A friend of mine, a professional in the health insurance industry for many years, was in Washington recently to talk to legislators about health care reform. He left depressed and embarrassed at how little the lawmakers and their staffs understand the issues.
There are accounts of federal minions telling Detroit executives how to build cars. Local power company experts are alarmed at how much the proposed cap & tax legislation will cost Georgians. And if Congress doesn’t pass cap & tax, the EPA will back door us.
Every organization – for profit or not - is spending an inordinate and rapidly rising amount of resource complying with massive new regulations, in addition to defending against frivolous litigation.
We have some serious problems in this country – high unemployment, exploding debt, un-fundable promises (Social Security and Medicare), illegal immigration, and more.
What are we getting from the Democrats? Re-engineering medicine, trying to change the climate and redistributing wealth.
Good grief.
It’s like a bunch of kids with new power in Washington, and they're very quickly killing the goose that has produced golden eggs in this country for over two centuries.
