“Change” – Did We Really Get Any?
When the current administration took office together with a democratically controlled Congress they promised “change”. Let’s recap what kind of change they promised and just what we got:
1) They promised to end the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, they FAILED.
2) They promised to repeal the Patriot act, they FAILED.
3) They promised transparency in government, but new bills are secret AGAINST congressional rules. They FAILED to bring transparency.
4) The administration appointed czars (?!?) to circumvent congressional oversight, they FAILED to bring transparency.
5) They promised to fix the underlying issues with the housing market, but they FAILED to change the framework of laws that brought us here in the first place. Not a single root cause was corrected.
6) They promised to keep unemployment below 8%, it is now closed to 10% – they FAILED.
Here is what the Administration and Congress did succeed in doing:
1) They increased the national debt by over a trillion dollar.
2) They increased the size of government.
3) They have single handedly crushed the fundamental principals of self correcting capital markets.
4) They now allow people with incurable infectious diseases into the United States.
So – got the change you wanted???
They are now ramming down our throats “health care reform”, which will cost the American people Billions of dollars we don’t have, and reduce our quality of health to that of a third world nation. Health care is NOT a constitutional right! Health care is NOT a god given right! Stealing from hard working Americans in the name of compassion is wrong! Do you want compassion? Get the entitled class off welfare and get them out to work so they carve their own destiny.
The proposed socialized-nationalized government ran health bill will not be budget natural. How can millions of people get coverage for without someone else paying for it? The only way that would happen, is if the Fed is instructed to print money – and we all know the effect that would have. Just a few weeks ago Obama you said in a speech to the Congress that the Health care reform would be “budget neutral”. Today, Representative Pelosi announced that it would be funded with new taxes. I guess this isn’t the first and last time Obama lied.
It’s time the Congress and the Administration start eliminating the national deficit! They did not inherit the $1.4 Billion deficit – they created almost half of it. Blaming the previous Administration is childish and inappropriate of a public servant.
