Retrospect - some unpublished rants from early on.

I was looking at some rants I penned a few years ago and thought it would be a good time to take a look back at what was the issues in 2009 so read on and take a look what was eating at us then and see how much of it has come true....enjoy.


1.3 Trillion for Health Care????? •July 15, 2009

So now the Obama Administration is spending tax dollars to run ads of disgruntle Americans who have had problems with health care or should I say they have had problems with their insurance.  So who foots the “Social Medice for all”.  We do, our employers and the wealthy.  I am not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination.  In fact last week I had $30 dollars till payday, no savings and I still had health care.  How did society get to this?  I’ll tell you, your hippie 60′s parents, drug  induced radicals.  Why should I have to pay for some moron who can’t take care of themselves and feels the need to smoke or sit on the couch day after day and waste away.  I smoke, I like to sit on my ass and do nothing and if I can’t get the insurance to cover my illnesses then I guess I die, oh freakin well.

Lets look at what this is going to do with our employers.  First of all if this goes through and my employer is forced to pay more for healthcare, we will close.  So what you say well simply put 125 people will be unemployed and our community will loose 1.2 millon dollars a year from tax payer dollars spent locally and almost 3 million dollars will be lost in tax revenue to the city, county, state and federal government.  No effect, hmmm, not.

How about those who are bitching sit down and look at what their insurance plan offers, talk to you employers and find out if they can purchase more options.  More than 3/4 of all insured americans have no clue as to what is covered and what is not in their health or dental insurance.  They have no clue as to what medicines are covered and best of all they listen to their doctors as the word of god.  That is just pure lazy stupidity.  You have no problem going to a new machanic when you feel you are getting screwed at the garage, why would you let the doctor be the sole decision maker of your health.  I guess the car is more important.  It will go far when you are dead.


Era of open policy – not •May 6, 2009

So in January President Obama said that then public will know everything that is going on in the government.  But yesterday we were informed that those fine fly over photos would not be release to the public…double standard, sounds like it.

Senator Reid skirted answering Matt Lauers question on if there would be Bush Administration Officials prosecuted for “Torture of Prisoners”  Why investigate Diane Finestine if you are not planning on prosecution?  I can say I have been water boarded, and placed in a CS gas chamber, hey I am still here.  Although we would think of a higher standard based on the current presidency for how we treat combatants, it will come all down to one thing.  Our soldier will do what they probably should do in the first place…shoot kill and never ask questions.  It seems that asking questions will get you in more trouble.  Maybe if we buy them flowers and a hug they will be  nice to us.  Of course the rest of the world will take those gifts and screw us with out as much as a kiss!

The economy – get over it.  I think the American public is catching on to who is really screwing us.  Last night there was a commercial with Citi, Capital One and some other companys that they will work with you in adjusting your payments so you can afford to be in debt.  So I just picked up the phone called one of my credit card company’s that decided that after 25 years with the card and company and no late payment, a small 3 digit balance decided to bump my intrest from 6% to 23%. WHHHAAATTTTTTTTTTT!  I talked with them and said look I can not afford the new payment of $150 (previous payment was $30)  Their offer, close the account, spread the payment over 12 months, then what?  Well the interest was still the same the finance charge changed the balance so when all was said and done I would have paid over $2500 on a $900 balance.  The banks need to forclose faster on these derilects that purchased homes they could not afford in the first place.  Now now, I am not talking about the person that just lost their job but Jim and Sally Public who have a combined income of $100,000 a year and were given a $1,000,000 mortgage, 100% L2V and an adjustable rate that went from 5 to 11%,  Sure I blame the banks for issuing a loan like that then taking my retirement and investing it in the housing market, but are you so stupid that you could think you could really afford that?  Hey bail this!  I bought my house base on what I can afford, and guess what…I still live in it, and it is worth more than when I bought it (because of repairs and upgrades I did) not because some market over inflated the price.


Take me to your leader •March 4, 2009

So now the main stream media idiots are putting forth some dribble that Rush Limbaugh is the leader of the republican party…..just like Al Franken is the leader of the democratic party…asses.  Plain and simple.  The Dems in the office now are the typical snot nose little cry babies.  Please take your ball and go home.  The fact of the matter is that President Obama has surrounded himself with Clinton failures and and inexperienced dopes that he is going to fail.  This is very similar to the college grad who didn’t get the job and his mom calls the company to complain about not hiring her son.

Republicans need grow a set.  I can’t stand it, maybe I will go beat somebody at the sandbox to feel better!
