Not the Government's Job

President Elect Obama says ‘Government can’t do everything’ when it comes to raising a good society. This is the best damn thing I have ever heard come out of his mouth. Now if we can just get him to understand it is not the government's job to do a lot of things.

Couple of quick thoughts and questions to ponder..........Who has the best medical system in the world? Who has the shortest wait time with the best technology? Who has the most qualified and educated doctors, specialist and staff? We do! So why do we need socialized medicine and/or national health care? Really, should I have to pay for someone who eats fast food several times a week and smokes two packs a day to have a bypass?

What industries are remaining that don't have government connections and/or funding in some way, shape or form? I'm having a hard time assembling a list. Does anyone know what the governments true role should be?

The hole is getting deeper and wider.

Please post your comments, let's get the debate started!

With economy in shambles, Congress gets a raise!

OK, let me see if I get this correct. Millions of dollars (my bad, trillions) that comes from tax collection (that's us) has gone to private industries as a bailout. President Bush has now extended billions to the auto companies and now Congress agrees to a pay increase. What the hell is going on! This is the second time that Chrysler has been rescued by the government! How many of you drive Honda's out there? You should be really pissed! Your elected officials voted to increase their pay while telling the management of private industries to decrease theirs.

Under the new administration should I expect a check from my Congressman or Senator? Consider it a refund for the terrible job that they are doing? Maybe I should sit back and wait for the new administration to spread the wealth a bit. Either way, we are traveling down a dark and narrow road, unless of course you want the mightiest and most free nation in the history of mankind to become socialist. Not me, I would rather be free!!!!!!
