If we lose with that message all is lost any way @ least until we get past stage 1 & Galt comes forth.RTEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-66129998476517549422014-04-13T22:19:25.919-04:002014-04-13T22:19:25.919-04:00Good point.

The delays keep improving its short term chances. It is a real shame that Blackwell's comments don't bring more than a yawn - too bad for America.RTEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3776665703590564248.post-22494605053865750332014-04-13T19:28:26.287-04:002014-04-13T19:28:26.287-04:00Obama Care can only succeed at best for a short ti...Obama Care can only succeed at best for a short time. Medicare is also bankrupt and within a few years Obama Care will be running a huge deficit. There is no way they will be able to pay all the claims that will be coming in under his plan. Insurance in its true form is a lot of premiums being paid with a small risk of loss. <br /><br />ObamaCare doesn't do that, it covers all kinds of claims ("well visits", prescription plans (Bush blew it on that one as well, Viagra, etc.). In short over 300 million claims by 300 million people. The math simply does not work.<br /><br />What will be interesting is how the Dems try and explain it. My guess is that they will claim it needs a little tweaking and a blue ribbon "bi-partisan" committee will be appointed to make recommendations to fix it.<br /><br />But you and I know if you fall off a 40 story building, you are going to crash And it is not going to be pretty. The laws of gravity and physics will see to that. <br /><br />So any Government "rescue" plan is going to fail.<br /><br />The only question is how long will it take to fail. How long can they keep juggling the Obama Care deficit, the national debt, the Medicare and Social Security messes just to name a few, while giving out more and more benefits to non-productive Americans, illegal aliens etc.?<br /><br />Unfortunately the Republicans when their opportunity comes will be caught like a deer caught in the headlights and blow it. They are simply incapable of taking the initiative in a populist way.<br /><br />Like the fall off the building it is inevitable. <br /><br />I listened to Blackwell's comments. While dead on all they will evoke is a yawn from many Americans. Talking about America as an "exceptional nation" doesn't mean a thing to a large number of people (think of the 47%). They have to personally and emotionally get jacked about an issue. <br />DCnoreply@blogger.com
