I Told You So

Fast Forward to the summer of 2014, and I will tell you here and now that, “I Told you SO!!” will ring true in your minds.

What am I blabbering about? Well if it isn’t already evident in the events since the opening of the ACA, Also known as “Obama care” website was opened (October 1, 2013). You know, the site that can’t seem to get its simplest functions to work. Yeah, that site.  Oh, and still to this day (November 6, 2013) still doesn’t work.

We all recall the president stating that …’you can call the phone number to apply for ACA…’ (I’m paraphrasing here). ‘Nothing works right the first time, this isn’t Amazon’… ( Or something like that)
So some people have signed up all to find out that No, they’re insurance will NOT be cheaper. Yet will have to pay double what they were paying before.

Oh, and the news of hundreds of thousands of people that have been dropped from their current plans do to the laws with in the ACA act that are forcing insurance companies to drop people. And then Obama’s team spins it to state that it is the insurance company’s fault that your insurance plan was dropped.
I'm sure by now that we all have heard the story of people that had a good plan that they looked but was notified that they were getting dropped as well. So, there goes another “miss spoken” note from the president. (B.S. I smell manure all of that one) In fact, if you think that you are going to be keeping you old plan and your old doctor you are either one of two things, Very rich and you are planning to pay everything anyway out of pocket, or your insurance plan stated that your will be able to keep you current plan at double the price until the summer of 2014.

So, many of you reading this probably say, “but nothing has changed with my current plan and my insurance hasn’t gone up…” or “…my company hasn’t changed my plan…” Well, just wait and see, once the employer mandate kicks in your plan will change or be dropped. Mark my words. You are just lucky that the president gave the employers that one year delay.

Seems that the republicans were doing the president a favor; in that 2 week standoff with the government shut down. Too bad the Democrats, and senate leader Harry Reid and the president didn’t take the offer.  Now all citizens who didn't have or have been dropped from insurance will have to sign up and get insurance to avoid being in violation of the law and have to pay a fine.

I have seen Lie after Lie from this president over everything that he has stated that was NOT going to happen. And I have seen and heard even more lies about what was going on with the Republican causing the shutdown to “holding the government ransom". All of which was the direct result of Harry Ried and the president to make people feel the pain. The president forces parks and other things to shut down to make it seem like the government actually affects all of these things if the Government is shut done. (How stupid are we to believe such B.S.)

So what are the numbers now a-days of the people that have been dropped from their insurance plans. Hmm. 100,000 people. Nope. 500,000. Nope. Try much higher like in the millions across the US.  Looks like ~7million people and counting to the latest number.

Oh, but don’t forget that you still have your insurance plan from your employer. Oh wait that agreement is to expire next year. Oops.

How many young people, single families, and single parent families do you think can afford to buy insurance that they don’t have or had but now have to pay more? How many people are on life support got the notice that they are getting their insurance dropped and/or they are going to have to pay even more higher deductibles in order to buy their next seizure pills? Or those that are to receive their life saving cancer treatments.

I don’t think that I have, in my life time, ever heard of soo much B.S. in my entire life come from the President and the government leaders (liberals). Everything from the “line in the sand”, Benghazi, fast and furious, IRS scandals, NSA Spying, Rosengate, the Watching of the AP, the Trayvon Martin issue, GSA Gone wild, Sebelius who violated the Hatch Act, Solyndra, AKA Lisa Jackson and the list goes on and on. I lost count at over 2 dozen scandals that this president and administration have covered up or chose to ignore.

So again, I will say it, “I told you so.” You will pay more for your health care. You quality of health care will go down. You will pay more for your health care. You will see people lose their jobs because of health care and people will have reduced hours to meet the rules of Obama care. Prices of everything you buy or consume will go up and you will be broke. few words of advice... Don’t get sick…

Taken America Back

Taken America Back

When is enough going to be enough?

I usually try not to speak out on politics and policies. But in all the years I have been following the governmental issues and observing the effects of policy on everything. I feel the pain of so many American's, I have briefly looked at what our country was founded on and how America came to be.

I see our freedoms being taken faster and faster every day. I feel like the whole reason we separated our selves from the colonial rule back in the 1700's has come full circle. We seem to be finding our selves right back under the rule, but that of our own government, like that of those times. We pay huge amount of taxes, and really have fallen slave to the government instead of the Government be servant to its people.

How many of you have heard the term the "green weenie"? In the military, soldiers would use this term to explain or express how he felt by the way he was being treated. Like when the superiors would put the screws to a soldier and make him or her do things that were very difficult or caused the soldier undue stress. Or freedoms were taken away or the soldier was mistreated in the name of the military and its leaders. Where the Superior is acting on orders that were past down to him but higher officials and in some cases the political arena.

This is what I think our government is doing to it's people. I feel that the government really doesn't care for a second what the american or the majority think. (I know that the majority voted these clowns into office) But I personally think that the majority doesn't vote. Instead I think that they stayed home or just didn't see a politician that they wanted in office. I personally think that people feel that it really doesn't matter because no mater how they vote the game is rigged. I have been told my whole voting life that even if you don't like the person or persons running for political offices and their policies. "Vote for the lesser evil."

You can see this as evidence when you hear a politician state that they are for some thing or will stand on an issue and then bend or break to other political powers and vote the opposite way. Like with border control and immigration reform. Bank Bailouts, AIG, GM and others. 

Our Biggest problem is that we "the people" don't care. Or we have a fear of our government and are afraid to stand against it. You feel it has gotten too big to go against. You may feel that if you try to organize you will be classified as a terrorist. Well I guess if this is true then our founding fathers were in your shoes going up against all odds when they took a stand against the king. 

Now we are going up against the biggest threat for our personal freedom and liberties. This is the biggest threat of our time and the politicians put a blind eye and def ear to the very same people that voted them into office. One is our massive debt of about 17 trillion and growing, Two "The 'Un'-affordable health care act"and others. 

I see all these scandals going on around the presidents administration such as the IRS, NSA, Benghazi, race baiting, and many many others. When will it stop? When will enough be enough? How much does the American people need to lose before things really need to change?

Have we lost our true blooded American back bone. Are we a bunch of sheep or leaders. How much more freedom do we need to give up? How much more BS are we willing to take from these politicians. Politicians that feel that they are higher then its people and continue to create laws that only benefit their cause and not that of the american people.

Maybe we haven't lost enough to be at that point of desperation. Maybe you personally and everyone around you needs to lose it all in order to decide to take a stand. Maybe we are weak feeble minded people and are brain washed in to accepting a failing government and weakening dollar. Are we accepting the fact that the passing of these policies and laws will do nothing but crush jobs and our future? Are we willingly wanting to give up everything that we worked hard to get over the centuries? When is time for these "talks" going to turn into actions?

These Media outlets care only about the bottom line and views, ad revenue, and political favoritism. Talk show hosts are just that, talk. The celebrities are nothing but high paid actors living in a dream and not on the level in which the average person lives. They speak only to gain the attention for their image and brand. 

There are always solutions to resolve these governmental issues. People need to wake up out of this coma and doing something about it.

Conspiracy Theories - About "stuff"

Conspiracy Theories - About "stuff"

I was taking the trash out the other day and was looking down the road and all I saw was tons and tons of trash. I thought to my self, ‘wow that is a lot of trash, where is all this stuff going, dump sites must be over flowing’.

So what happened to the days of things being built with quality in mind?Why are we are so driven to buy the latest and greatest of everything? Like Cars, Clothes, electronics, and other stuff? And once you buy the latest and greatest, why does it not last?

I’m guessing that is has a lot to do with big business and manufacturing. I also think it has a lot to do with the Government as well. Here’s and example of what I’m talking about.

I was sitting in my Grand mothers house the other day looking at a Microwave that had to have been at least 40 years old and it actually worked better that mine at my house, that I just bought that was 1100 watts, the quality of the material that went into her machine was better to. Mine just had a ton of plastic pieces and more buttons. I some times had to nuke my meal twice just to get it hot enough to eat. But not her machine, I put a hot pocket in that thing and it was done in less time than the direction specified (with out a cold center, cooked all the way through).

So how does this have to do with the government and big business? Well there was a president recently and also in the 50s that stated that we as a nation need to become more consumer based and purchase more to get the economy going. And so the Big businesses said well, if we are going to need people to spend more money then we need to make cheaper products and also advertise things to the tune of people wanting everything they see on a TV commercial, or read in a magazine or see on a billboard. So business started making cheaper and cheaper quality products to sell to the public.We have to make them feel like buying the product will change their lives and make them feel good.

Women fall victim to the spending “hook” everyday. Everything that is sold or shown on TV, movies, commercials, News, magazines… everywhere is geared for women (and men, But we are only talking about the women for now). Ever go shopping with a woman, your mother, or daughter or other? And lets say that you are looking for a mans pair of gloves and hat. (The reason I mention this is because I was looking for one the other day with my wife). So we went to a local shopping area that is basically a street lined with tons of shops all the way down the road. It was very cold out side so I wanted to find a simple pair of gloves and a nice warm hat. We went from shop to shop up this road and to be honest I must have seen about 30 shops that didn’t contain anything for men. I saw about 25 of those 30 that had tons of hats of all kinds and gloves. But, luckily by the time we reached the end of the road there was women’s story that literally had only one self that had only two hats to choose from and no gloved. I never did find and gloves that day; only the little beanie hat.

This is not the only place that you see this type of setup that is strictly for the women. You can see this in malls, big box stores and a lot of other places. Now of course I’m not talking able the Men’s stores like suits and shops that are specifically for guys. But for men we have a whole other ball of wax to talk about here.

So why is this, the case? Well the answer is very obvious its in and on everything. It’s all around us. Like I stated before it’s on TV, commercials, movies, billboards poster, everywhere. Woman are told on some of these commercials it if you are feeling bad buy “X” product. Or look at these “women” the House wives and look at all the money they spend and the clothes they wear and the things they own. “Don’t you wish you could be like them?” It’s all a mental mind game.

This same trick is being played on guys as well. We see it the same why, we see the hot women and or girls on TV and we think what is it that attract that kind of woman to guys? And then you see the guy that is handsome and or topless with muscles everywhere. And you think well I could lose a little weight, I need to go to the gym. Or I need to buy that product that they are selling to help me lose weight or get into shape like that guy. Or they portray a normal looking guy that gets all the girls if he buys this cologne that makes the girls flock to him.

Most of men that I know including my self we are pretty much comfortable with the stuff we have and not require much. We don’t need to stay on top of the latest fashion; we don’t care about the latest CD or Car. We are happy just to get what we have a keep what we have and make it last.

This cycle continues to go round and round all the time. Making you buy everything they are selling or a similar product. Just like the smart phone wars. And the thing is that everyone for the most part knows that the technology with change every year an some times every six months and the Corporations know this. This brings me to the next topic.

Big business knows already months ahead of time that they will be releasing a new product every so often to keep it customers coming back for more. Like the iPhone. Every year just about there has been a new release of the iPhone. They always add new features (software) and change the hard ware just enough to make you say I want that phone. The thing is do you really need to upgrade? The honest answer is no. But you want to stay up with technology and not be left behind, so you want the phone. This effect is the same across all products.

I will add more about this topic later on. I figure I would share my thoughts on the topic.{EAV:8ff0d881873374d6}
