Foward from “American Solutions” by Vince Haley

German Roig — Thu, 06 May 2010 17:00:54 +0000

From American Solutions: http://www.americansolutions.com/

American Solutions General Chairman Newt Gingrich recently wrote an article in the Washington Post that has annoyed a few people, including it seems, President Obama.In this article, Gingrich repeats an earlier assertion that President Obama is “the most radical president in American history” and describes with several examples how the governing team of Obama-Pelosi-Reid operates as a “secular socialist machine.”It appears that describing Obama administration policies as “socialist” is more than President Obama and his defenders can stand. They seek to marginalize any serious discussion of whether President Obama is indeed attempting to impose socialist programs on American society.Consider President Obama’s remarks this past weekend at the University of Michigan:

The… way to keep our democracy healthy is to maintain a basic level of civility in our public debate…. Throwing around phrases like “socialist” and “Soviet-style takeover;” “fascist” and “right-wing nut” may grab headlines, but it also has the effect of comparing our government, or our political opponents, to authoritarian, and even murderous regimes.

… The problem is that this kind of vilification and over-the-top rhetoric closes the door to the possibility of compromise. It undermines democratic deliberation. It prevents learning – since after all, why should we listen to a “fascist” or “socialist” or “right-wing nut?” It makes it nearly impossible for people who have legitimate but bridgeable differences to sit down at the same table and hash things out. It robs us of a rational and serious debate that we need to have about the very real and very big challenges facing this nation.

The President would have us believe that using the term “socialist” undermines democratic deliberation and robs us of rational and serious debate about the challenges facing our country.

We disagree completely and believe that assessing Obama administration policies as socialist or not serves a very useful purpose. We believe that people can learn a lot about socialism when examining many of the Obama administration policies.

Here a few examples:

The recently passed healthcare bill is a government takeover by regulation of approximately one-sixth of the economy. It will raise taxes by almost $1 trillion dollars over the next ten years and insurance premiums and associated healthcare costs will likely continue to go up each year.

President Obama supports an economy wide cap and trade system, which he believes will strengthen job creation. Opponents believe that a cap and trade system will kill jobs and lead to government control of the entire U.S. economy, or, in other words, a socialist means of government control and of taxing and redistributing wealth to politically favored constituencies.

A free market economy is about rewarding companies that produce high quality products at a competitive cost and allowing them to fail when they are unable to deliver value at a price consumers are willing to pay. A socialist approach is for the government to bail out companies with taxpayer dollars and then manage them, even though we already have an established bankruptcy process in this country for the orderly reorganization of failing companies. President Obama chose the socialist approach when he bailed out General Motors and Chrysler.

During the 2008 presidential campaign Barack Obama said “When you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody”. This world view is socialist in perspective, especially when you consider the spreader of the wealth is the federal government. Well it’s time to get ready for some more wealth being spread around because the Obama Administration is talking about introducing an entirely new form of taxation to the U.S. It’s called the Value -Added Tax (VAT), and it functions as a national sales tax on materials and goods at the production level, which will be passed along to the consumer in the form of higher prices on everything that is purchased.

These are a few of many examples in which President Obama’s administration has or is trying to increase the size and power of the federal government in a manner that justifies the term socialist.

We believe the American people can decide for themselves whether certain terms reflect their understanding of reality. At American Solutions, we will continue to use the terms we believe accurately reflect the direction of this Administration.

Over the coming months in this election year we expect a vibrant national debate about the direction of this administration and what words most accurately define it.

Along the way, we will be providing you with updates on the actions of the “Secular-Socialist Machine” and asking for your feedback and help in stopping it.

Sincerely,

Vince Haley

From a California school teacher – - – Cheap Tomatoes

German Roig — Thu, 06 May 2010 15:26:49 +0000

BoomerYearbook.com

Cheap Tomatoes

This English teacher has phrased it the best I’ve seen yet.
Tomatoes and Cheap Labor

CHEAP TOMATOES?
This should make everyone think, be you Democrat, Republican or Independent

From a California school teacher – - -

“As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of:

I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southern California high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and income levels

Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens , Huntington Park , etc., where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools.

Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I’m not talking a glass of milk and roll — but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten.

I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school also provides day care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls (some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids.

I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing
funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America ..

I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students, here in the country less then 3 months, who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them “Putas”(whores) and throwing things, that the teachers were in tears.

Free medical, free education, free food, free day care etc., etc, etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled to not only be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements?

To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs.

Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases. For me, I’ll pay more for tomatoes.

Americans, We need to wake up.

It does, however, have everything to do with culture: It involves an American third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate, and an American culture that has become so weak and worried about“political correctness“ that we don’t have the will to do anything about it.

If this makes your blood boil, as it did mine, forward this to everyone you know.

CHEAP LABOR? Isn’t that what the whole immigration issue is about?

Business doesn’t want to pay a decent wage.

Consumers don’t want expensive produce.

Government will tell you Americans don’t want the jobs.

But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase “cheap labor” is a myth, a farce, and a lie. There is no such thing as “cheap labor.”

Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an “earned income credit” of up to $3,200 free.

He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.

He qualifies for food stamps.

He qualifies for free (no deductible, no co-pay) health care.

His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.

He requires bilingual teachers and books.

He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.

If they are, or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI. If qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicaid. All of this is at (our) taxpayer’s expense.

He doesn’t worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.

Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.

He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour in benefits.

Working Americans
are lucky to have $5.00 or $6..00/hour left after paying their bills and his.

Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT!

THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSING TO THE CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERS OF EITHER PARTY. ‘AND WHEN THEY LIE TO US AND DON’T DO AS THEY SAY, WE SHOULD REPLACE THEM .

Please pass this on to as many as possible. Immigration legislation is to be considered in 2010. This is important to working Americans, our economy and our American culture and heritage..

A lesson to be learned from Greece

Administrator — Thu, 06 May 2010 15:05:16 +0000

BoomerYearbook.com

By Joseph J Kusnell

There is a lesson to be learned from Greece. Like us, they hired too many state workers. Like us they overpaid them. Like us they gave them unsustainable benefits including in some cases 55 year retirement with FULL life-time benefits.

When Greece couldn’t sustain this giveaway, their financial house of cards collapsed but the workers could care less. They have been overpaid and using taxpayers money for years. But now, it has dried up. There is no money. Do they care? No. They are selfish and they are stupid.

They seem to think by rioting, more money will be generated. Then they can continue on their own gravy train even if the other taxpayers are forced into tax-bankruptcy.

What these morons don’t seem to understand is that there is no money. The money they have been stealing for years has run out. An adjustment is needed.

That’s the trouble with getting people used to more than they are worth. When you eventually have to cut them back, they can’t handle it.

I wouldn’t want to be running any government that had to correct this type situation. It is not likely to be peaceful.

Our unions at GM are like this. Do anything to anyone but not to us. After all, “we earn our money!”. THEY bankrupted GM but don’t blame them! Let the taxpayer bail them out just as long as they continue to get what they have been getting or close to it.

lol

I have a friend who is a steel rod-setter. He and his wife have a $500,000.00 home in the suburbs. He will tell you “We earned every bit of that money”.

In what society is a rod setter worth that kind of money? If he is worth that, what must a doctor be worth? Or an engineer? BUT, doctors and engineers aren’t unionized.

And what does this do to a nation’s economy? Well, it can destroy it if labor’s demands are excessive. Or it can drive employers to seek cheaper labor if they are.

In America they were so –

How about if all those Greek government workers were replaced with cheaper labor? The country would recover quickly. The government workers wouldn’t.

Unions are composed of a lot of politically and economically uninformed people; hence, it’s hard to tell that them the truth about anything. They won’t hear it. Instead they riot.

Better them than us.

But our day might be coming if we don’t straighten out our act soon.

John Kanzius:Inventor of the Cancer Killing Radio Wave Machine UPDATE

Mon, 03 May 2010 20:04:10 +0000

Dear Baby Boomers:

A POTENTIAL CURE FOR CANCER MAY BE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE AND READ THE FOLLOWING BOOMERYEARBOOK.COM ARTICLE REVIEWING THE KANZIUS CANCER INVENTION. THEN GOOGLE
“THE KANZIUS CANCER RESEARCH FOUNDATION” FOR INFORMATION ON THIS EXCITING POTENTIAL TREATMENT. (www.kanziuscancerresearch.com/)

(Note: BoomerYearbook.com is not affiliated with the Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation Foundation.)

A Review of John Kanzius’ Thermal Destruction of Cancer Cells

By Dr. Karen for Boomeryearbook.com

BoomerYearbook.com

What is Thermal Destruction of Cancer Cells? John Kanzius says he uses radio waves in a noninvasive way to heat nanoparticles which can kill cancer. John Kanzius is not a doctor. In fact he holds no degrees at all, not even a college bachelor degree. Who is he? He is a man, like so many, diagnosed with cancer.

Five years ago, John was informed that he has b-cell leukemia. John understood and witnessed first hand the devastation the current cancer treatment wrecked on one’s body and spirit; seeing the hopeful smiling faces starting chemo therapy and radiation turn sickly and zombie like as treatment progressed. These difficult, toxic cancer treatment sessions prompted him to invent the use of radio wave frequencies to kill cancer. So, John started working in his garage. Since childhood, John had been fascinated by radio waves. He soon discovered that nanoparticles and other molecules can be heated with radio waves and that cancerous cells are eradicated! In testing he discovered, that cancer cells could be eradicated, without side effects, in an 8 week period of time!

John Kanzius, sans the professional degree, has worked as owner and operator of a radio station and also engineered and managed TV stations. Radio waves were a childhood fascination and a major component of his adult work. Prior to Kanzius’ breakthrough, using radio waves to cure cancer had not been an avenue pursued by ANY mainstream researchers. Contrary, researchers have concentrated their efforts on drugs, surgery and other medical cancer treatment interventions. Now, thanks to Kanzius’ pioneering work, researchers are finding solutions through the science of physics. When John was queried as to what made him think he could invent a cure for cancer?, he responded, “no one else had done it.”

This possible cure gives many people hope but unfortunately, it is quite likely that the inventor himself might succumb to his cancer prior to benefiting from it as a curative cancer treatment. Preparing for such a scenario, John Kanzius has proactively made arrangements for his discovery to be handled by a corporation, and ensured that his hometown in PA could benefit once the FDA gave approval for the Radio Wave Machine’s use in killing cancer. It means a lot to his hometown in Erie county. The machine to cure some of the worst cancers, manufactured and then conducted at their local cancer center, will put the small town of Erie PA on the world’s map. It’s anticipated, that once instituted and approved, that visiting cancer patients will be coming in from all over the world.

Is it a little too early to call it a cure? Maybe? but the medical profession is very hopeful. The FDA has given Kanzius testing phase approval to receive international patients. The county of Erie is excited about the economic growth that will likely be experienced if the treatment is approved. It could mean a 10 billion increase in revenue for the county. A lot of key people and resources are behind Kanzius. Dr. Stephen Curly is a surgical oncologist and does cancer research at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Curly said, “This has the most fascinating potential I’ve seen in anything in my twenty years of cancer research.” Dr. Curly continues to provide fund raising support so the research can continue at it’s miracle accelerated pace.

We at Boomer Yearbook will continue to follow John Kanzius’s Radio Wave Cancer Killing Machine and update you regularly. We hope you will write in to us and let us know what you think. We’d love to hear from you.

A Cure for Cancer

German Roig — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 23:31:23 +0000

A Cure for Cancer

I wish to ask you – the reader – a question that I suspect you have heard before. But, I am going to ask it anyway just to get started. Please read this entire letter, this is the hottest thing in Cancer treatment in America today.

Over a billion dollars is spent each year on cancer. This includes cancer research, cancer treatments and cancer drugs. Clinics, research facilities and hospitals run on money donated to find a cure of cancer. What if they found out that a new process could cure many types of cancer without expensive treatments, without expense drugs, and with no side effects? Would these groups greet the news with elation or dismay?

Let’s paint a scenario: You are the President and CEO of a billion-dollar Pharmaceutical company that markets cancer-fighting drugs. These drugs are very expensive and you sell many hundreds of millions of dollars worth each and every year. Your company employs 2,300 people who work in sales, research, administration and accounting. In other words, you are a highly successful billion-dollar corporation that is doing quite well.

One day an employee of the research department rushes into your office. He is obviously very exited. When he catches his breath, he let’s you in on his news. “Chief, we have just found a cure for cancer!”

“You have,” you ask him guardedly.

“Yes, sir, tomatoes!”

“Tomatoes? Tomatoes cure cancer? Regular home grown variety ordinary tomatoes?”

“Yes sir, regular tomatoes. Taken in a certain way, they cure cancer with no side effects at all! And Chief, you can grow you own in your yard so you can cure yourself and it won’t cost you anything! Isn’t that great!!!”

How do you respond? Now I am sure the thought of curing cancer is something you have often paid lip service to, but now that you as the CEO of this giant pharmaceutical are faced with a cure, how do you feel? What do you say?

As you stare at your employee you begin to feel ill. You can see your job, your company, the jobs of all 2,300 employees, all the shareholders money and many others affiliated with the work you do all being ruined overnight. You are going to lose hundreds of millions of dollars not this year, but this year, next year, the year after that, and every year forever. You are about to lose billions of dollars and your job.

How do you respond?

We all would love to say we stand up and shout, “Praise the Lord!” because we are all good people and curing cancer is a wonderful thing – something we had dedicated our life to or at least seemed to. But if you think that, you are more than a bit naive.

I am not going to carry this any further and I am not going to say the CEO would bury the cure because I don’t know what would happen. But what I do know is nobody making a fortune off a disease is truly dedicated to curing that disease. Treating it yes, curing it, no.

Do you know how new drugs are brought to market? A pharmaceutical company with a research lab discovers this drug they think might treat a certain disease. They present their facts to the FDA and ask for approval for a Clinical Trial. Sometimes the National Institute of Health will give a grant to a company to run a trial but at others the company will pay for the trial themselves if the FDA gives them the okay to go ahead.

So they begin their trial. First, they run a Phase 1 with a few people. If that is successful then they run a Phase II with more people. If that is successful then they run a Phase III with even more people. If that is successful they petition the FDA for approval to market their drug. They may have spent a couple of hundred million dollars on this trial but if the drug gets approval, they can sell it and recoup their money and make a lot more. It’s a big stake gamble but that’s what they do. That’s why they put up the money for the trial.

The FDA is empowered to make the final decision but everyone is aware that the Drug Company has a huge financial investment in that drug and – well we’ll let it go there.

Now back to the tomato cure. In order to be sure the tomato cure works and has no bad side effects, we have to run just such a Clinical Trial. And to run that trial, someone has to pay the hundreds of millions of dollars that are needed.

Do you think any pharmaceutical company that is basically going to be put out of business if this trial is successful is going to offer to pick up the tab? I don’t think so. Okay then, where is the money to come from?

Well, one way is for the Federal Government to – through the National Institute of Health – pick up the cost of the tomato trials. Actually that’s about the only way. And if the FDA won’t or can’t put up that money, the trials may simply be put on the back burner and things will go back to normal.

Now just to explain: we are dealing here with a maybe – maybe the tomatoes will work and maybe there will be great success and maybe there will be NO side affects. But we won’t know that until we finish these very expensive tests. And convincing the government that it should put all that money into tests on tomatoes may be a hard sell since if the tomatoes don’t work, a lot of people are going to point fingers in their direction.

So maybe the tomato tests will get run and maybe they won’t. Or maybe they cut the money way down and try just a little test and if that works, try a little bigger test and so on and so on. And maybe they will and maybe they won’t. And why the uncertainty?
Because no one is going to make any money from this discovery so no one is going to invest any of his money in it. Certainly, cancer may be cured but while that may be a great thing for we-the-people, it isn’t so great for these particular companies.
They could end up out of business and a lot of their lives ruined. You can’t expect them to voluntarily contribute to their own demise.

Now why am I writing this. Well, because someone like this is going on right now outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where a new cancer treating technique that proponents think will cure many cancers with no side effects and no expensive treatments or drugs, is languishing for lack of sufficient money to move it forward.
This is not some third world miracle drug, or something off the back shelf. This is not some goofy idea promulgated by a disbarred doctor. No, this is a process invented by a man who had cancer and died from his cancer a few months ago, before his machine could be used on him. This is an idea that has gotten a lot of publicity and a lot of attention and may well be the best idea in cancer treatment in the past 50 years. But it has a couple of problems. It is NOT expensive, it uses NO high-priced drugs, and there are NO side effects.

The tests of this treatment to date have been 100% successful and they have been conducted in some of our finest cancer research facilities. But it is time to move forward through the next stage, i.e. human tests. This takes money, in fact about 12 million dollars over the next two years. Where is that money going to come from? Who will benefit from this cure? We will. Those of us are afraid of cancer, those of us who have cancer, those of us who have loved ones that have had cancer. WE are the ones to put up the money to drive these tests forward. Or nobody will. The hospitals have been getting some money but we need to raise 12 million to get this done!

This has been called the best new idea in cancer treatment in 50 years. Okay then I say we find 100,000 people who will contribute $100 each to the hospitals that are conducting the tests on The Kanzius Machine. (The Kanzius machine is named after its inventor John Kanzius, recently deceased from cancer. Sadly John’s own machine could not be used on him since it is illegal to use devices such as this one before they receive FDA approval so the doctors couldn’t do it.)

At this time, I want you to cut and paste the following link and go read about The Kanzius Foundation. Read about this marvelous potential cure for many types of cancers not ten years or twenty years from now but as soon as the trials are finished and the results approved which could be within five years. Here’s the link: read the rest of this article and then go to the link and read all about the Foundation. It was featured twice on 60 Minutes and created quite a stir.

http://kanziuscancerresearch.com/aboutclinicaltrials-p-202.html

Okay so now you know, this is very promising but they need lots of money to get it done. Whatever you give is tax deductible but $100 from 100,000 of us should do the trick. Checks can be made (as outlined in the link) to The Kanzius Foundation in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Come on folks, this is for us. After all, we can’t reasonably expect those people or corporations that are going to lose so much money if this is successful, to chip in to put themselves out of business. This is something we have to do for ourselves. Write your check today. It’s the best $100 bucks you will ever spend.

Send it to THE KANZIUS FOUNDATION at the address on the link: We CAN cure Cancer. You and me – so let’s do it now. A good man died to bring us this idea which he conceived at Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia watching kids die of Cancer as he stood there crying helplessly. We can make his dream a reality if you will help. So, what do you say – are you willing to make the effort? After all, the life you save may be your own or that a loved one or friend. You just never know where Cancer is going to strike next.

Thank you and please, pass this on. It’s really up to us this time.

Dear Glenn Beck

German Roig — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 18:35:51 +0000

The Cunning Plan: BoomerYearbook.com

Glen,

The attack on your is what happens to heroes. If the other side wasn’t being hurt, they would ignore you. Their attacks prove you are getting through to the people.

The people on the left are underhanded, vicious, vitriolic, and phony. They have done worse than any of the people they criticize. They are despicable and degenerate. Consider the very ugly Bill Mayer or Code Pink or so many liberal Black activists. They rant and rave and revile anyone that opposes them saying whatever pops into their mind without regard to truth or consequences and then complain bitterly if the other side does half as much in return. They care nothing for the truth and to try to engage them in an exchange of ideas is futile. They don’t want to learn, they want to indoctrinate.

The conversion of American discourse to this state is all but unbelievable. I say “all but” because looking back at history, you can see where the same thing has happened time and time again. The difference is that I never thought it could happen here. But it has and in surprisingly short order.

Glen, I have heard the liberals on the left are trying to run you off the air. That is unacceptable. We need to keep you on the air so I am wondering what you think of some of us trying to form a sort of PAC with people willing to pledge $5 or $10 a month on a recurring basis in order to raise one million dollars a month with which to buy commercial time on your Fox News to protect you from them.

The word is your show is losing sponsors who are afraid of the intimidators and whose commitment to free speech may not be as strong as their commitment to profits. I have also read that Fix has lost a million dollars a month in sponsorship for the Glen Beck Show. Is that true? Is that what it would take to keep you on the air?

Glen, there are 20 million people that listen to conservative talk radio. At least three or four million that identify themselves as belonging to the Tea Party group. And another (many overlaps of course) 2 million that listen to your Fox show every night. From that group all we need is about 100,000 folks to support you with an average $10 monthly contribution if a million-a-month is the magic number.

I can’t believe that would be so hard to do. But we would need an organization that understands how to handle that much money, how to dispense it, what records have to be kept since the Administration will be all over them, and we need to be assured that a million a month is enough to do the trick.

Of course someone has to run the group and get paid but we would hope that we could do that with one guy working out of his own office so the overhead for this would be kept at a minimum.

Do you have any thoughts? Would it work? Is it necessary? Is there anyone that you know that has the background to run with this and make it happen?

I know and you know our country is teetering on the brink of a disaster and most Americans don’t even know it. Your show is one of the places they can learn the truth. We need to keep you on the air.

Finally, take care of yourself. Trust no one. These are animals that will do whatever they must do to get what they want. Thugs, thieves, liars, and cheats – and people to whom violence is simply a tool to be used to achieve an objective. After all as Chairman Mao did say, political power comes from the barrel of a gun and that is not lost on them. So watch yourself.

Is this still America, Glen? I am 81 and I can’t believe what has happened to us in just over one year. Nor can I believe that so many of the more traditional elements of the Democratic Party seem to be going along with these Marxists and anti-American revolutionaries without so much as a whimper. Soon they will have convinced our people that the very word America is something to be ashamed of.

The Lady in the Statute must certainly have a tear in her eye for her liberty that is being lost.

So if you think this can be done or you know someone to head this up, let’s get started. Save the Glen Beck Show for America’s Sake.

That’s the ticket.

Can YOU Explain This Health Care Bill To Me?

by Joseph J. Kusnell

First the benefits, some of which kick in next year and some in 2014:

1. Elimination of insurance company caps on medical expenses. Added cost for Insurance companies.
2. Elimination of exclusions for pre-existing conditions. Added cost for Insurance companies
3. Universal coverage: Everyone is insured. Millions to Medicaid at taxpayer expense.
4. Mandated insurance coverage required for ALL adults. Added revenue for Insurance companies.
5. Rules against dropping people who become sick. Added cost for Insurance companies
6. Single children to stay on their parents’ policies until age 26. Added cost for Insurance companies

Five of these six rule changes increase insurer’s costs and depress Insurance Company profits. Despite assertions to the contrary by the Democratic Party, the five largest insurers in this country in 2008 took home a 4.5% return on investment (ROI) which is hardly newsworthy. They have no sack full of money to absorb these new costs and without new revenues they would likely face bankruptcy. Rule #4 was added ostensibly forcing young healthy people to buy insurance to help offset those increased costs similar to what is done with Social Security where young working people contribute to help offset the costs of retiring older people. Will it work? Let’s see:

1. Eliminating caps is a no-brainer. That should have been done long ago. If they wanted cap limits they should have also offered premium limits, refunding money to people who did not get sick. Caps were an anomaly.

2. Eliminating exclusions for pre-existing conditions: Are insurance companies allowed to raise prices for people with pre-existing conditions? If they are not, how will insurance companies pay for this increased coverage? How will it affect the cost of employer-provided insurance? If they are who gets to determine by how much? Will we also drop pre-existing conditions when purchasing life insurance or car insurance? That would be nice even if would put those companies out of business. (Suppose I take a room in your rooming house and after I am there a week, I find out I have a serious disease that I picked up in the place I used to live before moving in with you. This is a pre-existing condition. Is it still okay if I sue you for my disease? Is it okay if they make you pay for me?) I don’t think so. Persons with pre-existing conditions should have been transferred to Medicare or Medicaid and that would have solved the problem. We didn’t need a new federal bureaucracy to take care of this problem.

3. 16 million people are now being transferred to Medicaid but if they qualify for Medicaid by reason of a means test now, why didn’t they qualify last year? The answer is, they did so again, why did we need this bill?

4 . Mandated insurance: If you don’t buy insurance, they say you will be fined. That’s to make young healthy people buy insurance so their money will help offset the costs of covering patients with pre-existing conditions. But there’s a problem. The fine for not buying this mandatory insurance is less than 25% the cost of insurance. So it’s easier to just pay the fine. Then if you get sick, you can go out and demand catastrophic insurance that is cheap knowing they can’t turn you down because of your new pre-existing condition because that’s now against the law. You win two ways and the insurance companies lose. Why was this set up this way? All this will do is drive insurance companies out of business, cost us jobs, and allow the government to take over the whole thing. Is that why this was done the way it was done? Wantta bet?

5. Kids on their parents’ policies. Kids don’t usually get sick before age 26 so this too is a no-brainer. Both these changes could have been accomplished with a one-page law. We didn’t need to create universal health care to do this. Anyway, who wants their kids to stay at home living off mom and pop until they are 26?

Which brings me back to the question: can insurance companies charge more for someone with a pre-existing condition and if so, who decides how much and if not how do they pay for extending this new coverage? Are we all going to chip in to pay it for them? Is someone going to pass a basket? Or is this designed to drive insurance companies to bankruptcy? You see, there are no teeth in Rule #4 so at this moment it is worthless; hence, with the new added costs, insurance companies will move toward bankruptcy. Another question concerns employer-provided health care insurance. If families cost more, will they tend toward hiring single people or people with fewer children in order to lower their costs? Will this be a reason not to hire workers with bigger families?

You know, no matter what the government says, government health care is going to cost more and provide less service than private insurance. That’s a fact. Do you think Washington is filled with geniuses? Look at everything they touch. Without an open taxpayer checkbook, they couldn’t run anything. That’s why everything they touch is in the hole BILLIONS or even TRILLIONS of dollars! The are paid too much, they work too little, they are inefficient, and they are deep into fraud, corruption and special interest contamination. Oh yea, they will lower costs. Right! If they do it will be the first time! No, we have been snookered. Expect higher costs, higher taxes and less and less service. Oh yea, and long, long waiting lines.

Okay, but regardless of all that, how exactly are we going to pay for this mess? Well, to start with in 2011, expect a new national value added sales tax. Unfortunately this will effect working people (and those without jobs) a lot since working people spend most of their income just to get by. So it will all be taxed. Does that surprise you? Why, because they didn’t tell you? With politicians, words and deeds are seldom related and they hate the truth.

There will be other problems with this service as well. For example, people on Medicare or Medicaid. The government is going to continue to cut what they pay doctors for treating people with Medicare or Medicaid because those expenditures are getting so high. With that, the doctors will stop treating those patients. They’ll have to. They don’t make any money caring for them and even Doctors have to pay their bills. And so, the system will suffer.

If you don’t believe me, check the conditions in England and Canada where poor, old and sick people are exposed to universal health care services. Young people think it’s okay since they don’t get sick much. But check with the older people, they’ll tell you. It’s a lousy system. Some folks just die waiting to see a doctor.

We had the best health care in the world and we could have solved our problems. But no, we had to replace it with a government run social health care program installed by liberal Democrats and it’s going to suck. Should I rephrase that to say ‘you ain’t seen nothing yet’? Ever noticed all these people like Kerry, Pelosi, Gore and the Kennedy’s working for you so hard just get richer and richer doing it? Is that why there are more Democratic millionaire Senators in Washington than Republican? And are they on this new health care service plan? THEY ARE NOT!

What do they care about you? Remember when the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, went to Copenhagen a while back? Our country was in deep financial difficulty, right? How many friends and family members did she take with her, 100? How many Government jets did she use, two or three? How much were the rooms and the meals, $500.00 a day per person or was it more? And who paid for all that? The taxpayer did. Enough said. Do as I say –

When all this stuff hits the fan a few years from now, you will be hard pressed to find anyone that will admit they voted for this bill. Like in Germany after WWII, when it became impossible to find anyone who had been a Nazi.

What do you think made America so much more successful than the socialist countries in Europe this last century? It was Capitalism and the freedom to make of yourself what you could. So why would we want to change that now? I’ll tell you why, to please the people at the bottom – to redistribute the wealth to people who say Capitalism held them back. Well, I disagree with them. Capitalism didn’t hold them back, THEY held themselves back. Now they have their hand out for everything they can get.

They say Socialism is where workers own the means of production. Okay, but do they? Look around at those countries. Look at the people who run them. What do you see? I see a new ruling class. I see new ‘rich guys’. While it once was the people that started and ran the businesses that got rich, now it’s the people that run the government who steal the businesses. How nice. But it won’t last long because these people don’t know how to tie their own shoes. They are leeches and when leeches are in control, everyone suffers. They will run this country into the ground. Oh my. What’s the use. A fool and his freedoms are soon parted. And we have a lot of fools in America today.

Kids on campuses who have never done anything never held a job, never supported a family, never have done anything much but live off their parents now tell the world how it should conduct itself. And they have no idea what the hell they are talking about or what they are doing to themselves!

How did this happen. Maybe we should shut down our colleges since all they seem to teach is sex, drug use and anti-Americanism.

Dream Dancer

by Joseph J Kusnell

I had a dream, the other night,
You were the vision I saw,
You danced for me with such grace and charm,
I was breathless and left in awe.

Your grace, your youth, your beauty too,
Lit up the night for me,
It was just that you were only a dream,
That lessened my fantasy.

For you danced with grace and beauty rare,
And such innocent purity,
That I long for the night when you will dance,
For real, but only for me.

It must be heaven to dance with you,
To hold you tight and to share,
Your beauty, your mind, your body and heart,
The sweetest found anywhere.

It is plain to me, I cannot hope to find,
In this round that goes round and round,
Another to take that place in my heart,
Where the memory of you is found.

So I sit and wait for that special hour,
When the vision of you will appear,
To dance for me – to light up my life,
Tonight and for all my years.
