•Financial Meltdown • Ft. Hood • Stimulus •Public Option•

Connect the dots. Our government has failed in regulating our financial system resulting in one of the worst financial debacles in history. The military bureaucracy in an effort to be politically correct ignored signals that could have prevented the recent terrorist blood bath at Ft. Hood.  The President’s stimulus package has not prevented a rapid and uncontrollable rise in unemployment. Despite these disastrous results, some still want to rely on bureaucrats to manage, control or administer programs that have a major impact on Americans.

Connect the dots. We are continually presented with evidence that clearly shows the ineptitude of politically influenced government run programs and delivery systems.  Yet some continue to press for the government to get involved with not only regulating, but in providing us with an alternative to private sector health insurance.  Evidently they are not able to connect the dots or more than likely can, but refuse to recognize the ineptitude that is inherent in big government programs.

Government Management–Oxymoronic

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Recently we saw our government’s first effort to give itself another giant pork barrel. How anyone can believe that a new bureaucracy will give us efficient health care is beyond me. What have they ever managed efficiently? Certainly not Social Security, the financial markets or the many wars we are engaged in. But, like Blind Boone, we are going down the road often traveled, giving our government control over our lives and finances. We keep doing it without regard for its dismal record of failures. Unfortunately in this case past performance is indicative of future results. If the Senate does not act with pragmatic wisdom, we are doomed to be a nation of tin cup holders begging for alms from the state.
