Its official. Just as President Obama signed the new healthcare bill into law our country moved another step further from what our forefathers had envisioned. In fact, I'm pretty certain I heard George Washington roll over in his grave! How can our government mandate healthcare in a democracy?
Our government has grown into a spoiled child that thinks it can do whatever it wants and it is the only one who knows best. Our welfare systems are pushed beyond their limits because our dear government has purposed itself that it must take care of it's citizens. Our government has made it easier to be "taken care of" than to become self sufficient. This has caused a disturbing downward spiral where our society no longer knows how to take care of itself. Our government has become so large and "all-knowing" that it is quickly erasing our great free enterprise system that has kept our economy strong.
Democracy, free enterprise, hard work and pride are no longer enough to get ahead in America. Now you need to be on subsidized healthcare, food programs and have credit card debt up to your eyeballs to be socially acceptable.....Something went wrong somewhere........
I vote that we re-elect NO ONE and start over with hard working citizens that have educations in specialized fields to help rebuild our nation. All those lawyers in DC just like to argue with each other!

National Debt
I have another video to share!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5yxFtTwDcc
This video gives a visual presentation that puts our National Debt into perspective. It goes back in history and it is very informative. Enjoy!
My two cents....Usually to really clean house you need to tear it up a bit and reorganize. When you are done with the job, the house looks better and you can find what you're looking for! The same goes for business. Sometimes it makes sense to spend a little cash so you can increase your business and cash flow. Advertising works but it costs but in the long run it is worth it.
The same concept now applies to our government only we need to CLEAN HOUSE not SPEND MONEY! Granted, cleaning up that big house will probably require a little spending for organization and more cleaning supplies but if properly organized we should be able to find everything!
Our government does not need to subsidize healthcare. It simple needs to include healthcare in a giant, countrywide housecleaning! Our healthcare system is sick but our government does not have the cure. It just needs to reorganize so it can run more efficiently. America's free enterprise system needs to be FREE to recover on its own as it always has. History has proved that the more a government controls the systems within it, that collapse is inevitable!
Tomorrow I will have a recipe to share and who knows what else....maybe a bit on RESPECT and teenagers.

Cash for Cars? HA!
My two cents.....Ok, this whole Cash for Cars thing sounded great but our incompetent government has run out of money for it in less than a week! Seriously, what were they thinking?!? I heard somewhere and I don't remember where, that they mighty government only expected about 12 individuals to take part in the program per participating dealer. What they got were several hundred per dealer! I think someone will be rethinking their figures.
Honestly that is what we get for expecting our government to be our heros. Government has gotten so large that it is no longer a true democracy. We moved out of that after the Great Depression. All those programs introduced did help people but it also created a dependance upon our government that will never be broken. I know that the numbers that are kicked out to the public as information on the national debt, GDP, GNP, etc are not accurate....How on earth could they be? There are parts of the government infrastructure that spend money that nobody sees and they like it that way. They feed us the information they think we want to hear and it placates the majority.
I actually cringe at the thought of our government managing an entire healthcare system! I have experienced large hospitals and very small hospitals and received the same care from both whether it be good or bad. I have worked for large companies and small ones and have seen the pros and cons of each. It is true that it is harder to get things approved when you have to go through a longer chain of command. Our government creates chains that resemble circles rather than straight paths to a goal.
I personally believe that if they take the free enterprise system out of our healthcare choices they will take the FREE out of our country. If people don't have to work for something and it is just handed to them it creates dependance. Our country was not founded on the government running the people. IT WAS FOUNDED ON THE PEOPLE RUNNING THE GOVERNMENT!
Switching gears...Everything seems pretty calm right now in our house. Which makes me conclude that life is fixing to get crazy and change all that. I have managed to organize a few things and am even contemplating shampooing the carpets...I know, don't rush things! My husband tells me to pace myself but when I'm on a roll I just want to keep on going because it feels good to get all this done. I just have so many things I want to do and when I have time to do them it seems logical to bust out and get busy!
School will be starting soon as well. I has seemed like such a short summer to all of us that I really avoid mentioning that 6-letter word. I am trying to come up with fun things to do that aren't too far from home. My husband can't join us for most things but I am trying to be creative. It does help that the two teenagers have plenty of friends in our own neighborhood and I don't have to shuttle them around. They are happy to be hanging out with their friends after being at "The Grandparent's House" for a month.
I plan on spending part of today to find a nice outdoor cafe to take my hubby to for our anniversary tomorrow. He can't be inside public places yet, but an outdoor setting would be okay! I am excited to be planning our 13th Anniversary dinner together. We have been through a LOT in those years and we will probably face much more....but together we can do anything!
