Prescription for Disaster

The US Senate is moving ever closer to joining the House of Representatives to pass a health reform plan with a public option. The public option will crowd out any other option as the government will have three advantages. First, government will set the rules, which will obviously be geared to the government's benefit. Second, the government will be the arbiter of compliance with said rules. This is like having a sporting event where your referee is actually a member of the opposing team. Third, the government does not need to show a profit or even have the government option be revenue neutral. Unlike any business, the government, with its monopoly of force, may simply raise taxes to pay for their competing option or print more money from the Treasury's overheating presses that are already working overtime to feed the inflationary demands of Obama's ever-growing government. Along with failures on the foreign policy front, the domestic destruction continues to tear at struggling households and public option will only exacerbate the average family's plight. So too will cap and trade legislation, meant to fight global warming, now being termed man-caused climate change as growing skepticism was beginning to torpedo warming claims. Cap and tax will add to the burden of the beleaguered family budget with no measurable effect on the environment which answers not to man's intervention but God's intention. The effort is simply one more way to separate you from your money and limit your freedoms, being pushed by vested interest promoters who stand to make billions if cap and trade passes.
