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.

Taking our country back

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. 

   

If You were voted into office...

Obama Wins another 4 years

That is the news for today 11/7/2012.

I have a confession to make... I didn't vote for Obama. To be honest I didn't really want to vote at all. As I have found over the years that no mater who is in office there is almost always empty promises or things that never get fixed or promises that never are followed through.

So for the past few elections I have posed this senior and question that I wanted to share with everyone. I also wanted to get your feed back as well.

If you were President (King) for a day (24 hours), and you could change any laws or anything. And everything you decided went in to affect immediately and no one could stop it; what would you do?

Okay, so with that question being posted this is what I would do if I were president for a day.
***Warning all things that I state below are of my own opinion and may hurt your beliefs and feelings, so don't get upset, Or maybe you should leave this page now.***

• The tax would be a flat 10% not higher

• They would get all the benefits like the military get like tri-care insurance and once their term was up they can elect to keep it and pay out of pocket for it or loose it. (so once they leave that all ends)

*** NOTE: I don't not condone use of or selling of drugs at all. I feel they are a waste of time and money and life.

If the teacher feels that student is failing to learn, that student will be held back and/or attend summer school)
• Electric companies will not be able to raise rates and add additional fees with out a public vote. (The ballot will be written in clear simple English)
• Red light camera's will ONLY be used for traffic purposes NOT for collecting funds for the cities they are placed in.

This list goes on an on but I will stop here for now and clarify the reasoning behind most all things that I have listed.

One of the big ones for me is the Tax thing. Everyone pays the tax in one form or another. But it is obvious that not all people pay the same. I understand the need for government and the need for government funding. So that's why I didn't totally get rid of it. I did make it an even playing field no mater if you are a minimum wage person or a billionaire. Everyone would be paying the same rate.

Lets look at a few examples shall we. I know that most all voters believe that the rich should be taxed more and that people think they are the problem. I would say that people that think like this need to look at the broader picture. Ask your self these questions:

1. Have you ever got a job from a Poor man? (long term, longer then one year)
2. Have you ever had the money to donate to research, or humanitarian projects?
3. Has a poor person ever owned a business? that lasted longer then a year? If so, how many employees were on the pay roll? And where is that business now?
...

I really don't know of any poor people that can afford a million dollar home, car, boat, yacht, vacations... and so on. All of these things would be taxed the average person doesn't buy a new car every year or six months just to have a new car. Or buy a $10,000 watch or expensive jewelry. 

I think I made my point here. If not you can comment an I will elaborate or answer any questions you have. (But before you do, read the fair tax act book first)

So now you may be wondering, 'well, how is the government going to survive with only 10%?'... Well this is were the government will be doing its job to make it survive with the limited funds it does have. We all agree that the government wastes a ton of money every quarter and doesn't stop growing in dept but instead of stop the bleeding of money they gain more debt and/or raise taxes or come up with a new tax system or law. By me reducing the amount that they are allowed will force them to thinks smarter and work for their money.

One major reason I stated that the politicians will only make no more the $100k per year with not pension or benefits after is because a lot of money is being spent right there every month for politicians that are currently there and for those that were in office. This will also place them on the same playing level as all the rest of their populous like those that have voted them in to begin with.

I think this is a good stopping point for now. So if you would please give a response below that would be greatly appreciated. I will review and add more to this topic as I am very well aware that I need to explain more on the things I have listed above. Granted the list is very short.

Till next time. Have a great day.
