entitlements

I wish to address your concerns with the RIGHT (correct) wing thinking of true conservatives. As you know, when a person with diminished thinking starts to blow his money or just gives it away, (A drunken sailor named Ted Kennedy comes to mind)a CONSERVATOR is appointed by a judge to conserve his assets.; Our government now desperately needs a conservator -NOT a bleeding heart, power grabbing, leader who gives out not just help to the unfortunate but a new ENTITLEMENT without funding. The Liberals wish to extend medicare to people 55 to 65. No one questions that medicare needs huge subsidies from the taxpayers. Can you think of any company that would want to pay the insurance for anyone over 55? Then there is the rest of the 30 million who would be given subsidy (in effect Medicaid).  Republicans are vilified for trying to get tort reform and other COST saving ideas included. These hypocrites will jam this reform down our throats even though it has only 35% approval of the population. The drug coverage law will be chump change compared to this. You, being rich, are expected to cover the expense.; I, being poor, wish to thank you.I think that the congress should follow the Hippocratic Oath “first do no harm”. Many, many times the best thing is to do NOTHING. All too often the law of unintended consequences comes down with grave consequences. Yes, my libertarian leanings go too far, but the constitution says that states keep those powers NOT delegated to the Federal government. How do you justify all the federal mandates that a bureaucracy forces on the states often times without necessary funding. Why do we have to provide matching funds and meet arbitrary rules to get back part of the money we sent to Washington? Where does that funding ultimately come from?? You and me babe. We are still a contributor state getting back less than 100% of the money we send. Our senators and congressmen apparently have little influence in spite of their longevity even though they are democrats. Puppets and loudspeakers come to mind.
The current housing collapse was caused by Barney Frank and other liberals who insisted that banks extend loans to everyone who asked for a mortgage. I am sure they thought that ever escalating prices of homes would cover any losses. Banks dreamed up a plan to offset the losses they thought would occur by selling “default bets” but apparently not enough to cover the collapse that did happen.  I think that the Fed caused the problem so it was their obligation to make the loan which is being paid back with interest. Net effect of the bank loans to the deficit I don’t know.Democrats have taken over the GREEN movement because of its well meaning adherents who don’t research the facts (who always vote democrat) but believe the PROFIT driven leaders.
I refuse to call then democrats anymore because it implies the will of the people instead of just the ""rulers.
