The administration warns of economic catastrophe if Congress does not pass astronomically huge spending proposals. The administration proposes a budget that will end up costing the taxpayers $10 trillion. Now the president is pitching his plans to create a government-run health insurance programs that will end up costing $1 trillion or more. The effects of a government-run health insurance program, from here on to be called ObamaCare, are obvious: ObamaCare will directly compete with private insurers, causing some or all of them to fail, leaving more people uninsured, leading to more people relying on ObamaCare. The exodus of people leaving private insurance for ObamaCare will leave the entire health insurance industry in the hands of a few major corporations and the government. Of course, with more and more people under the direct care of the government, the costs of such a system will increase, in other words: the taxpayer will end up paying for it. Luckily, not all Americans are convinced that ObamaCare is the right answer, though a majority are still drinking the O-kool-aid.

With the skyrocketing cost of running a government that will be charged with taking care of more people, taxes must go up. The net effect of all of these changes being introduced by the Obama administration changes only one thing in America, the rate at which Americans become more indebted to the state, or more specifically to the quasi-private Federal Reserve and foreign governments that own US debt. While the people of America heralded the end of an old order by electing the first multiracial president, this agent of “change” has, through empty party slogans and sweet-talk, rammed irresponsible spending through Congress and opened America up to negotiating with terrorists and dictators. The Democrats, in their supposedly “noble” attempts to redistribute wealth and despite their assurances that only the rich would be taxed, have started creating a system that taxes universally. Already they have increased the price of tobacco products which affect the poor disproportionately and the House passed the cap-and-trade bill that will substantially increase the cost of every product in the name of “environmentalism,” when in actuality it will not help the environment all that much. The Republicans have not done much better, being unable to clarify their message or retain party unity in the Senate and House and losing election after election to the appeasement/spending-minded Democrats. Republicans became mired in the culture wars, in an inability to properly communicate the pressing need for interventions in the Middle East and Central Asia, and the “general consensus” that Bush mismanaged everything he touched. At this point in American history, Republicans and specifically conservatives have the best chance at reversing the national emergency that is the Obama domestic policy and to do so, they need to reach out to the more fiscally conservative Democrats and to independents. If they fail, then a system where the state redistributes wealth wholesale and starts the rationing of goods and services (such as healthcare) will rise in America. Be not fooled by the rationalizing of the administration or the “well-meaning intentions” of the government: this is called Socialism. The outrageous policy of increasing the national debt will end up turning all Americans into indentured servants… how ironic that the president who claims the mantle of Lincoln would have such an effect. I can’t wait to hear the “Subjugation Proclamation.”
