It’s been a day since the results have come in and after over $6 billion spent on campaigns across the country, nothing really changed. Barack Obama retained the presidency; Democrats retained control of the Senate; and Republicans retained control of the House.
I’ve had a day now to recover from the disappointment, but I’m still sick to my stomach with a loathsome dread of what lies ahead. Are we looking at four more years of the same failed policies we’ve seen in the last four years or will things get even worse?
One thing is certain, Obamacare won’t be repealed which means that Americans are facing between $2,500 and $4,000 in tax increases that Obama promised he wouldn’t do. It also means that thousands of private practice doctors will be leaving their practices within the next year or two.
The job market doesn’t look too bright either. Obama bragged about the number of jobs he created in October, but failed to tell us that one of the sectors that had an increase in jobs was the federal government. The last thing we need is a larger government. Like a malignant cancer, the federal government is spreading and in time will become so large that it will kill the country, just like it kills the body. Cont. Reading
Below is a comment I had from one of my nieces on facebook in regards to the new healthcare bill. In her 13 year old son's case it might probably be the deathcare bill. He has a condition known as PKU which means his body produces so much protein that he can't have any additional protein. The reason being that it would "fry" his brain. He has been dependent on a special type of milk for substance all of his life which is extremely expensive and was previously covered by his insurance. Her post is below:
ReplyDelete"Personally i didn't fully agree with either candidates thoughts on many things but the one thing that made me choose who i wanted as president had to do with my son James Rock..under obamacare he will suffer with his PKU because his milk that he HAS to drink for him to grow strong and help his mind grow will not be covered under his ins. and thier is no way i will be able to afford his milk. It is about 600.00 a month for his milk. It is bad enough that i cannot afford to buy his medical food already. my son has suffered enough and now he will suffer more."
