Our Trillion Dollar Pony

President Obama began his dog and pony show last week. This time he is telling us all of the brides that are being payed to us. You know the great things that are going to be "given" to us because the government took over the Healthcare Industry. I'm sure he will never tell us the truth of what the real costs will be until it is too late. Tyrants never tell you the real cost of their power grabbing policies. But he is sure that he can buy us off. I've seen a lot of cheering crowds but the polls don't seem to be moving up in approval. One of the reasons for the cheers would be that the president's speeches are all staged events. He is preaching to the choir. When you are talking to a friendly crowd it gives the appearance that everyone agrees with what is being said. For a dose of reality it would be nice to see him stand in front of a neutral audience and see the reaction. But he would never do this, since it might show the chinks in his armor.

The American people are being given a trillion dollar pony. Most children would be thrilled at the thought of given a pony. Well until reality hits. Once you get the pony, it must be fed and walked and ridden and then brushed. All the fun turns into a lot of responsibilities. As an adult you know this and understand that nothing comes for free. We understand the long term consequences of making such a commitment. Will we be spoiled kids or rational adults? Will we be bribed with our own money? We have had a pony forced upon us all with the promise that it will make our lives better. In the past it was an option, but through a process that many of us are ashamed of, the Congress made the decision for us.

America is being promised a lot of things with this government take over of Healthcare. We are told that the government take over will improve the system and make healthcare available to all. They've promised that we will be able to keep our current insurance and see a doctor anytime we need. But for most Americans they are not giving us anything. From the way it looks we are loosing a lot of things. One of them is our freedom to choose. We are also under a government mandate to purchase a product for no other reason then being alive.

The American people find themselves at a crossroad. We must decide which path we are going to take. Are we going to turn back from socialism and reclaim our freedoms or allow our leaders to bribe us. The current government is tempting the citizens with goodies. The question remains to be answered is: How many of us really believe that there is no price for the bribes we are being offered.

We must as a people realize that the glowing stories and promises are just that. If this tyranny is allowed to stand we will all not only be poorer, but less free. Our children will be paying for the boondoggle and will never know the freedoms that we once knew. Will we doom future generations to a never ending debt or certain enslavement to a totalitarian state.
