Govt' Healthcare Makes Lazy Populace

During my busy day of getting a business off the ground, I took time to talk with a buddy about life in general. During the course of discussions she read to me an article from townhall.com about "Obamacare" creating a group of lazy people. My first response was WTL???!!!??? Who wrote this Regan Era kool-aid waste of space piece of hubris? What in the name of Ronald Regan big biz laissez-faire dumb down of American is the meaning for this writing?

This article is nothing more than a throw back to the Regan era of "Cadillac driving Black welfare queens". Obviously the writer has not had to live on any government assistance in his lifetime.

After becoming ill in 2003, I faced a major change to my financial lifestyle and a change in my thought patterns about lazy people on government assistance. It is impossible to enjoy 3 and 4 star hotels and restaurants while receiving government assistance. The amount of assistance given to families is below poverty level. I can not see anyone in his/her right mind desiring to stay on government assistance in order to have health insurance.

Please do read the article http://townhall.com/columnists/AustinHill/2011/01/23/could_obamacare_kill_the_american_work_ethic

If I am off mark, please let me know. I am always open to learning. I just can not see anyone not working in order to have govt' health insurance.

Maybe I am all alone on this one.

Take me over the cliff - again

I expect many Americans in my fiscal position are fed up with the GOPs continued fight for the rights of the wealthy to pay less in taxes.  I say take me over the cliff.  I recently found a Twitter account regarding the $250K threshold.   Many of the tweets\RTs where describing the hardships of $250K living.   It is time for a reality check across the board in America.    If the grown-ups were honest about this fiscal mess, they would admit the tax cuts must end for all.  The ending should be in stages to reduce the likelihood of the need for public assistance for working\working-poor families.  Although $250K is different for different parts of the U.S.A it does mean you are not in the ghetto. There is no $250K/individual ghetto in America. If you are reading this posting and you know of such a ghetto, please let me know for I need to move to that state.  If taxes go up for individuals making $250K and above they will not face a n...

Y'all should eat my grits no cheese

It is two days after the GOP primary in Mississippi. We are still laughing at Mitt's attempt to cuddle up to us with cheesy grits and a few y'alls thrown in. In my area of Mississippi it is yaw'all(10 second word). Had he come here expecting us to be able to count to 20 without removing our shoes, he may have been taken a little bit more seriously. I am not sure if Mitt's grits ranks with Bush's "this part of the world" statement after Katrina but it ranks. Truthfully, I enjoy cheese in my grits along with garlic and red pepper. However, I do not think my love of grits, a bowl every morning, makes me Southern. Although I was born in Southern California and partially reared in Southern Wisconsin, I consider myself a full blown Mississippian. Along with keeping my grits to myself, I also speak without care of accent. The fact that I can tell you how to get from Memphis to the Coast without using the interstate or Google says I am from Mississippi. ...

We can not afford tax cuts

After the Senate failed twice to make any headway on tax cuts and UI benefits, I took a little timeout from shouting to be silent. I spent 2 hours and 20 minutes being quiet with my son as we watched Harry Potter. Today, I awaken early to get to the store to buy food to aid in my son’s combat of the season’s first cold. During the shopping and the quiet time, I continued to wonder if maybe I am the one missing something. I do not have the alphabet soup behind my name or statistical knowledge, as do those in the Senate. I may be alone in seeing a crisis where there is none. However, just as I thought to put away the shingle of my blog in favor of teaching public school, I got a retweet of a NY Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/05/us/politics/05states.html?_r=1&src=twt&twt=nytimespolitics). Reading the article I was reminded how, my close to retirement age mother, who has advanced degrees, was laid-off as a teacher under the guise of budget cuts from the state....
