Soap Box Archives Bigger Messes Yet to Come I heard a joke one time about two guys who were buying watermelons from a farmer for a dollar, hauling them to market and selling them for a dollar. It didn't take long for them to realize they were losing money. When they discussed what to do about their dilemma, they decided they should get a bigger truck. I can't think of a better analogy to what the President and Congress are doing to America. They keep pouring money into car companies that don't have a chance of surviving because they refuse to acknowledge the real problems, which are the entitlements they're saddled with, and people just don't want to buy their products. Nobody seems to know where the billions they've already given out have disappeared to, but we do know that millions of dollars were mailed to people who are dead and buried And I wonder how many of these checks will be returned. Don't hold your breath. But Mr. Obama and his cohorts just keep buying a bigger and bigger truck, throwing money around in amounts which have never before been heard of for any nation and which no nation can afford. Even Obama -in one of the most hypocritical speeches I've ever heard- made the statement that the current federal spending debacle is not sustainable. If it's not sustainable, why doesn't he just put an end to it? He's the one instigating it anyway. And if you think the bailouts are a mess, just wait until they take over healthcare, and don't delude yourself, no matter what they say, government takeover of the healthcare industry is exactly what they have in mind. When Medicare is being cheated out of billions of dollars a year, and rapidly going broke, what rational person could possibly think that the government can run a program ten times as big as Medicare It will be perpetually bankrupt regardless of how much money is poured into it. It is a doomed program that will lower the standard of healthcare for every American The only government program that has been managed successfully by the federal government is the military and it only works when the politicians stay out of it and let the military professionals run the show. When politicians get involved things like Korea, Viet Nam, and Somalia happen. For the first time in the history of America an American President fired the head of a private American company, and replaced him with someone he and his administration hand picked. This is a harbinger of bigger messes to come. Before the United States government takes over private business and healthcare, they need to learn how to run the post office, stop the catastrophic corruption in Medicare and keep their dirty, grubby hands off the Social Security taxes the citizens pay into the program. They have stolen billions of dollars from Social Security to fund their silly little socialistic programs that have failed anyway. Do you want a bureaucrat telling you when you can have a gall bladder operation or inform you that you don't qualify for a life saving process for some technical reason or another. How about some desk jockey telling you when your child can have their tonsils taken out or get their glasses changed. Does that sound silly to you? Well just check with someone in Canada or England. You see folks; this is not about having compassion and wanting everybody to have healthcare. This is about control over your life. You can believe it now or you can believe it later, but believe it you will. What do you think? Pray for our troops, and our country God Bless America Charlie Daniels
