Nero fiddled while Rome burnt! While the president and the legislative bodies continue to fiddle with the healthcare system, something that has room for improvement but is not broken for 90% of America, the economy is burning up with a terrible fever. Our economy is what is sick and in need of urgent care and attention. Families across america are hurting and its not because they can't see a doctor.
We still continue to shed jobs. Small businesses, the chief generator of employment growth, can't access money in one of the tightest credit environments ever seen. And the real unemployment rate is the worse in over 50 years. The economy's condition is serious and in some areas almost terminal and yet the President and VP tell us how they have saved the economy. It reminds me of when Al Gore claimed he created the Internet.
Instead we focus on taxing those who have have "Cadillac" health plans and reducing spending on medicare. This sounds like redistribution to me. How can we take the Democrats seriously on their pet projects when they won't even address tort reform? There are more people unemployed or under employed than there are without access to healthcare. What's the urgent problem? To quote a prominent democrat's words of wisdom...it's the economy stupid. Repeat after me, jobs, jobs, jobs!
