Why do we have the “nanny state” that we now have the extremely excessive one that has been proposed
by a number of our Presidential candidates? We have it because we have been busy trying to keep up with the costs of living, keep up with the difficulties of living our lives. We have been busy trying to meet the current nanny state bureaucratic rules & regulations.
If we did not have to deal with half of the stuff imposed on us already, we may have time to fight off the more nanny statism some intend to impose on us.
But we also buy into bull fed to us by an all to complicit media who also seem to buy into these ideal’s.
Why do the media permit & push the lie that 47 million Americans are uninsured? This is simply NOT true.
At least 17 million & perhaps up to 25 million of the uninsured are illegal aliens. Those are facts, not propaganda. Why should we insure them or their children? In addition, there actually are 10 to 15 million who are either between jobs or who simply do not want insurance for one reason or another.
I understand making insurance portable between jobs or for those who work at home. Perhaps all insurance should be portable & not job dependent. But that does not mean we need a federal bureaucracy to impose a system on us.
Every government program we start is always supposed to cost this much. Once in place, we are told there was an error & it will cost twenty percent more. Then once it is in place for two or more years, the costs begin rising & do so at alarming rates, with no end in sight.
No federal bureaucracy has been implemented & is operating at an inexpensive cost. None. None are operating anywhere close to original estimates. All now cost extremely more than any anticipated or were willing to tell us until they got it in place.
No federal bureaucracy goes away. All grow, but never come to an end. And once in place they all cost a fortune. We need a sunset commission to end many federal departments or to force them to downsize.
Look at DHS. Combined it was to save money, increase efficiency, eliminate redundancy, & reduce the size of government.
Yeah, right! It was, is now & will always be the largest, most expensive, and least efficient dept in our government for the rest of this nations existence. If private business got this big, the feds would demand they break up their monopoly on whatever it was they were doing!
We do not need more government as some candidates say. We need more efficient government & no one is saying that. If we elect a candidate who promises federal health plans, we can expect a huge bureaucracy that dictates to us how to live & eventually they will also decide who lives & who dies by rationing health care! They are already discussing this in England & their national plan already rations care. What they have is what some politicians want for us!
Think before you vote folks. Think real hard. We may end up with no America if we vote for those seeking to make us harmonize with the rest of the world.
