Things I've learned lately
This is all related to the Government programs. This is my reasoning why Government programs such as health care have a slim chance of working. One thing I just heard and found interesting yesterday is it cost $.017 to make a $.01 (penny). It cost $.07+ to make $.05 (nickel). If you ran a business like that you wouldn't be around long. Same thing with my essay on fuel standards where I show in thirty years there has not been a major increase in mpg. This morning I heard, last night the Government has agreed to put 1 trillion dollars into buying these financial institutions that are going under. (All this while key people in those failed companies are receiving millions of dollars as parting gifts). The Government is going to print new money (inflationary) and borrow money (deficit). I'm guessing borrowing more from China. It's not free money, we are going to have to pay that back with interest. So the Government is buying these companies = the Government owns these companies = socialism. This is what Venezuela does. The reasons between the two countries are different but the results are the same. We have MAJOR problems with Entitlements Financial institutions Health Care High taxes Immigration Fuel and the Government can not properly handle these problems. I'm not doom and gloom with all of this. There are solutions. Some of us in these 1st essays have conclude problems with Gov. programs and formed some great fixes. Things are bad and they will get worse before they get better. Cold hard facts need to be realized first, we as a country don't seem to be ready to face it yet. At some point we will have to stop throwing money at problems and actually roll up our sleeves and fix things. Or, like I've said, someday possible the Government might come to the conclusion if they direct everyones money we'll be a better country. Turning us into a full blown socialist country. IDK So, No I don't think that the Government should be helping people the way it does today. We are much better off if it doesn't.
