Daily Opinion for Tuesday December 22, 2009

Been sitting and listening to the news the last couple days, listening to the updates on the insurance reform bill. Looks like a bill will get passed, but what is it going to do for the ones of us that don't have and can't afford to add another bill to pay for it? It sounds like maybe the insurance companies will have to start thinking of the insured rather than themselves, that is one good thing. Not very positive it's going to assist all of us in need. Also, I hate politics, but those republicans need to somehow see just how stupid they look and sound in the way they are making parts of it be read word for word just to postpone it, claiming all the things opposite of what the bill was originally supposed to do. It's because of them and the insurance companies which must be big supporters of theirs that the country is in such bad shape regarding insurance. Possibly they won't be getting all their kickbacks if this passes? Let me feel sorry for them. NOT.
Also today I watched a news article about all the politicians that got all those high salaries for years, then did illegal things, put out of their jobs, but guess what, they are being paid pensions!! Isn't that just great, us taxpayers are paying for their illegal actions by paying them yearly pensions. Someone tell us all how did so much corrupt behavior happen in the last 8 years and not get stopped?? Put our country in a horrible mess, people are suffering, and our new president is being criticized for not fixing everything that was done wrong in his first year?? Come on people, open your eyes. I'm frankly very tired of the rich getting richer as the poor get poorer and the politicians sit on their hill with their big homes and cars and whatever else, and say, nope, we aren't going to do things to help you. Let's start voting and electing working folk, people that know what it's like to hurt, to scrape to get bills paid, hope they can put food on the table, then maybe we will get people that will work with the president to fix this country!

  1. I think the politicians would do a better job if they had to use the healthcare/medicaid/retirement system that everyone else has instead of their own congressional system filled with perks/benefits that last their entire lives.
