People, wake up: this bill has absolutely nothing to do with the care of our health.
This is a stealth tax increase to pay for the trillions in bailout dollars that have been heaped upon the backs of Americans for the past 24 months.
This is precisely why Obama was been focused with laser beam precision on health care ever since he stepped into office instead of focusing on the problem that every American is obsessed with: jobs. His one and only concern has been how to avert the effects of his spending in the short term in order to (a) keep his party in office through 2010 and (b) with lots of luck and a few miracles, get him re-elected in 2012. Sadly for these jokers, I suspect they will fail on both counts.
This is also precisely whey the costs of this bill are being front-loaded for 4 years. Would you pre-pay co-pays to your doctor for 4 years? No. By the time 2014 rolls around, our debt will be so severe that there’s no way in hell there will be any money left in the health care *lockbox*. Peter will be robbed to pay Paul, and we’re Peter.
Another clue as to the real intent of this *health care* bill is the entity that is enforcing coverage payments: the I.R.S. How many more people do we want flying their planes, buses and cars into the sides of I.R.S. buildings because they can’t handle the tax increases or are simply too strapped to afford compulsory coverage? Whenever you get the I.R.S. involved in ANYTHING it spells misery and disaster.
If Obama and the Dems were to come clean and admit what is really going on, it would sound something like this: “My fellow Americans, it is true that we have screwed the pooch. My predecessor did it, and I am presently taking it to new levels. The only alternative at this point to a complete implosion of our economy by 2010 mid-terms is to institute an across-the-board tax hike. Now, I realize that you people weren’t consulted when we decided to throw money into TARP and the $800 billion *stimulus* bill. I know that most of you vehemently opposed both of these bills. But what can I say? My masters wanted *change*, and I gave it to them: the change in your pocket, that is. But rest assured, you will get something for your sacrifice: rather than 50% of you receiving decent health care, ALL of you will now receive mediocre health care.”
Obama and the Dems have now officially sold their souls to the darkest of the dark side. They, alone, will have to live with this unprecedented betrayal. I only hope that the spot in hell reserved for all of them lacks any ventilation whatsoever.
People, it is officially time to pick up your torches and pitchforks. War has been declared against you.
