Here is part 3 in our Government Is The Problem Series.

The bailouts that Washington D.C. has offered are hurting America and Americans more than you would think. The recent “craze” that is giving private industries government tax money to stay afloat, is reverse logic and quite stupid logic if you look at it through capitalistic glasses. If you gave every American a check for $2,500 it would cost the same as the Obama stimulus (3.27 trillion), but it would give the American worker immediate buying power, and we could make decisions for the market based off of our current needs.

This means if majority of that stimulus went to the automotive industry to buy Ford Rangers, then Ford would know that Americans crave Ford Rangers, and they would restructure their operations accordingly, making them more money and keeping them in the game for the long haul. Instead the money went directly to the companies and corporations (just pick one) with mandates from the public sector (the government) so what happens in the market isn’t based off of what the buyer needs it is based off of the government wants.

There is still hope though. General Motors or GM created an innovative automobile called the Chevy Volt . The Volt gets 230 mpg and is the definition of American ingenuity. There is no mandate from the feds, but Chevy still delivered based off of the American buyers needs. All businesses should take note of what Chevy has done. Try to create something that has never been done before, create a new idea, a new way to travel or a new way to live, then build it here and sell it here and you will find that we are the solution to the problems that have been created by those in Washington.

Obama loves to mention “politics as usual” well we can no longer to afford to do “business as usual”. We need to evolve and grow as a country of entrepreneurs and show the world that America is still the country of dreams come true.

Thanks!

Ok, I think it is time I address health care head on. I showed you the reaction of the crowds at town hall meetings in my post Health Care Backlash, but now I think it is time to really talk about the health care system in America and what changes we need and what changes we do not need.

Main Event Of The Evening:

Canada’s “Super Awesome” Health Care v. The United States’ “Ridiculously Evil” Health Care

First, lets take a look into Canada’s “Super Awesome” health care for a moment. In Canada you pay a tax to the government that is supposed to pay into the system for your own medical expenses (kinda like private health insurance eh?). When you go to the doctor (government employed) your bill is picked up by the government (well…..not really, you paid into something and then you get what you paid for, kinda like private health insurance eh?). Well, the average Canadian pays around $3,500 Canadian dollars in taxes towards health care as opposed to the “evil” American who pays roughly $6,500 to their private insurer.

This should be the first indicator that one of these systems isn’t quite like the other. In America we are Capitalists (kind of, we are slowly losing that title) and Canada is a hybrid of Socialism and Capitalism. Since we are Capitalists we create goods and services (like equipment that saves lives in hospitals; doctors and nurses who use them) and charge for them to make a profit, thus we create wealth through work, meaning there is no cap on how rich or poor you can be (theoretically). Since we live in this type of economic society, we generate large amounts of wealth and our money is valuable based on the merits that circulates it. Making our goods worth more but the amount of money we make is more as well….. so back to health care (keep this stuff in mind).

(story continues on…)

In America we pay for what we get. We pay more so we get more. If I walk outside and get bit by a snake, I can go to the ER and get treatment right then and there. Afterward, if my insurance doesn’t cover everything the hospital will give me a bill, if I can’t pay it from there than they will either subsidize the cost (through private enterprise) or they will put me on a payment plan. Pretty niffty eh?

In Canada the same rule applies. You pay less so you get less. If a Canadian walks outside and gets bit by a snake, they can go the clinic or to the hospital ER and seek treatment like any American can. Once they are there they will take a number to see a nurse. From there the nurse will rate the case on importance. if the case is important and curable they are moved to a position of importance but they still wait for treatment. If the case is important but incurable they take a back seat. If you get lucky enough to see a doctor in a timely fashion you will then be treated as a $3,500 dollars of Canadian money customer…..not good. If that snake bite take 3 vials of anti venom that will cost the federal government roughly $29,000 dollars, so I doubt you get what you need.

Here are some chilling stats that I got from Usnews.com:

Pretty scary eh? Oh and don’t think this is bull sh** either. This is 18 years of published data compiled into one graph last year.

The problem isn’t private enterprise. It is people in office who don’t have legitimate reasons to start a war over seas so they need to feel powerful. they need to make important decisions like whether or not you get your anti venom when you are bitten by a snake. Oh and don’t tell me that this health care plan is for the middle class. Taxes are mandatory and if this bill passes you will be paying a tax to support the “common good” under Obamacare. See if you are broke right now you have the option of dropping health care to meet other costs in your life, in Canada they don’t have that option. Feel lucky, feel blessed and feel proud that you have all these rights and all these freedoms! Do not give in to all of this sensationalism! Obama is a “cool” guy, sure I will give him that, but he is not a “cool” president, and I am not about to let government take away one of my freedoms so the 9% of this country who are uninsured can get sub-par coverage that they probably cant afford anyway!

Here are some videos that will get you going:

This is Steven Crowder, this video is long but AWESOME:

In essence, government is the problem here. They have not offered REAL reform. They have offered more of the same as Obama likes to put it, a classic liberal tax and spend expenditure that limits freedoms and choice in our society.

Thanks…..eh?

Michelle Malkin is a conservative blogger (one of the biggest) who went on the Today Show to promote her new book. While on the show Matt Lauer asked her some “tough” question only to find out this conservative beauty is probably 3x as intelligent as he is. To put it eloquently: Matt Lauer got OWNED! You can see it in his face at the end of the interview. Watch this lol :

Matt is nothing but a talking head for the Obama administration and he knows she made him look like a fool during this interview. I hope you enjoyed this!

Thanks!

Here are some more videos of the people protesting this “Obamacare” plan:

At the end of this video a gentleman asks a really good question of Congressman Russ Carnahan (D):

Thanks!

I find it hilarious every time I turn on the T.V. and watch MSNBC, the pundits are always mad at the electorate because we aren’t in favor of all this government spending. They are always defending the administration and also this health care plan better known as “Obamacare”. They were showing a video of Arlen Specter (the republican gone democrat from Pennsylvania), getting booed by his constituents when he was trying to sell “Obamacare” to them. I’ll show you the video, here a woman asks how we can trust the federal government to run health care when they couldn’t properly run “cash for clunkers”. Check it out:

This bill on “Obamacare” is so long that nobody is congress has read it there is no way they have. So how can they possibly come out and say it is a good idea to impose this on the American people if doesn’t work in any other country?

Here in this video, a soldier in St. Louis, MO really sticks it to Sen. Clair McCaskill’s (D) PR people at a town hall meeting. Instead of coming angry, he came angry and motivated and educated. Check him out:

People understand that government is terrible at running just about anything it tries to run. There are some post offices closing around the country because of companies like UPS are putting them in the ground on sales. Majority of us understand that Canada has a socialized health care, and the people there on average hate it. The system they have is single payer, so if you have a lot of money, and I mean a lot of money (I am talking $900 for a check up! That is $25 USD with United Health Care!) then the system is great, but if you are part of the middle class or lower middle class then the care you get is terrible. BUT IT IS FREE!!!! ISN”T THAT GREAT?!?!?! No, no it is not. the people there go to work, and make an honest wage for the amount of work they put in. Then the government will tax them, then the territory will, the state and the municipality gets their take. Then there is sales tax and a health care tax in your paycheck and in some municipalities they tax you for paying to much in taxes (and I am not joking).

The government of Canada gets all this revenue in taxes, and their program still sucks. I don’t know if I am not as “intelligent” as those bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., but my common sense tells me that this is a terrible idea with some really terrible results.

Thanks!
