It looks like Hairy Reed has finally purchased (with YOUR money, not his) enough Senators to support his Health Care Reform package. Since nobody actually knows what is in this bill – even and especially those who support it – I can only wait and see what it looks like; AFTER it is voted into law. So much for Obama’s campaign promise about open government. The Obama administration has been more secretive about their operations than Tiger Wood’s caddy.
The Democrat majority rammed through the stimulus spending before anybody could read it, and now Hairy is proposing votes on Christmas Eve – all in an effort to ramrod health care through the legislative process before anybody knows what is happening. To the left, hairy looks like a savior crusading tirelessly for his cause. To me, he just looks like a petty dictator forcing his unpopular agenda on a populace that is solidly against his politics – even in Nevada. Poll after poll shows the country is AGAINST the Democrat plan. Maybe, just maybe, if he would show his plan, and explain his plan in detail, some folks might support him. The problem with ANY politician saying, “Trust me, brothers, and I will do what is best” is that the definition of “best” varies. Hairy, oh Hairy, step from the darkness and into the light !!

Speaking of the stimulus spending, it looks like even that has been politicized. A couple of stories are out showing that the money that has been spent was disproportionally allocated to Democrat controlled districts. In other words, Team Obama is using YOUR money to buy votes and influence for their agenda. It also shows that most of the money is going into the public sector, rather than the private sector where jobs are created. No wonder the stimulus is not working…

And finally, the Chinese are starting to get nervous about how much money we owe them. In a comment by Zhu Min, deputy governor of the People’s Bank of China: “…it was inevitable that the dollar would continue to fall in value because Washington continued to issue more Treasuries to finance its deficit spending.” His cousin, DUH, declined comment.
