An article today on Yahoo.com from AP has a headline of "Tough immigration law backfiring?" From the facts listed in the article, i would say Hell NO...looks like it is doing just what it's suppose to. "They say" ( I put it that way because no sources for the numbers used are given) that over 185,000 hispanic people have left the state since the law was upheld. Reasons given for them leaving range from they are illegal and don't want to be arrested, to some of their family members are illegal. This is a bad thing??? Since when is 185,000 criminals or relatives of criminals packing up and leaving a state a bad thing? The AP writer really is nuts. "They" estimate that included in the 185,000 are as much as one-fourth of the commercial building work force. They say that's bad, sounds like some job openings in a state with an unemployment of 9.9%. The sounds like a good idea. Here's an idea, lets use Alabama as a test case. Let the law stand, come back and look at things like unemployment rate, crime rate, school funding, medical cost and other things affected by illegal immigration. Let's see what is happening in about three to five years.
One of the things they point to as a a "backfire" is a tomato farmer that doesn't have illegal aliens to pick his fruit for harvest. They want us to feel sorry for someone that has used illegal aliens knowingly. That person has saved how many thousands of dollars by not paying taxes and workers comp. on his workers for how many years??? Now they want us to feel sorry for them, WTF???? This is a person that should be fined for all the tax evasion and not paying workers comp., not pitied because now they have to hire someone here legally.
Now they have switched the stories to people signing over their kids, so someone will be able to take care of them if they are caught and deported. Still don't see the problem...here are a group of people who KNOW they are illegal and breaking the law. They are setting up people to watch the kids when they get deported. I say, go find them, they just filed legal documents for custody of their kids, shouldn't be too hard to find them, deport them. More illegals gone, what's the problem again?
This isn't a backfire, this is what is suppose to happen when a state passes this kind of law. Illegals are suppose to stop feeling all warm and cozy. They are suppose to get nervous. They are suppose to leave, that's the idea stupid. Figure it out, the American people have had enough of illegals taking jobs, filling schools, jails and welfare lines. We are sick and tired of PRESSING 1 FOR ENGLISH.

Budget fight.....Spoiled Rich Boys are at it again!!!!!!!
Yep.....the spoiled rich boys are at it again. Not once has any of them decided to cut pay or benefits for themselves in this mess, not once in any way. They tell us we all have to make cuts, spend smarter. Oh not them, the argument is so arrogant that it blows the mind. The cuts that could be made in our stuff, wouldn't be big enough to really make a difference. Well, that statement is right, it wouldn't solve the debt problem. What it would do, is say, hey we know we make too much and get too many benefits for these hard times. It would say, we aren't better than everyone else. Isn't there anyone in congress that cares what they look like, you know public relations???? Do any of them even care that they have an approval rating less than 20% and haven't been over 50% since about 2003?
Let's face it, we have a bunch of spoiled rich boys in congress. Think of what the arguments have been for not doing things. Have any of them been, it's not good for the nation? Everything has been done for political gain, to get reelected, for the good of the party. What a crock of crap.
When it comes to taxes, just ask yourself, if a person making over 1 million dollars should pay at the same tax rate as someone making 370,000? Someone making over 2 million? 4 million? Well, that's the way it sits right now, the top bracket stops at 379,150. I think the average person doesn't have a clue that's how it works. So here are some simple ideas to make this make some sense, will it fix the problem completely, hey i don't have tons of aids and bean counters to go over the numbers, but i can't believe that this wouldn't make a huge dent in the problem.
Two or three new tax brackets at the top:
$379,150 - $999,999 35%.
$1,000,000 - $2,225,000 36.5%
$2,225,001 - $4,500,000 39.5%
$4,500,001 + 43%
Next thing is to get some cuts in the entitlement programs, I am sorry to say but they need to be cut back, but in a way that makes some sense. They need some common sense changes. The "third rail", also know as social security needs some major changes. It was started as a safety net for older Americans. It needs to be returned to that goal. Here are the only two changes that you do to this program. One, undo all the cuts in inflation adjustments that have taken place in the last 10 years, give people the raises they were promised and need. The second thing you do, is stop payments to anyone with a retirement income from other sources over $100,000. Now that part will be tricky, because of how the government decides what income is. it's simple. If you have money today that you didn't have yesterday, it's income. Determine the $100,000 a year off of gross income, all money sources. That will piss some people off, oh well, social security wasn't designed or started to help someone making that kind of money in the first place, deal with it.
The next entitlement to take a hit is all welfare programs, with the following changes. You must provide a valid United States birth certificate for everyone in the household getting any benefits, of any kind. The numbers used to figure benefits have to change. In my home state you have to make less than $3000 a year to get anything. That's nuts, that number needs to get a lot closer to the poverty level. I would say at least closer to 75% of the poverty level, if not at the poverty level. The next thing that changes is how the money is handed out. Somewhere there is a chart that defines benefit amounts based on household size. That chart needs some major changes. The benefits for child number one and two stay the same, but for child number 3 you get half of what you got for number 2. That's where the chart stops, no more money for the 4th,5th, 6th or any others. The tax payers should never pay someone for having kids they can't afford. Then don't count any more than two adults toward household size. Also, I like the idea that I've heard kicked around, have anyone on food stamps or cash assistance, do some volunteer time cleaning up parks, roadways and other community service projects. If you are getting help, then you need to give something back. It's a hand up not a hand out.
Next to take a hit is the military budget. No not the pay or benefits for active duty or veterans. No, what needs a hit are all the wonderful weapons programs that none of the joint chiefs want. You have the joint chiefs to help you run the military, use them, trust them. Congress gets a list from the joint chiefs of what weapons systems they need and want. Those are the only ones congress can fund. It's time to stop some congressman from funding stuff that the military doesn't want. It's just pork for his/her home state. The next thing to go, bases, there can't possibly be the need for all the bases across Europe, that there use to be. Time to shut some stuff down.
The next thing to go.....stop all of the little stupid things that we are paying for. Kill the program to teach third world country children the food pyramid. If we had the money, sure why not. We have to borrow $80,000,000 of the $200 mil. that we spend to do it, come on, that's just stupid. Kill the program to bring foreign dignitaries and their families to Washington DC to see how the American way of governing works. What a of a waste of money. I found those two gems in about 1 hour of looking at the budget. I am willing to bet, those are just the tip of the iceberg of stupid things we are paying for. Good feel stuff, that hey if you've got the money, you could blow it on those things. We are borrowing $.40 of every dollar we are spending. It's time to spend our money on stuff we need, not stuff we want or make us look and feel good. The President and Congress need to look those two words up, they've forgotten the difference.
Those are just little ideas and they should piss off both sides of the isle, which means to me, they are probably a good idea...lol. One more thing, could both sides stop with the here is a new idea/plan. The idea/plan is always, so far right or left that is has no chance of getting passed. Find the middle and get something done for change. Surprise the American people, make it look like you care about us for a change. We know that you don't, but hey, just bull shit us in a way we like for change.
We have the best government that money can buy.

Stupid and F-bomb...Trump Wrong???? NOT!!!!!
This last week Trump made some statements that pissed a lot of people off. Dropping the F-bomb, calling people stupid, well he was right on both if you ask me. I am not a Trump fan. I find him to be the arrogant, megalomaniac that most in the media say he is. But I believe he hit the nail on the head with saying that the leaders, America currently have, are stupid. First I think, I need to let you know what i believe the definition of stupid is, Stupidity is the over abundance of ignorance and the lack of will to change it. That fits almost every person i can think of in the political field at this time. Not many of them are willing to learn about the real problems facing our nation. Good example was the Health care bill that was past. Nancy Pelosi said, “But we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of controversy.” Are you kidding me??? If any of them knew it was a good idea, why not tell us what was in the bill to begin with?
They seem to be stupid, because their idea of cutting spending is to cut 38 billion from what might be spent over the course of years....you have got to be kidding.....we don't need cuts that add up to less than 9 days of borrowing......ooooooo that was a big deal.....NOT!!!!! They cut things...but some of the things they cut were money for low income mother and infant help, money for community health centers......yea those things need to go. While 22 million for the botanical gardens needs to stay...while 122 million for teaching 3rd world children the nutrition pyramid needed to stay...while 20 million to invite foreign leaders and their families to come to Washington D.C. for a week vacation, to learn about American government...while not cutting any of their own pay checks....while not cutting anything that might affect any of them.... These people are stupid and they don't care that you know it, nor do they care if you care. They will just BS you when the election rolls around...blaming everything on the other party...lets face it America, both parties are STUPID.
Neither side did anything to solve our problems. What we need is something that makes sense. First, start by bringing home Americana's solders. It's time to bring home alot of the folks, we have hanging out in Europe....to be honest with everyone...i don't see a major war breaking out in Germany anytime soon and if it does? do we really think we could stop it with what we have there?? Waste of money.....
Next start cutting something that might not really help as far as the amount goes...but cut your own salaries....cut your staffs...cut your travel.....cut your lunches out....cut your budgets...start at home. The best idea I've heard so far is that congress should get the average pay of their constitutes. Maybe make it the median household income in the United States of $46,326 plus say $20,000. Then make it so you can't have a pay increase, without it being on a national vote and then only every 4 years. It just might leave the impression you care...and guess what, you can still be the ignorant, arrogant, elitists assholes that you really are...but the impression will be, that you really do care...and that is the game in politics right????
Next cut the stupid stuff....do we really need national gardens???? when we have to barrow the money to have them?
Do we need to send any money to any other country when we have to barrow to do it??
Do we need to have any program that gives any money or tax breaks of any kind to oil companies. Exxon had $10.7 billion, Chevron $6.2 billion, Royal Dutch Shell $6.3 billion. Those are quarterly NET profits. Do you understand what that really is....that's how much is left over after paying all the bills...that's what they call disposable income....what you and i have left over....for the silly stuff that we don't really need but want....that works out to....$120,224,719.10 per day, 5,009,363.29 an hour, 83,489 a minute, 1391.49 per second, for Exxon in NET PROFITS.....and we give these guys a tax break.....give them government subsidies??? You still hear some of America's leaders saying we can't cut those things????? see they really are STUPID. Considering that over 80% of Americans made less last year, than Exxon did per minute in the first quarter....how can anyone......anyone without an oil company paying them off, honestly say they need tax breaks and government subsidies???? The answer is...they can't, unless they are STUPID....REALLY STUPID...
Do we need to spend $170 billion a year to fight a war in Afghanistan and Iraq...when we have to barrow every dollar????? No....if it really is a fight for the personal freedom of those folks....let them earn it themselves, it will mean more....if it's for oil, as some say, then it isn't working.....hell it really isn't working no matter what it's about ....every person that comes out for a democracy has to worry about being shot...so we really aren't fixing things over there.....stop being stupid....make them figure it out. We had to.
Then do something for me and the rest of the 80% of Americans that make less than Exxon did per minute in three months......stop talking about how much of a percentage the top 1% pay. They have 90% of the money, if they aren't paying 90% of the taxes then the percentages aren't quite equal yet are they???? How can you keep a straight face while taxing people that are classified as under the poverty limit.......and still talk about cutting taxes for someone making 7 figures????? Maybe there should be a tax bracket above what we have now???? Something starting at $1,000,000 and up????? Maybe then you could eliminate the one on the folks in the bottom bracket that are under the poverty limit????? Just a thought...might look humane.

The point to remember is that what the government gives it must first take away. ~John S. Coleman, address, Detroit Chamber of Commerce, 1956
The government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. ~Ronald Reagan
If, from the more wretched parts of the old world, we look at those which are in an advanced stage of improvement, we still find the greedy hand of government thrusting itself into every corner and crevice of industry, and grasping the spoil of the multitude.

What if ????
What if I told you that fixing one of America's problems would:
1. Save the health industry $2.6 Billion a year.
2 Save the Education system $2.9 Billion additional a year.
3 Cut the Number of people in the Federal prison system by 26.1%
4. open up 10 million jobs.
How many people could argue with something that would do all that without raising taxes, without cutting a single budge dollar now headed to those sections of the economy? In a time when everyone, well almost everyone with a brain can agree that having an estimated defect of 1.5 trillion dollars is nuts. Why would we not be focusing on something that could cut this kind of money from some of the things that no one wants to cut. If you ask the American people what things not to cut, most of the time health care, education and crime prevention are in the top of the list.
So how many of you have guessed that these things can be done with fixing our immigration problem? I would guess not many. You see the media would have you believe that illegal immigration is a win/win for America. Illegal... oh i am sorry the "undocumented immigrate" ok hang on here....is it me or does that term just sound like a load of crap or what.......undocumented immigrate??? so the guy on the corner selling pot, cocaine and crack is an undocumented pharmacist??? It is time to put the Illegal back in Illegal Immigrate...you know...breaking the law....CRIMINAL ok back to the load of tripe..most media types would have you believe that they are hard working members of our SOCIETY. They don't put any undo cost on the system. They behave our laws and pay taxes. Yea right. Only someone that is completely delusional would believe such a pile of crap. Now the pro illegal immigration folks...notice i didn't say liberals...that's because the last president to grant mass amnesty was the one and only holy men of conservatives Ronald Regan himself. They will ... lets see...call me a racist, a tea bagger, or maybe i can be just mean...that would be nice for a change...the other two are just down right dirty tactics. First i can't be a racist because i don't care what color skin or what country the illegals from......illegal.....is illegal dumb ass duh......as for the other one...it has so many meanings now..I'm not sure if i would like being called that or not.
It's time for the facts, 300,000 children are born from illegal immigrates in the United States every year. With an average cost of a normal delivery, no complications, of $8,802. And we know that's how it works out every time with zero prenatal care, so this number is going to be a very low assessment.
http://www.ehow.com/facts_5391105_average-cost-child-birth.html
That's a cost of 2.6 Billion a year. Now some will tell you that some illegals pay for the birth of their children. Just think about that for a minute. With the average minuim wage of $55.92/week in mexico and lets face it, the ones sneaking across the boarders aren't the doctors and higher paid folks. I seriously doubt if any of them pay for any of the cost. So lets get real, every time you and i go into a hospital and get told we have to pay $5 for a Tylenol to make up for those that don't pay.....in the boarder states at least...now you know who you are paying for.
Now with all those kids, the parents get to stay, to "help" raise the new citizens. In five years time that child is now in school. The average amount spent per child in America on education is $9666 a year.
See page 8, table 8.
http://www2.census.gov/govs/school/07f33pub.pdf
Time to do the math again 300,000 X $9666 = $2,899,800,00. That's the cost per year for illegals children. That is a cost that last for 12 years, if they manage to stay in school. Now since a lot of States fund the schools with property taxes and most illegals don't own homes. Can you see how this is just not going to work out. Lets see if that many people aren't chipping in on the cost. You might end up with a educational system that is over crowded. Teachers that are under paid. School buildings that are falling a part, a shortage of books and tons of other problems.....hold it.....that's the system we have....i wonder how that happened.
It's takes some work to nail down the next set of numbers....and the number in federal prisons would go up in the beginning....so this is one of those things you can't really get anyone to believe or get behind. It's called a LONG TERM idea.......you know something that out last the next news cycle.....the next election...the average Americans attention span.
As for the 10 million jobs...that's easy....that's suppose to be the number of illegals in the country and since they are such a hardworking....tax paying group, they must have jobs....right?????? So let's get them out of here and open up those jobs for Americans.
Now the big question.....how do you make this happen.....well you see this really is the easy part...doesn't take much. You start by taking the incentives away.
First, start by making it so that at least one of the parents of a child born on US soil has to be a citizen, for the child to automatically be a citizen. That will put a stop to women coming in to the country, just to have their baby.
Next, put some teeth in the laws that go after businesses that hire illegals.
1. If caught with 1-5 illegals employed. lose all business and professional licenses for 1 week.
2. If caught with 5-10 illegals employed, lose all business and professional licenses for a 2 weeks.
3. over 10 make it a full month.
next time around double the penalties and just keep doubling them, for each additional time. Now you might be wondering how that is going to do anything. Every business in America has to have permits, licenses to operate for business. Some are local city and county, some state and some are federal. Tax id numbers for any that collect a sales tax. What you would be doing is closing them down for that amount of time....it would cost some companies hundreds of dollars...some thousands and some millions, to be closed for a week or two or a month. In other words you hit them in the only place they understand, the pocket book. Then make them reapply for the licenses. That gets the local governments some much needed revenue.
Next, you make English the national language. If you want to do business in the United States with any branch or level of government you have to submit all paper work and forums in English. No Government agency, program or federally funded group would reprint any document, in any language besides English. The savings to all levels of government would be massive. When Arizona did the same thing...that state saved hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Now there is a time when the government will provide a translator...that would be in criminal cases...but if your dealings are of a civil matter....you would pay to have it translated for you...in to what ever language you like.
Next, make laws and enforce them.....isn't it sad that i even have to add the enforce part??? require every person to provide proof of citizenship to receive any aid, of any kind, from any level of government. Now some will say...hey what about a visa....green card....those are types of proof that they are legally here....no problem..if you aren't a natural or naturalized citizen...you don't get any aid...welfare or subsidies....we ship you back to where you came from....you don't get to come here and live off the government....go home and do that in your own country. Now here is one place where the visa will get you in....school, but it has to be checked at the beginning of every semester....out of date..going to expire before the end of the semester??? goodbye you are going home.
Now will doing this solve the migration problem over night.......NO...can anything??? NO. But these ideas and actions would go along way in getting rid of the problem. Are you going to stop everyone from sneaking into the country...no. But you can make it HARDER...and dammit it should be a lot harder than it is, make being here legally mean something again. Stop the people cutting in line.

1. Save the health industry $2.6 Billion a year.
2 Save the Education system $2.9 Billion additional a year.
3 Cut the Number of people in the Federal prison system by 26.1%
4. open up 10 million jobs.
How many people could argue with something that would do all that without raising taxes, without cutting a single budge dollar now headed to those sections of the economy? In a time when everyone, well almost everyone with a brain can agree that having an estimated defect of 1.5 trillion dollars is nuts. Why would we not be focusing on something that could cut this kind of money from some of the things that no one wants to cut. If you ask the American people what things not to cut, most of the time health care, education and crime prevention are in the top of the list.
So how many of you have guessed that these things can be done with fixing our immigration problem? I would guess not many. You see the media would have you believe that illegal immigration is a win/win for America. Illegal... oh i am sorry the "undocumented immigrate" ok hang on here....is it me or does that term just sound like a load of crap or what.......undocumented immigrate??? so the guy on the corner selling pot, cocaine and crack is an undocumented pharmacist??? It is time to put the Illegal back in Illegal Immigrate...you know...breaking the law....CRIMINAL ok back to the load of tripe..most media types would have you believe that they are hard working members of our SOCIETY. They don't put any undo cost on the system. They behave our laws and pay taxes. Yea right. Only someone that is completely delusional would believe such a pile of crap. Now the pro illegal immigration folks...notice i didn't say liberals...that's because the last president to grant mass amnesty was the one and only holy men of conservatives Ronald Regan himself. They will ... lets see...call me a racist, a tea bagger, or maybe i can be just mean...that would be nice for a change...the other two are just down right dirty tactics. First i can't be a racist because i don't care what color skin or what country the illegals from......illegal.....is illegal dumb ass duh......as for the other one...it has so many meanings now..I'm not sure if i would like being called that or not.
It's time for the facts, 300,000 children are born from illegal immigrates in the United States every year. With an average cost of a normal delivery, no complications, of $8,802. And we know that's how it works out every time with zero prenatal care, so this number is going to be a very low assessment.
http://www.ehow.com/facts_5391105_average-cost-child-birth.html
That's a cost of 2.6 Billion a year. Now some will tell you that some illegals pay for the birth of their children. Just think about that for a minute. With the average minuim wage of $55.92/week in mexico and lets face it, the ones sneaking across the boarders aren't the doctors and higher paid folks. I seriously doubt if any of them pay for any of the cost. So lets get real, every time you and i go into a hospital and get told we have to pay $5 for a Tylenol to make up for those that don't pay.....in the boarder states at least...now you know who you are paying for.
Now with all those kids, the parents get to stay, to "help" raise the new citizens. In five years time that child is now in school. The average amount spent per child in America on education is $9666 a year.
See page 8, table 8.
http://www2.census.gov/govs/school/07f33pub.pdf
Time to do the math again 300,000 X $9666 = $2,899,800,00. That's the cost per year for illegals children. That is a cost that last for 12 years, if they manage to stay in school. Now since a lot of States fund the schools with property taxes and most illegals don't own homes. Can you see how this is just not going to work out. Lets see if that many people aren't chipping in on the cost. You might end up with a educational system that is over crowded. Teachers that are under paid. School buildings that are falling a part, a shortage of books and tons of other problems.....hold it.....that's the system we have....i wonder how that happened.

Health Care.......where to start????
There will be alot of talk about health care reform this coming year. Reblicains want to repeal Oboma's health care reform laws. It won't matter to most of us what happens, health care will still not be affordable for most americans. The biggest problem with health care today in America, is the price. People in hospitals will still get charged $4-$5 dollars for a Tylenol and $30 plus for the wonderful pitcher, glass and puke pan combo. The problem is this is a service that people need.
If having a car was a matter of life and death, you would soon find that mechanics would be charging hundreds if not thousands of dollars just to tell you what was wrong with your car. Hospitals and doctors have the American people by the balls. Most of the time when we seek their help, we are in pain or worse. We don't have a choice. Sure, you can pick a different hospital or doctor, but they are all charging about the same. MRI's, CAT scans and other procedures that have been around for 20+ years haven't dropped in price that much, as a matter of fact most have gone up in price. It's gouging on an epic scale. No other industry in the world charges that much for 20-30 year old technology.
I'm not sure how you fix the problem, but i can tell you that the current system does not work. I hear pundits all the time, mostly on the conservative talk radio ( Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News), say that the United States has the best health care in the world. They might be right about that. What they don't do is finish that sentence.......it should finish with "that money can buy". When going to the emergency room can cost more than a person makes in two weeks or a month, something is wrong. When a 2 mile trip in an ambulance can run over $400, something is wrong. When a single night for a hospital room can cost more than a 5 star hotel and the tab in the restaurant in the lobby, something is very wrong.
I can see a few things that could be changed to help. First, you have got to do something about litigation. There has to be some limits put on the amount of money spent on law suits and insurance to protect doctors and hospitals. First put a cap on the settlement amount. That will get a lot of people mad.....what if i am messed up for life?? How can you put a number on a life??? I can't and i don't think anyone can..including a jury or a judge. How about this? If you do end up with a chronic problem because of a mess up of the doctor or hospital....they have to give you free care for that problem for life? Part of the problem solved. Next thing you do with litigation, if you file a suit and lose....you pay all the court and lawyer fees for the winner. Make that for all suits of any kind. That should get rid of some of the stupid lawsuits.
Second thing you can do is make it against the law to charge more than retail for items, the patient can buy in the open market....no more $5 Tylenols...$2 glasses of ice cubes and they should just give you the pitcher,cup puke pan combo.......they don't seem to even go that fast in the free box at a yard sale. Other than those little steps to curb the cost....i really don't really have the "Big Fix". There will always be someone that takes advantage of someone in pain. Lets face it....some people are just greedy, selfish and despicable.
Back to the national level....Oboma and congress got it wrong. I do think that some of the things in the health care bill might help...but requiring me to buy health insurance that i couldn't afford before the bill??? What kind of dumb ass idea is that??? HEY you IDIOTS in washington....you ever hear of the saying you can't get blood from a turnip??? And stop using the 50 million americans don't have health insurance number. Most of those 50 mil are between the ages of 18-30 and most could care less. When I was 21, health insurance was not at the top of my needs list. Hell most people in that age group still have the "I'm Invincible" syndrome. Stop worrying about 18 to about 30 or so....they don't really need you telling what they want....hell the ones in the younger part of that group are just finding out that their parents weren't stupid and did have some good advice and ideas. The ones in the older section are just starting to figure out what they really want out of life......or at least starting to point in the right direction. Health insurance still isn't on the top of their "need" list. Worry about parents, worry about those of us between the ages of 35 and 65. We are the group that actually want some way to pay for health care. Worry about the poor, who can't afford basic health care. Worry about states that won't give out assistance to anyone making over $300 a month...$300 a month.....hell that won't even pay the rent on a place to live...and some state governments think that is a cut off number for medicaid???? You have got to be kidding me??
If you want to socialize medicine and spend a butt load of money while you do it.....could you at least do it for the right people for the right reasons???? duh? Lower the age for Medicare to 50 and raise the income level for Medicaid to the Nation poverty level. You want a big bureaucracy too? Make a national panel that releases the names of doctors and hospitals that over charge the consumer. Pass out tax breaks to those that don't. Give doctors and hospitals some incentive to stop making money off of peoples suffering, pain and fear. We all know they won't do it out of the kindness of their hearts, because they haven't done it yet.
Will these ideas fix the health care problem?? Most likely.....no, But it should be a good start. Are there other ideas that need to be tried...yes i am sure that there are. I do know one thing for sure, that a bunch of people in Washington DC, that haven't had to pay a medical bill in years, couldn't tell you the price of a gallon of milk, or most things without asking an aide. They couldn't possible have a clue on how to fix it. Which reminds me of the biggest thing that needs to be done.......all government employees, including congress's health benefits should be Medicare or Medicaid. Not sure how you decide which, but they should be spread out evenly somehow. This will give them a vested interest in giving a crap about the quality of care.....which they don't have now and it shows.

The American Economy....the real problem GREED...
There's an article on yahoo today about who will struggle in 2011....it's pretty much covers all of us. The comments read like a bad list of who's to blame for the problem....there is no easy answer to that question. But here are some ideas.....
The first person to blame is the person that hasn't voted in their life....don't vote and you get what your neighbor, who voted, wanted...prob not what you wanted or needed. The second one is the person that voted.....without asking what the guy running for office was going to do to help the community, county, state or country he was going to represent. Next on the list, some blame has to go to the person that voted the party line. Not every republican or democrat is a good one. STOP BEING SHEEP!!! The next person to blame is the one that voted for the person that was already in office last time, without asking, did he or she help the problem or just yell and scream and cause problems??? I know people in Nevada, California and Utah voted for Reed, Pelosi and Hatch because of different reasons, but did it make sense to send people back with your beliefs that do a lot to create hate and discontent??? No not really. Now that covers those of us that could have helped the problem with what little power we still have.
The biggest group that is to blame.....and i know i will take alot of heat for this one, is Big Business. But let me explain. I have no problem with someone making a buck, getting ahead for what they work for. I have no problem with someone getting "rich" off their effort. I don't think the rich should pay for everything. I know that trickle down economics and trickle up poverty are pretty much the same thing. One is just how a Republican tells you that the rich will get richer and poor, poorer and the other is a Democrat talking....But what i do have a problem with are companies that make out rageous profits. Thank of poor Exxon-Mobil that last quarter reported that it only made 9.92 Billion in net profit. I hope that some of you understand what NET means here, that's what you get after you pay the taxes and bills. At the same time all of us have seen the price of gas and other petroleum based products jump in price. Can you say bend over consumer???? I have no problem with them making money, but come on, almost 10 billion in a three month period, while raising prices and whining that things are tough for them because of hurricanes and other things??? Do we really look that stupid??? My conclusion.........YEA most of the American public is.
It doesn't stop there, almost every industry does it.......why??? Well part of the problem is that there is an expectation for stock holders to get bigger and more returns on their investment. I don't have a problem with that either...but hey come on...times are suppose to be tuff right now.....right??? Everyone is suppose to tighten their belts....give a little and work their way thru this.....how many times have we all heard that one?? First thing you should do, is ask your self, is the person that said that doing their part??? In the case of Big Business and the Government in America...The Answer is HELL NO. Did congress take a pay cut??? Did they cut down on staff?? No, The voted for a pay raise...and they increased their staffs. How many CEO types have taken a pay cut??? How many in upper management? How many companies cut the upper 10% of there bureaucracy? The Answer....hardly any. The rich didn't tighten their belts.....how do you know for sure....cause somewhere someone just made and sold a gold plated toilet seat......and someone just got crapped on.

Are we too late to change? Are we too scared to try? too stupid to know how? Or too Greedy to care?

Are we too late to change? Are we too scared to try? too stupid to know how? Or too Greedy to care?
I hope not.

Intro to What and Who's Bad Syntax Rant....hehehehehe
Image via WikipediaFirst thing that you need to know, is that i won't pull punches, i won't be politically correct. I believe that both of those concepts are reasons, that things that need to be said and talked about aren't. I don't think "Conservatives" get it right all the time. I don't think "liberals" get it right all the time. I think both are way off on some of their views. I believe you don't get anything done right, if you take a radical view or approach. I am not a very religious person, but i have a background that doesn't leave me much choice, so i quote biblical sayings, deal with it. I quote from movies, tv shows, friends and bar toast too......whatever fits the subject. I don't believe that every word in an opinion posted here has to be speeled right (i did that on purpose) lol I won't always use the right punctuation either....i write like i talk...if i want a pause in the rant.............................................I put one.... :D If you think because my writing skill takes away from my ideas and lessens there value somehow. I believe you are part of the problem and really not who i write this for. Well if i haven't pissed off everyone that reads this yet......wait. I take political, social and just plain silly headlines from the news and give what i call the working mans simple view. I don't think anything can be solved by a 2000 page bill and i don't think everything can be solved by having the government stay out of it.Stay tuned.
