Seems some are seeing that Obamacare ain't all it's cracked up to be. I remember I was sitting with a friend in a car when we heard the news that the so-called Affordable Care Act had passed. I told him then and there that all this was going to do was pump a bunch of money into large corporations. If any concessions were gotten from them, they could quickly be done away with through lobbying. It's that easy to understand. It's not rocket science. With that out of the way, let me show you an equation that anyone who argues the Affordable Care Act is good thing simple has to make:
Forcing people to purchase a product that some corporations calls "Health Insurance" = Healthcare
Do you see the mental disconnect? There was no thought put toward the cost that have spiraled out of control for healthcare, which can easily be argued was in large part due to corporate involvement. See, the corporations have already defined what healthcare is, therefore our government has to accept that definition. That definition will undoubtedly need further refinement to meet corporate needs. "Affordable" will meet the same fate. I wonder if Pepperidge Farm® remembers when the USA was a free country? I remember!
Those of you who've actually supported or continue to support Obama, I'd like to know what you think his legacy is going to be. He's literally done nothing but continued the policies of the previous regime, expanded them and forced us to buy a useless product. He's pumped our tax dollars into corporations just like the previous regime, forced us to spend our pre-tax dollars on a useless product (that has to be a wet dream for future dictators), expanded the spying the country does on its own citizens and everyone else, largely continued the same foreign policy that most everyone was sick of under the previous regime. I do have to laugh how Russia's getting involved in Syria has caused some reaction (I guess everyone can't be ignored). And, of course, here in the Land of the Free, you can't criticize a "black" man.
Maybe one day we can move past the petty shit and be grown-up enough to accept criticism, but that's not going to happen any time soon. And, hey, Obama did get a Nobel Peace Prize!
I guess we could suck the Norwegian ones too!
