The Massachussetts Election

Finally, after more than two years, in commenting on the "upset" election of Sen. Brown, the NY Times finally recognized, admitted and commented on the fact the administration, while well intentioned, is completely lost in its dogma... A blind person, with an ounce of political savvy should have seen this coming! Health Care reform, without first properly addressing the housing and economic crises is a lost cause. The roof over a persons head and the ability to pay for it come first.

I believe that in order to direct our attention away from the miserably failed economic policies of Chairman Bernanke and Secretary Geithner, Mr. Obama, Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid pushed the health care "plan" as a misdirect ploy. The housing crisis IS THE ROOT CAUSE of this entire catastrophe. From first hand experience in attempting loan modifications for clients, I can attest that none one of the programs currently in place has a chance in hell of effecting the relief that is required. Secretary Geithner boasts of aiding some 375,000 homeowners... a grossly inflated number... but even so, at the present rate, when this ends no less than 3-5 years from now we ultimately will have 20-25 MILLION homeowners needing assistance, what good is even his number!!! Simple fact, In the largest markets,every home has been negatively impacted by the foreclosures and short sales.

President Obama, Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid, properly address the housing and jobs disasters... NOTHING is more important to Americans... then talk to us about reforming health care... We may say that we support this issue, or that issue... but we always vote with one hand on our wallets... that ladies and gentlemen is politics 101!

It's still the foreclosures stupid.... it's the foreclosures...

The Democratic Party has rarely, if ever, been a cohesive group... but this is turning out to be a real Charlie Foxtrot..... Charlie Foxtrot... Charlie Foxtrot

Health Care "reform"

In his ongoing effort to "sell" his government take over of health care... calling it reform ... and attempting assuage the middle to right wing segment, the President commented that his plan does not include providing health care for illegal... undocumented... unauthorized... or in legal terms, trespassers... He also states that there the opponents of his reform plan are spreading untruths about the plan...

Mr. President, the simple fact is, the category of "you are here but we don't have any record of your being here" is already receiving the finest health care in the world... in our emergency rooms... through ever increasing over billing and rising premiums, the cost of which is being spread across those members of our society who are here because we belong here and have health care insurance...

I would suggest that there can be no health care reform, without first reforming ICE and providing a temporary entry/work visa's, thereby enabling these hard working people some semblance of legal status... allowing them to stop hiding in the shadows, work in the open, pay taxes into the system that already affords them a far better life. In this manner these fine people would then be able obtain health care coverage, drive legally, carry proper auto insurance and make our roads safer too.

Mr. President, no one wishes to deny health care for those in need... but please, when you promised us "change that we can all believe in", stop playing politics as usual... for that is no change at all...
