Obama in Wonderland Part 2

I couldn't help but get a chuckle from the headline for Thomas Sowell's latest opinion piece: Alice in Health Care. I am glad to see I am not the only person who finds the current health care proposals to be on a level of absurdity approaching Lewis Carroll.

Naturally, Sowell nails the true reason why it all seems so surrealistic:

Most discussions of health care are like something out of Alice in Wonderland.

What is the biggest complaint about the current medical care situation? "It costs too much." Yet one looks in vain for anything in the pending legislation that will lower those costs.

Until someone in the government can provide a health care solution which lowers ALL costs, not just the patient's costs, AND provides the same quality of health care, there is nothing to discuss. Anything else is just a trip down a rabbit hole.

Obama in Wonderland

How did we get back on the topic of healthcare? HOW?!

We had already decided: The majority of American people do not want the bull that Obama is shovelling as a healthcare system (translation: government takeover of the healthcare system). Yet we continue with the silly process of watching that great artist Obama fiddling with healthcare, as America burns with debt and unemployment.

As I watch the Democrats in power today, I can't help feeling like Alice watching the incredible events in Wonderland. It has a surreal feeling, as if aliens or demons or some other kind of fictional characters had suddenly taken over the U.S. government.

But here we are, at the tea party, as our cheshire president promises not to tax the overwhelming majority of Americans, while promising them a benefit on top of our already overwhelming debt. Maybe he has a magic pill which will make the debt grow small? We have already seen his magic pill which made the debt grow big.

One thing I can say with certainty: Our government is mad as a hatter...
