Bills Point of View: The Historic Vote on Health Care
Sunday, March 21, 2010
By Bill Cleary
Even though more then half of the country is against Obama care our leaders in Washington have thumbed their noses at the majority. President Obama ran on a platform of less government. If the bill passes, it will give the government control of 17% of the US economy, about $2.5 trillion. That in itself should scare all of us. Just look at the record, government controlled programs such as social security, Medicare, the post office, Amtrak are all bankrupt.
And although President Obama had promised to bring the country together his actions have done more to divide the republic in half.
The Washington elite have lost touch with the people. As I watch Speaker Pelosi today (Sunday March 21) walk up the steps to the capital carrying a gavel with a big smirk on her face I was sadden and shook my head in disgust. She and those that followed behind her knew how divisive this Health Care plan has been to the country. She and the other congress members could have easily used the tunnel to reach the Capital but instead she saw an opportunity to “rub the noses” of the opponents of the bill in the dirt so to speak.
God Bless our Country.
