So I Lied......cool however!
I said I would only blog once on the "stupidly" issue....but this was too funny not to post. Thanks to the Twister for his submission!
Man up Mr. President....not cool
Being aware of the mountain of press this issue has already gotten.....I will blog only once on this issue.
The whole Stupidity comment:
For any of you living under a rock....here is the original clip
then he goes on to "apologize????????
So we are going to have beers at the White House? Really....Doesn't Obama have enough on his plate.
He made a mistake....He should of just manned up and apologized. Instead he cannot just do that...He tells us it is a teaching moment and have a beer.
He can apologize for The United States all over the world....amazing when he is absolutely in the wrong......he cannot just say sorry and move on.
Man Up!

More Common Sense.....cool!
I am totally against the government running more of our health care. I do believe that we need to have the programs we do have, as discussed in my earlier post. These are the safety nets that compassionate people believe in. It's unfortunate that the government cannot even get these programs correct.
The country cannot afford to pay for everybody's health care on the backs of the 10-15% of the population that actually pay most of the federal income tax. They are going to have to tax everyone....or cut services so bad that we will be going to Canada for their crappy benefits. If we want a safety net....fix and expand the ones we have.
With that being said....The one issue we do not have in this country is catastrophic health care insurance. It's not the 1-2k of expenses that may come up in a year that financially crush people. It's the 50-500k once in a lifetime issue that puts them in the poor house. We should add catastrophic health care.....let's say with a 3-5k deductible. This way, people who may not have the best plan, or may not have insurance do not get crushed when the worst happens.
This would help the middle class....the majority of the United States. Clean up and get Medicaid and Medicare right! That is the safety net. Add catastrophic health care...I am not sure how....but it has to be easier then starting a whole new program.

The Common Sense needs to begin.....cool!
The discussion of Heath care has to first begin with some clarifications.
First things first...we already have at least three programs for health care in the country that the government runs....Medicare, Medicaid and health care for veterans.
Medicaid is the United States health program for eligible individuals and families with low incomes and resources.
Medicare is a social insurance program administered by the United States government, providing health insurance coverage to people who are aged 65 and over, or who meet other special criteria.
And I believe we have all seen the horror stories on 60 minutes regarding the VA.
I am not aware of the financial issues of the VA, But both Medicaid and Medicare are in trouble financially. By the definitions, I would think that we have health care covered. Old people...special needs people and poor people are all covered.
It's a fact that these program do not work financially....both programs do not have the money to run in the future.
The question is? are these good programs?....if they are...then fund them correctly and we are done....if the real reason for this trillion dollar boondoggle is truly to help that 49 million un-insured, then these programs should do the trick.
If the programs do not run effectively....fix them first.....show us Big Government that you can fix what you have before you start a new, and what could be, an overlapping program.

Common Sense Government.....cool!
After my two and a half week hiatus I am back to start tpo promote Common Sense Government.
Health care is the new hot topic. We have moved from taking over the financial and car industries to the take over of the health care industries. The 1,000 page bill that is rolling through congress right now is bad for the US. We need to all stop this boondoggle before it bankrupts the country.
Obama and the crew tell us it's all about the un-insured....the 49 million Americans that cannot get insurance....oh wait....maybe "cannot get" is not the right wording...the number is now in play. I have heard the count may be as low as 11 million when you take out people who make enough money but choose to have the big screen instead of insurance.....take out the illegal aliens...that's right they are counting them too.....or should I call them the soon to be new citizens....and next thing you know the number is 11 million. Sounds like a lot... 4.4% of the population. Is the tail wagging the dog on this issue?
Anyway....if it's only about them, then why the 1.5 trillion dollars of more debt? That's close to 300k per person to fix the issue.....I think that math is right....my calculator does not do well with trillions.
In my next blog, I will explain my "common sense" thoughts to this issue
