days of pay, while a shoulder shrug that so many private sector workers have lost their jobs or the hours they were counting on.  Where is the outrage for their long term lack of pay?  Where is the fight to get the job killers talking and fighting to get the private sector workers back on the job?  Oh, that’s right… the job killers are the ones fighting to keep Obamacare intact regardless of what devastation and destruction it causes.

Government workers = entitled to job and pay.

Private sector workers = expendable and entitled to nothing.

This should be all it takes to open the eyes of the willing-blind.  Do you now see by the actual “Victims of Government Shutdown vs Victims of Obamacare” where we have come to be and where we are headed?  We should all be more than a bit concerned.  Is Obamacare, as is, really worth it?

The “Fiscal Cliff” Fall-Out: No Free Ride for Us

by

 

Many of us don’t get to put off paying bills or lift our debt ceiling via threat of throwing a tantrum or simply because we won’t take “no” for an answer.  Most of us have to live by strict rules of paying our bills or paying the price for failure to do so.  Why then does the government get a free ride on their responsibility and leave us negatively affected by their failure to live up to it?

When the dust settles, will the all-knowing supporters of ObamaCare finally see all that was in that bill that they didn’t read or understand?  They, too, should have to shoulder the very same cost the rest of us do and receive medical care equal to the lowliest of citizens.  If it is good enough for us — it is good enough for the government people who forced it upon us.  It’s time they pay for the choices they make, rather than getting the free ride and leaving us stuck with their grievous and unnecessary mistakes.

Maybe if those failing to represent the people have to share in the results of their carelessness and disregard, they will no longer be so careless and have some regard for the outcome.  Maybe then, they will understand the extent and seriousness of the “fiscal cliff” fall-out and come to realize — this isn’t a game!  This is real life with real consequences affecting real people!

Game over.  Time to stop playing make-believe.

The Truth or Not From Senator Reid

by

 

Senator Reid had to get on television today, December 27, 2012, claiming we are headed for the fiscal cliff drop-off and, of course, it is all Rep. Boehner’s fault, when it isn’t simply all the Republicans’ fault. It couldn’t be a bit of liberal or Democrat fault in there, too, for they are the all enlightened and all-knowing, it would seem. And, this is not to mention that it is fine for the president to go on vacation in Hawaii and the Democrats to go home for Christmas, but how dare the Republicans do likewise. Them thar Republicans is bad folks fer doing what them Democrats done did, too. We all know how that works. The goose gets by with everything and the gander gets blamed for it in the world of politics and political posturing.

Reid told us that Mitt Romney didn’t pay taxes for years and demanded that he prove he did. He even used the Senate floor to do this campaign gesture to make Romney look like a tax evader. However, Romney did pay taxes and ole Reid got by with making false allegations. But now we are to believe him. We are to believe that what Reid is saying today is true, even if what he said during the campaign wasn’t. It must be true — it came out of his mouth — right? Wrong, because the deceitful and false comments came out of there as well.

The truth or not from Senator Reid — how can we ever know?

Most Americans Support Obama’s Plan?

I’m a little perplexed.  I read in one of the many articles (from other sources) about the “fiscal cliff“ that most Americans support Obama’s plan.  What plan?  He hasn’t presented a plan.  He has only presented a vague suggestion of making cuts.  So, is this another one of those Pelosi moments, where we have to wait until it is passed to find out exactly what Obama has in mind?

The only “absolute” that I have read and heard reported is that Obama wants to raise taxes on the wealthy.  Is that it?  Is that really all that the plan covers and everything else is baiting?  I can’t help but wonder.  Nevertheless, I would like to know who these people are that are supporting a non-existent or “secret” plan that they know nothing about.  Is this what we call Zombie followings?  One can only wonder and I wonder even more…

Where are these Zombie followers that MSM claims to be most Americans?  I haven’t met a single one.  I find that strange.  If there are so many, how is it that I know none?  That’s right — none!  Not one!  Zero!

As always, it is interesting that the MSM (main stream media) makes bold statements and I can find nothing in real life to support their claim.  Am I so lucky as to live in an area of educated people who are lacking in Zombie-ness or are we getting fed another line of propaganda as the “information control personnel” attempt to recruit more Zombies who simply “think” they are joining the multitude?

I wonder if “most Americans” know they support the invisible Obama plan or if they, too, are wondering where all these people are, since they know none either.  I’m betting they are wondering who these people are as well.  Maybe it’s time we ask louder and demand proof (beyond unreliable polls), rather than taking the MSM and Obama’s word as gospel on these important matters.  Maybe it’s time to return to journalism and investigative reporting.  Where’s the plan and who are these people that hold the title of “most Americans”?
