Game On?

Health Care Basketball

              It appears that the game is officially on after watching even sensible senator after senator cave last week into the Democrats’ road to socialized medicine.  Most blatant was the $300 million bribe that successfully purchased the vote of Senator Mary Landrieu to clear the way towards debating the largest-potential- government-purchase of the free market in history.  We have now hit the point to where the senate floor will now actually debate the merits of socialism . . . .  that’s socialism – and with a $1 trillion price tag.  President Reagan reminded us that freedom will constantly be one generation away from extinction.  This final vote, should the bill matriculate through debate, will bring this generation one step closer to this.


               
The above video by the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest details just what this “gift” from the government will be like.  Not only is this approach by the government morally bankrupt, it is mathematically, economically, and financially impossible to carry out the long-term benefits it claims.   But what does that matter?  Over the course of the rest of the debate on healthcare reform, we are going to see unprecedented amounts of bribery – at least that in the public eye – by the Dems to ensure that enough votes are secured.  We will be watching . . . the bribe count must begin . . .  But what is a few extra million or billion here or there when Washington has rewritten the standard for first-year spending by an administration?  Thus, the SRLC 2010 will be reinforcing our base so that country does not lose its base.  For it is not about politics, it is about policy.  Policy that is based upon moral fabric and grounded in economic and fiscal theory.  But, mostly, when you’re right . . . you’re right.

                 Yes, it is game on . . . and it is time to stand up and fight before it is game over!
