Health Care and Other Entitlements

It has been quite a while, since I wrote on any of my blogs. I noticed last year, while watching CNN, that they were carrying segments on the news entitled "Searching for the Truth," and that is when I thought that perhaps, I had been selected as the "Pajamas Media," as I had heard someone mention on television that someone was the "Pajamas Media." Now, I am not trying to be arrogant, but I do know that I am the person who wrote about a "weight czar" on my main blog in a joke about the Mayor getting a brilliant idea to buy pay scales for the firemen and police officers who were demanding pay scales for years of working with no raises. I wrote that each officer would be required to weigh once a week by putting money in the scales, but a weight czar would have to be hired to collect the money and determine what the ideal weight is. So then, I have noticed everyone talks about placing czars in control of government positions, and about ponzi schemes, etc, that I wrote about on my main blog. I also noticed that when I went to an Atlanta Braves game last summer with my youngest son, Matthew, that on the big screen they played a "shell game" type quiz for people to answer. I also wrote about shell games.

Then I mentioned in my car, on the way to Atlanta, that he should have made a sign to take to the game. When we walked into the game, there was a table set up with poster boards and markers for people to make signs, and I said to Matthew, come on over here and make a sign, and he refused to. Then I overheard someone say, "he wanted to make a sign in the car while she was driving here, but then he refused to make a sign when they got to the game." I knew they were talking about me and my son. So, you see I know that I have been listened to, and then had people try to destroy me for knowing things that I know that I am the one who wrote it all!

That is my truth for today, about me, now back to the Health Care Debate, sorry I got off track. Now, the truth of the matter is that we cannot pay for all of the entitlements that we already have today from years of socialism gone astray, and we most certainly cannot afford for government to try to fix anything. I mean I would not trust a member of Congress to unstop my toilet! I wrote an email to Congressman Jim Marshall, and ask him to please get out of the way of Health Care. Of course good ole Jim sent me a canned response back about how they were going to try to fix the situation, blah, blah, blah. I really do respect Jim Marshall, and did vote for him, but it is time to get new blood in the 8th District of Georgia, someone who understands that we are a Republic not a Democracy. Afterall, Congressman Marshall has been Mayor of Macon and in the US House for long enough. I believe that Congressmen and Congress Women should serve only one term, put themselves on Social Security and outlaw pensions for themselves. So, that is my truth for today.
