Happy Birthday Mom

Mom passed away February 8, 2009 from cancer but today would be her 77th birthday. With all Today's news about birthers, deathers and life support for the government plan I am most grateful for the common sense Mom instilled in my brothers & I. For example, Mom was hosptitalized last election Day and she was adamant about getting released early enough to go vote. Life was the ultimate issue for Mom and she knew that when a society placed so little value on it as to label abortion as a simple "choice" instead of a childs life a slide down the slippery ethical slope was inevitable. It is no wonder today that the left simply cannot understand why senior citizens would oppose rationing with Pete Singer writing in the NY Times about QALY's and stunning deficits being generated. But Mom knew Obama's record on Life defined him as a politician and he had pledged to make his first presidential action to sign the FOCA.

I wonder when the left is going to discover the fact dissent at town halls is being generated by a an awakening in America?

So much for Transparency In Government HeathCare Goals

Thank God some people are actually reading and reporting on the the actual provisions included in the current stimulus package as it relates to Health Care and providing insight into the hidden agenda this package includes.

Ruin Your Health With the Obama Stimulus Plan: Betsy McCaughey

The stimulus bill will affect every part of health care, from medical and nursing education, to how patients are treated and how much hospitals get paid. The bill allocates more funding for this bureaucracy than for the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force combined (90-92, 174-177, 181).

Hiding health legislation in a stimulus bill is intentional. Daschle supported the Clinton administration’s health-care overhaul in 1994, and attributed its failure to debate and delay. A year ago, Daschle wrote that the next president should act quickly before critics mount an opposition. “If that means attaching a health-care plan to the federal budget, so be it,” he said. “The issue is too important to be stalled by Senate protocol.”

More Scrutiny Needed

On Friday, President Obama called it “inexcusable and irresponsible” for senators to delay passing the stimulus bill. In truth, this bill needs more scrutiny.

The health-care industry is the largest employer in the U.S. It produces almost 17 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product. Yet the bill treats health care the way European governments do: as a cost problem instead of a growth industry. Imagine limiting growth and innovation in the electronics or auto industry during this downturn. This stimulus is dangerous to your health and the economy.
