just what is in the stimulus bill?

i've been meaning to write on this for a while, listening to Boortz this morning on the way to class got me riled up.

Ever ask yourself why Obama wanted Daschle? Well it's because of his health care reforms as outlined in his book Critical. Boortz talked about this Bloomberg article. They basically want to federalize health care and take the decisions about care out of the hands of doctors (because they are apparently inept). This is what i was talking about a year ago in Sociology and everyone there thought it was a good idea. The federal government is going to get everyone's medical records on file electronically in a database. And, this won't be "painless" because senior citizens basically need to just accept the fact that they're getting old and realize that they're not going to be getting those surgeries anymore because they're not cost effective. This is the "much needed health care reform" that all the Democrats has been talking about, denying the elderly care and only providing care for anyone if it's cost effective. In other words, Joshua probably wouldn't have gotten those tests at all when he had the lump on his head.

More about the stimulus bill outlining just how our money is being wasted. Basically the only people getting relief directly are those who are on welfare and don't pay taxes to begin with. If i had the time i could probably dig more and find dirty fingerprints all over every one of these programs. The horrible thing is that these programs will not be temporary, they'll become part of the federal government, and few if any will stimulate the economy.

This is also on the heels of the bill that now pays for uninsured children's healthcare and is only the beginning. Of course, Obama signing this caused him to break his promise that he will wait five days before signing a bill into law. The way that he has been pushing the stimulus plan, do you think it will even take him three hours to sign it if it passes? No way, he'll be pulling out the pen within the hour. Of course, he's been touting this as an emergency, but that doesn't explain the other circumstances.

Why is the transparency important? Why does Obama want the stimulus package to be pushed through quickly? Because he doesn't want people to find out what's really in it, discover how vague the language is, the massive changes to government it would cause, the massive debt it would put us into, and start to speak out against it en masse. It's the same reason he wants the military to swear allegiance to him instead of the Constitution and to bring the Fairness Doctrine back. Obama wants bigger government, more control, and the freedom for himself alone to do what he decides is good for our country. His definition of what is good for our country scares me.
