National Health Care?

Have you been following any of our government's machinations recently? I have and I have come away with hope and great expectations. I see business opportunities galore. When you consider that our government could bring to the health care system all the benefits and stream lined access they have brought to the US tax code my heart skips a beat. The simple application of the Paper Reduction Act to our total life will provide huge incentive for my plan.

So here's the plan -
I will develop a software module (I think I'll call it Turbo-Life but that is pending discussions with Intuit)that will do nothing but verify that you are a sentient human with a need and recommend the add-on modules you must purchase to apply to our government to have those needs met.

I can envision:

Turbo-transportation - will prepare the application for all your personal travel needs. While this module will generally result in the issuance of mass transit chits, it will have a direct link to Government Motors to allow the selection of the appropriate EPA/IPCC/AlGore approved personal transportation module (a car). The module will automatically limit your choices to those vehicles appropriate (based on emissions and fuel consumption) for the climate determined appropriate for your national geographic area this year.

Turbo-housing - this is a major module because it will take into account the size of your family, your current standing with the party in power, your contributions to that party, your climate desires (the government will be controlling that too). The design would work best with a direct link to that other add-on module, Turbo-Tax, to determine these financial questions directly from your federal income tax return.

Turbo-protection - to apply for police protection for you and your loved ones (who are minors or children between the age of 18 and 24 but still attending school full time for that WASL approved diploma, or your spouse/partner/significant other, who live in the same house (either full time or at least 50% of the time) granted by the Turbo-housing application filed via an optional Turbo-Life add on module, purchased separately)

Turbo-Health - will produce a complete federal application for any 'general health' services you think you require. Note that this module will create an application to see your general practitioner/nurse/chiropractor/witch doctor/voodooist and should not be confused with the application necessary be approved to schedule an appointment with a specialist for special services. The Turbo-Specialist module is a separate piece of software that can be purchased and installed in conjunction with Turbo-Life. This module alone will spawn a series of purchase recommendations for Turbo-Allergy, Turbo-Vision, Turbo-Heart, Turbo-Psychiatric, Turbo-Ad nauseam.

Of course Turbo-Tax will be a required module under Turbo-Life and will determine your fair share.

Purchase price is still to be determined but I figure the base module at $89.99 and all sub-modules at $69.99 with discounts for purchasing multiple modules at the same time.

And of course since not everyone has a home computer there will be a cell phone module (everyone has at least one of those) available called Turbo-Cell for a PC that will create your application for a free government home computer.

I will be rich!

Wait, the government will be rich since most of my future income will be paid in taxes to cover all these services. Unless I can get access to the Turbo-Tax source code. Hmmmm, I think I'm coming up with a new plan.

They're rioting in Africa...

There's strife in Iran.
What nature doesn't do to us
Will be done by our fellow man.

It really doesn't ever seem to change much, does it?

We must fight it - at all costs...

No big comment. Just a simple link. Read it and weep.

Just one question?

When does the change voted for in November '08 actually start?

Stimulation?

You want stimulation? Consider this - the Stimulus bill that was just passed is somewhere between 1000 and 1500 pages of type and not a single congressman had read the thing prior to voting on it. This was the largest financial package in the history of Congress and they passed it without reading it.

If that doesn't stimulate you to throw the bums out at the next election cycle - sooner if possible - then America is truly lost. I fear Amerika is truly lost.

More Change? Don't Count on It!

Washington DC is inculcated with a culture of deceit, privilege, arrogance, and and just plain cheating. The change we have seen is from an inept administration (and I was a Bush fan) to a corrupt administration. The difference is who is receiving the privilege, who is benefiting from the cheating.

Our 'His Arrogance in Chief' won and so it will be done HIS way. And his way evidently bears no resemblance to his outrageous campaign rhetoric of a clean administration. We have lobbyists in our executive offices (how are tricks Mr. Murtha?), we have a speaker of the house (Nancy Pelosi) who I believe is 'non-partisan' because she does not know the meaning of the word, and a Senate majority leader, a reed blowing in the wind who is a hopeless windbag of non-ideas.

We are living in interesting times. Hang on. Pray. I don't believe we have the power, gumption, where with all, to change it any longer.

Change we can count on

I do hope all you Democrats are enjoying the change. It's astounding - it's Democrats in the limelight (not that the Republicans are any better). Washington DC is incapable of governing this nation. Reprobates the lot. And now we can add ignorant arrogance to the mix.

Ms. Pelosi, a simple question - 'What is the population of the U.S.?'. Round numbers will do.

BTW - I've figured out why the Dems don't want tax cuts - why cut what they don't pay?
