One Guy's Opinion on the Political Scene By: Jim Herndon
The stock market dropped another 300 points today and has been dropping steadily. In fact, the market has gone down more than 2500 points since the election, which is a vivid indication of the confidence investors have in the Obama Socialist conversion of the country.
The Dow Jones was at 13,500 in May when Obama took control of the Democrat Party from Hillary Clinton. It is less than half that now and still dropping. The giant so-called stimulus bill is a big lie. It is a government spending, welfare-growing, bureaucracy-building, giant step toward a Socialist system. Among many other of the bill’s scams, it sets up the bureaucracy for a national health plan. The government will soon have the power to overrule your doctor, and if doctors do not comply with the government's treatment recommendations, some official will fine them. That is right; some fat bureaucrat, who wouldn’t be able to hold a job in private practice, will tell your doctor how to treat your illness. There are already 64,750 employees at the department of Health and Human Services. One can only imagine how large this bureaucracy will get when the DemPols start nationalizing health care. Tom Daschle started the early preparation for the health care items in the pork bill, before he had to withdraw for cheating on his taxes. He warned Americans right up front that health-care reform “will not be pain free.” He gave special notice to senior citizens with the statement: “Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of having many of the tests that doctors now provide for them.”
