As I watched the so called Healthcare Summit today, one thing that was painfully obvious is the reported $1,000,000.00 per day lobby dollars that is allegedly being spent by special interest who are only interested in keeping the status quo, has clearly made penetration deeply on Capitol Hill. The mice in the Capitol building probably have dug in on one side or the other, because they too have probably been paid off by some of the money flying around on the Hill. The media also has received "sweet" influences or marching orders as well. It appears to me that none of the mainstream media outlets are reporting the facts free of distortion and trickery. No one seemed willing to change, and the Republicans appeared to be most paid as they were reminded by the President eight times, by my count, to please abandon old familiar talking points. You cannot say something must be done and then stick with the same old talking points. Also, the most over used line is: "we need to start over from scratch". The reason that over-used talking point is stupid to keep uttering is because what's the point in saying you're starting over only to come right back to all you've ever had in the first place. In other words, we are to assume that both sides have already given an issue of this seriousness much thought and have presented their best shot already. Therefore, the best efforts or thoughts from both sides are already on the table. To start with a blank sheet of paper in the the hands of both sides only to have them come right back to where we are now is insane. That's why I feel that the money (lobby pay-outs) has already cut deep. It is going to be almost impossible to get meaningful change. I hope I am proven wrong! Furthermore, the American people continue to suffer each day the matter drags on. The people who have coverage are facing outrageous premium increases, and the people without coverage are simply in a very difficult situation. Also, the seniors who have Medicare are relying on a system that is destine to cave in soon without effective reform. Let's hope that the Washington "walking ATMs" will deplete themselves of cash soon and back off so the whores can take off their sexy nighties and return to true legislative clothing and take care of the American people's needs.
Sincerely,
Thinking About You
