Obama making plans to provide health insurance for ALL Americans. Not good and here is why:

Prefatory: I had intended on this post to be about Obama's continued excesses. It morphed into an ending discussion on youthful perspectives and the need to lighten up the debate.

Origninal Text:
The headline reads, IT'S STARTING: Feds to design health insurance for the masses... Look, we already know that ObamaCare will cost the taxpayer between 1.5 trillion dollars over the next ten years (CBO) and 3 trillion (accordingot Max Baucus, D-Mon). More than this, Obama raped the Medicare system via half a trillion in cuts to that program to "balance" out ObamaCare.

Now we have this recent headline. Understand that we are talking about 68 million people, about the same size as the Baby Boomer crowd coming into the system. AND, these 68 people million are not figured into the cost of ObamaCare. How many trillion will this cost -- and it is not paid for at all.

I find this all most incredible. In the remaining 13 months (we hope) of this Administration,

1. we HAVE Harry Reid changing the rules in the Senate in an effort of pushing out GOP influence, just as the Dems did back in 2009-2010.
2. We have Stimulus II (aka the Americas Jobs Act), a scheme that is nothing short of an effort to replenish the coffers of the teacher's unions ($38 billion to that union collective) and fund work programs that benefit union labor (50 billion stinking dollars) TO THE EXCLUSION OF PRIVATE CONTRACTING FIRMS.
3. Let's not forget the hidden costs and programs embedded in this bill: no telling what is hidden in the bill. Understand that eight billion was hidden in the ObamaCare legislation to fund the bill, itself . . . . . money unknown to the public until after the bill was signed. Expect the same sort of crap in this bill.
4. Something new: an effort on the part of Obama, his media, and his labor unions to take advantage of young people, those currently demonstrating for change. Understand this: politically involved youth seldom know what is really going on, and how could they? They have no historical perspective. But, go ahead and tell them that and see what happens. What they do not get is this: they are being used by Big Labor and Big Government just as Big Government used the youth of the 60's and 70's. It is deja vu all over again, dude (you know who you are).

Understand this: I graduated in 1963 (high school) and was a big time fan of JFK (still am). I did not demonstrate against the Viet Nam War, but I never understood why we were there (I still don't) and voted for Jimmy Carter for much of the same reason many of my young friends voted for Obama. I had my first business (a cabinet shop) when Carter came along. By the time he was booted out, I had lost my business and 65% of the construction world had come to a screeching halt. The Carter recession was much worse for construction than this recession. Reagan was my first political hero. He was not perfect, of course, but he was great, nonetheless. My point? As a young voter, I had no historic perspective until I was in my mid-to-late 30's. How could I? ----- and that is the critical question, "How could I?" "Perspective" comes with the passing of time. There is no getting away from that fact. I know this and so does Obama. The only ones who are clueless on this matter are the young people, themselves. These kids know there is something wrong but have no clue as to how that works.

They are against "corporations." So how do you have a world without corporations unless you are a communist, seriously? They are against "profit" but have no idea as to running the world without the "profit" factor. They talk of being the "99%" when, in fact, they are part of the bottom 50 percent of American wage earners. They pretend to represent "the American people" when only a few thousand of them, across the nation, are currently participating in these demonstrations.

Should conservatives dismiss their complaints, out of hand? I say, "no!!" While my world is a "black and white"world, perhaps a better representation should be "a red, white and blue" world. Hang on to that thought. I just might change some of my rhetoric, here at Midknight Review.

One thing I know for sure, if I were to take a sign to these demonstrations, a sign that read, "Screw Obama," I would not expect anyone to come up to me and say, "Good point. I am coming over to your side."
