The Deficit That Ate Middle America

*I was watching a health special on Disease Detectives via the Discovery Channel Health the other day. 'Undiagnosed diseases'---actually Hard-to-Diagnose Diseases.' And I was struck by the matter-of-fact statement that the NIH didn't choose to examine or try to diagnose and help a patient if IT DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL. In other words, let's not look into illness that subjects our understanding of health matters to too much strain. We go home at five, you know. Is that what we can expect from Government Health-Care? 'Sorry Joe. We don't know what you have and don't think we can find out. So, you'll die in a hospice---but we'll make you comfortable in your bed---with comics and movies, you know.'

And the NIH serves up to three patients a week. Wow!! The glory of it all! All those $billions for this?

It's all these things about health-care that might slip through the understanding of the public conscience these days as we give hoopla to the vastly expensive health-care system proposed by the 'do as little as you can but make the taxpayers [now and in the future] pay for it' mind-think of Obama and pals. Remember, most of the program won't start until 2014---though the taxes and fines start now [which will be spent on other things---and that'll be two years out from the ousting of Obama. So, the Democrats are set to blame all the upcoming ills on the new administration. No wonder they voted yes. They're planning for the future!

*So says Nancy Pelosi as reported by Real Clear Politics: "It injects demand into the economy," Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said of unemployment checks. "It creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name."
Employed Men Wait on line to receive their 'paychecks', called 'Pelosis'
Pelosi calls unemployment checks a "stimulus" that is a "double benefit" helping "those who lost their jobs" and at the same serves as a "job creator" "It's impossible to think of a situation where we would have a country that would say 'we're not going to have unemployment benefits,'" Pelosi said."
*I notice that whenever a non-Liberal paper, position, or action is taken anywhere in sight, the ubiquitous 'critics' are always semi-quoted to attack such a paper, position, or action: such as, 'critics say.'

I believe we should know who the 'critics' are. In many cases, they are radical individuals who have an ax to grind somewhere. The media journalists simply hide all the crazies with a couple of bona-fide people in the catch-all phrase 'critics.'

When the shoe is on the other foot, any critics of a Liberal paper, position, or action are named and identified in detail. Is this a double-standard? Well, you'll never get a journalist to admit it---or any Liberal bias in his/her writing.

*I keep hearing and seeing TV ads for the Democrat's running to be elected Governor of Connecticut. They never mention the Obama administration or the Democrats in general. They claim to be free from 'special interests'---though that term has never has been adequately defined. For Democrats, 'special interests' include anything or anybody not a Liberal. These runners for the Governorship already are beholding to the Democrat/Liberal/Socialist parties, black activist groups, and labor unions---and that means they are bad for any state where they might wield power.

*We need a short essay exam for all wannabes for National political office. To be filled out by the candidate, not his/her staff. [I'm working on a sample now. It'll show up in my blog soon.]

*Between the Obama administration and Liberal judges, our Country may not have long to live. The World's only super power? Not if Obama can help it. His recent releasing of a Yemeni terrorist---with a Liberal judge approval---is just another sign that he doesn't care about America as long as someone somewhere likes him for his action. And, of course, he cannot stand by while a or Muslim is imprisoned for a verified terror act.

*The White House announced a $1.47trillion deficit for this year.
An appropriate tombstone---but with the wrong date. Obama needed another day or two to complete his work.
The White House and the Democrat Congress seem no longer interested in reducing this deficit as in increases our National Debt past $13 trillion. Cost to attend Obama's birthday bash? $30,000 donation to the Democrats. According to Joe Biden: "Biden said now that Wall Street reform is finished and signed into law, the administration could go out and make its political case for its accomplishment." What accomplishment? Near US bankruptcy? $1.4Trillion deficit? $13Trillion National Debt? The ruination of the World's best health-care and society in America? Please Joe explain your accomplishments so the average citizen can understand you. And don't lie about them like you usually do.

*From Joe Biden again: "The vice president said Republicans "are wildly out of step" with popular opinion on a broad range of issues from holding oil companies responsible for cleaning up the spill in the Gulf, to supporting basic regulations that would prevent another meltdown on Wall Street, to extending unemployment insurance to those who lose their jobs." Doesn't a Joe Biden come with ears? So, common sense and a desire to save the economy and the US is "out of touch?" Joe is the epitome of the proverbial snake-oil salesman. When will he stop singing 'What Kind of Fool am I?' at the Congressional All Star Revue?

*The Democrat Congress took the time this year to officially honor golfer Phil Mickelson, the Chicago Blackhawks hockey team, NASCAR driver Jimmy Johnson, the Penn State women's volleyball team, and the 142nd season of the Saratoga race course in New York. By the way, the Congress also spent us into a $1.4Trillion deficit while destroying the economy. And, according to Joe Biden, ' all the Congressional work needed has been finished.' For the next 90 days, the Democrats will be in campaign mode.


*Another revelation about the lies from the Democrats/Liberals/Socialists in the administration and Congress: from 'Times Watch' on Media Research Center' website: "FOX News didn't run a report on the controversy until AFTER Sherrod had resigned under White House pressure and AFTER the NAACP had issued a press release condemning Sherrod. Yet in “For Fired Agriculture Official, Flurry of Apologies and Job Offer,” reported by Sheryl Gay Stolberg, Shaila Dewan, and Brian Stelter, and written by Stolberg, THE TIMES CHOSE TO BLAME a cabal of “right-wing Web sites” and FOX News for fostering the Sherrod scandal which led to her dismissal. As if Fox forced Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to do its right-wing bidding without ever actually running a single story on Sherrod until AFTER her firing, when the point became moot."

Don't you Democrat/Liberal/Socialist/and sometimes Communist adherents ever get tired of lying? Fox News is a fair and balanced Network and reports news. Only its columnists and show hosts provide opinion---and not always Conservative. I've tried to follow the other news networks---even the regular networks---and found them to be so biased to the left, that I couldn't get a fair report out of them. And the TV networks with shows other than news are also spouting leftist principles. Case in point is NBC's 'Law and Order.' It's drifted so far left now, I can't watch it.
