Larry Kudlow has a must-read
article about what Obama's health care plan will do to the country.
Kudlow writes:
Does anybody really believe that adding 50 million people to the public health-care rolls will not cost the government more money? About $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion more? At least.
So let’s be serious when evaluating President Obama’s goal of universal health care, and the idea that it’s a cost-cutter. Can’t happen. Won’t happen. Costs are going to explode.
Think of it: Can anyone name a federal program that ever cut costs for anything? Let’s not forget that the existing Medicare system is roughly $80 trillion in the hole.
And does anybody believe Obama’s new “public” health-insurance plan isn’t really a bridge to single-payer government-run health care? And does anyone think this plan won’t produce a government gatekeeper that will allocate health services and control prices and therefore crowd-out the private-insurance doctor/hospital system?
Federal boards are going to decide what’s good for you and me. And what’s not good for you and me. These boards will drive a wedge between doctors and patients.
...The president’s grandiose government-takeover-and-control strategies are going to make things worse and worse — that is, unless members of that tiny band known as the Republican party can stand on their hind legs and just say no. The Republicans must come up with some pro-competition, private-enterprise alternatives for health, energy, education, taxes, and trade that will meet the yearning of voter-taxpayers for a return to private-enterprise American prosperity and opportunity.
Free-market competition will lower costs in health care just as it has every place else. It also will grow the economy. The GOP must return to this basic conservative principle and reject Obama’s massive government assault.
Since Obama has taken office, something seems to permeate each of his policy decisions.
He fails to acknowledge reality.
Obama keeps plowing ahead with all his grandiose plans, and no one demands explanations as to how his plans can be realized, other than by destroying the country.
He's bent on speed. Where's the wisdom?
Obama is taking a childish, irresponsible approach to health care reform. His flunkies are willing to follow. Much of the public is willing to believe in Obama's pipe dreams.
It's time for Obama to grow up. And if he's not ready to grow up, then it's time for the grownups to teach him how to be responsible and to make him understand what's at stake in the long term.

Let me tell ya...for the past eight years I was blinded by the overwhelming amount of wisdom portrayed by the former president. Talk about Flunky. He was joke and did absolutely nothing to help this country. So be patriotic and support your president because the race is over and your typical neo-con complaining will get you and us as a country nowhere.
