There is a memorial service for a fellow cab driver for our company next Saturday in the East Bay 'congestive heart failure' whatever that is. A sweet guy who worked the really late or long hours but had a preexisting condition I am told an 'enlarged heart'. I generally get off by 3 AM.
I work only 4 nights a week. I don't have insurance.
In this ball of confusion which is the health care debate and the 2700 page bill (hey 2700 pages doesn't make it wrong!) It just makes it a huge mystery. Suddenly the CBO claims that it will lessen the deficit, Dennis Kucinich who I was starting to think was a true hero gave in to Obama's arm twisting. (I imagine Obama going on for a half hour maybe an hour with such a barrage of self certain verbiage mixed with selective facts that poor Dennis out of exhaustion and confusion says OK I guess you are right.) Suddenly the momentum seems like it's going the Democrats way.
The Bank Bailout now The Health Care Bail Out with the American people left holding the bag and all the 20 to 30 year olds who will now be forced by law to buy Health Care making them outlaws if they don't. While the great mass of American Humanity greying, stressed,
sedentary creatures with bad eating habits will drain the US Trust even more as they cling to Life. I don't blame any one for clinging to Life. Life is awesome. But we live in a sick civilization
that is preying on itself, destroying itself. There is no respect for the coming generations as we dump our inability to be accountable on their shoulders.
A tow truck driver was talking with cab drivers at the company office as I arrived at work
I barely paid attention because I know the conversation so well and the feelings. Nothing but a Ponzi scheme he said just keep bringing in enough wealth to maintain the illusion of financial integrity while you squander it on your immediate desires somehow hoping 'Hope' that this coming generation somehow will be wealthier than we are.... when in fact it is becoming more plain by the day that likely will not be the case. Clinton/Bush looted our assets shipping off manufacturing to overseas we make money by Trickle Down.. Reagan started it the Real Estate Boom shot everyone into dreamland wow I am a millionaire- Obama back to the Trickle down only now it's your Noble Government trickling it down as they pull it out of our pockets.
Sorry I am going on. So Senator Boxer, Senator Feinstein, Congresswoman Woolsey I ask you to say no to this Ill thought out concoction called the Health Care Bill.
