NO LIGHT AT THE END OF THIS TUNNEL

By the time I started my own blog here, I had already been writing for years to the local paper and posting on "the Slate.com". IN July 2005, I had published my book of poetry, which is mainly a critique of society and politics. Human habits change slow if the change is from bad to good, from good to bad it does not take half as long. It only took a few days for Moses to be away for the Israelites to take up the worship of "the golden calf".

I keep trying, not to find converts to anything, not for a flock of followers, but for some, a few may be to see the light.

We today, as a nation are obsessed about the health care reform, But no one, Not even Obama, the president, is honestly talking about how we will pay for a system that promises to keep everyone alive for ever, no matter the cause or illness. But here is the kicker, what is the Republican plan, in a free market based plan that purports to pay for anyone for any sickness will have unlimited premium ceiling, and secondly, extremely ill persons will be ( as they are already) dumped on to medicare or medicaid which are both already on the verge of bankruptcy. This the question not ever posed to or by the Republican Mouth pieces ( Rush Limbaugh, or the John "Bonehead" Beohener)

Then there is the economy, today the report said the we lost another quarter million jobs last month, that was good news, great news really, stocks were up and most wonderfully, the jobless rate went down?????? , how in the hell? but who cares, we are a nation of idiots, we believe whatever someone else can tell us, or will, and they all do. Bring out the dancing girls!?

What you would expect in an economy that has already lost ten million jobs, we cannot lose seven hundered fifty thousand jobs a month for ever, but the slow grind continues, for how long, no one really knows, but we know the tax receipts are down and the federal deficits are burgeoning, how long can you tread water, before you drown.

The light at the end of this tunnel hangs from a granite wall!
