Hi, Sorry but this is my therapy, so i will and do spew,

I must say that the politics in the good old U. S. of A is about as dismal as I can remember.  I can not think of a better  policy for the Government to get involved with than to improve ”Health care/Insurance” . Every year the premiums increase? I wonder who is benefiting from   keeping the Status quo ? maybe some republican politicians, or talking heads?  How can anyone support Pre-existing conditions?? and on and on. From my 30 min. research, it looks like America pays more for health Insurance than anyone in the world , by 20% ! Yet Americans don’t have the best health care?? well let me clarify that a bit, most americans don’t , but I am  more than confident in saying  that Sarah Palin or Glenn Beck, or maybe the Republican Whip Eric Cantor  have the best health care in the world. In fact Americans as an average ,score around #20 in the world, based on longevity or infant mortality. 

Its funny because we Americans generally feel that we  are no 1 in the world, But we are not, and  we are slipping down that slope that so many before , have careened down .But please take the time and research exactly where we are on health care, education and on and on  in the world? 

An I must say a thing or 2  about the Tea party,  how much are American’s  really taxed ? more than Australia, Ireland, france, England ?. Your right we Americans pay less than all of those countries?  Hell maybe that is why our  roads, subways, infrastructure is  in ruin . Please send Tea activist to  countries that pay little taxes and see if they would like America to turn into that? You can’t be no 1 and  not pay your way! quite whining and pay up or move to Congo. No taxes, no roads, no education, no EPA, no FDA, no Social security, and no police.

These folks that are intent on hijacking the U.S. government ( sounds like Iraq invasions again) . As Jim Beck said last week ,  their  goal is to remove progressive policies that started  with Woodrow Wilson, that means no Social Security, no Medicare, no Pubic education, no unemployment Insurance. Which if you don’t know, started  in response to the depression ,offer the public protection during economic trauma. Hmm, wonder what party is most responsible for these Socialistic programs? Can you imagine what Republican would do /say if Obama was trying to pass a Medicare?

During the last presidential contest , it was stated that the republican party is  the “Do nothing party” ,, wait no that can’t be true?  no they did try to tie our “Social Security” into Wall Street/Stock market. Hmmm , that would have worked out well, Wonder if their would have been a windfall for  the Republicans?

In some situations the market will reward the best company? But not always. How about cell companies?  America is no 1? I have been in the middle of Cambodia , with better cell coverage than I can get between Milford and Manchester NH??. Oh, oh, this may be  a shock  ( another socialistic cell) but many countries cell tower system is nationalized, they put in the towers to get the best service, what a concept.

My biggest worry is that our American System seems to be more dysfunctional than usual. In our 2 party systems,  the goal is to work together to move  forward  the business of American government ( pass bills for the betterment of all American citizens). But if one party is committed to disrupt and obstruct for no other reason than to see the other party lose, than  All of us Americans lose.

I have no issue with Republican, hell I agree with eliminating waste, and implementing what is truly effective  I just believe there is a fringe element  that has hi-jacked  the  right  wing media,  that misrepresents  the truth for no other reason  than to  manipulate the american population  for their purposes. 

But as they say people in countries get what they deserve.

Good night, I will not do this again. I will post a Ski trip to Kashmir next week!
