May I make a suggestion? Please change the color scheme; it is difficult to read text on a black background; even the most contrast white font on top of it seems weak and thin. In some people it, in fact, induces a headache.
And the red/black is such potent – in bad sense – color combination (Nazi flags, for instance, or last-century-anarchists’), I would try to use something calmer.

Look forward to your new posts.

God bless you…keep it up!

The root cause of inefficient government spending is that the government doesn’t have to make a profit, nor does it have to be efficient. Having seemingly bottomless pockets allows the government to drive private competitors out of business since the government can operate at a loss for decades before the collapse. The problem right now is that we’ve already been operating at a loss (read deficit spending and national debt) for decades. If we pile on all this new spending, the collapse could come very quickly.

Before the recent government bailouts, private companies, unlike the government, had to be profitable to survive. This forced them to search for efficiencies to maintain profitability. If they failed to be efficient, they died.

Politicians have a vested interest in projecting low costs for their pet projects in order to pass them into law. So for the administration to estimate 1.5 trillion dollars (that’s 1,500 billion dollars) to pay for their program is astounding, given their vested interest in low estimates.

Finally, your hope that “the smart people behind the scenes right now are of the type that landed men on the moon” is nothing more than wishful thinking. People who are “behind the scenes” are not elected officials responsible to the people. Instead, they are faceless bureaucrats. Some of them are genuinely idealistic in their support of this catastrophic policy, but the ones who become powerful in the bureaucracy are those who are cynically shouldering their way to the top in order to feather their own nests. This has been true from time immemorial and it is just as true today.

Count on it that if this nationalized health care plan passes, it will indeed cost far more than the 1.6 thousand billion dollar price tag the administration has put on it.

How can we possibly pay such an enormous debt, on top of the existing federal and state debts owed? Taxes? The founders pointed out that a power to tax amounts to a power to destroy!
