OBAMMA BAIL OUT


Okay, I can’t claim originality here, but I’m at least going with “flash of obvious”. I was reading our good buddies Of Two Minds blog Thursday morning,

http://www.oftwominds.com/blogjuly11/promises-not-kept6-11.html

and was enjoying the stark math behind all the old bastards about to lose their free medical welfare ( you little whippersnapper! I earned every penny! I’m entitled! I’m part of the Greatest Generation!- I just decided to say it all for you so we can move on ). Well, my gloating was short lived, because it occurred to me that the old bastards aren’t going to lose their medical benefits. Well, they will, but I’m also going to lose another chunk of my paycheck to ALSO not get medical benefits. The Obammy Universal “It’s For The Children” Health Care Mandatory Insurance is not, and let me repeat myself here because you fools never pay attention, NOT about bailing out the medical industry. It is NOT about providing needy people with insurance. It is not about bailing out the insurance industry. It might accomplish all those things, but its primary goal is to bail out Obammy and the fed governments colossal, unpayable, unsustainable Medicare program.

The first question I would of course have asked myself is, why not just pull the plug on the program and let the old bastards die and save a bundle on Social Security also? I know you are all starting to snivel and wail and pointing quavering fingers in my direction and thinking I’m a heartless monster for daring to suggest something like this. Hey, if it wasn’t for federal government medical programs I wonder if my parents would still be alive. I’m not saying the ideal behind the program isn’t nice and fuzzy. I’m saying that the last time I checked we lived in a Constitutional Republic which until the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank engaged in NO welfare of any kind. Even wounded soldiers, those who slaughtered anyone trying to voluntarily leave the Union, got ( if I’m not mistaken ) a severance pay rather than a medical pension. The founders and most of the politicians for a hundred years opposed any kind of “compassionate spending”. They knew that once you opened that Pandora’s Box everyone would be suckling at the tit. Please don’t tell me your problems and why you need to be on welfare. I know it is a valid reason. I’m on indirect welfare myself through grants for the Food Bank where I work. Almost everyone is dependent on the federal government in today’s economy. But the simple reason it was opposed for so long is that all Ponzi schemes must end.

Only through the insane amount of free energy that petroleum gave us could we have put most of the economy on the public purse. Now that the energy is contracting, and hence our economy, so too the welfare state must contract. ALL programs will eventually be cut in real terms, and in fact have already been in the process of for several years. When the Fed Bank revs up inflation and the Fed Government eliminates Cost Of Living raises for Social Security, in reality that is a cut in entitlements. Now, Medicare is far, far worse fiscally speaking than Social Security. That poses the most immediate threat to the operating budget. Solution A is to force everyone to pay more taxes to keep the program afloat. For the simple fact that the central bank will allow absolutely no scaling back in borrowing which would threaten their income stream from interest payments on the government debt. If you “follow the money”, almost certainly the JFK assassination was all about eliminating an enemy of the bank.

In today’s environment, you can’t raise taxes. So, you force a “benefit” down people’s throats. Rather than raise the rate of Medicare tax ( which wouldn’t raise enough no matter how much you took ), you force everyone into a universal health care. Then you don’t have to bail out the Medicare debt, an impossibility, you just eliminate that obligation by instead offering an alternative that doesn’t cost as much. Because universal health care means taxes to pay for bad service no one is eligible for. Soon, medical education might be free, but probably not, but doctors wages will be capped at a very low level ( as will nurses, etc. ), malpractice subsidized by the government, and everyone will get equally poor service. Just like in England or Canada, but a uniquely American version that, just like elsewhere, privatizes a lot of the profit but pays for the losses through public funds. Almost socialized medicine. Not to “help” patients but to help the federal government eliminate most of its off the books obligations that threaten our solvency.

On other news, a big hoorah on wood fiber used in food as a filler. So? I can live with wood pulp. It’ll help clean out the colon. Far worse is the genetically modified foods we’ve been swilling down for twenty years, “food” that was barely tested for safety, if at all. Hell, go out shopping at the mall. Notice the really bizarre shapes humans are taking. I don’t buy completely into the “modern obesity”. Americans have been doing less and less and eating more and more for many generations. Some part, small or large I don’t know, can surely be blamed on unreal food we recently starting consuming.

According to http://libertariananimal.blogspot.com/ we’ve dodged the bullet another year as far as bad weather and our crop yields. But I wonder. If more and more acres were planted, but more than usual are producing marginal yields, are we out of the woods yet? Are the flooding dangers completely gone? Are there other global areas still losing yield from weather? Obviously, as has already been shown, a lack of our grain causes financial and military consequences that blow back on us quickly. It isn’t just the lack of bulk grain for our stockpiles, but gasoline prices, etc. Stay the course, don’t relax your paranoia.
