BloggeRhythms 10/21/2013

The incumbent’s speaking this morning on the completely botched rollout of his signature health care tax. He’s supposedly going to address the start-up glitches, which is like having nuclear fission and atom-splitting formulae explained by Forrest Gump. 
 
But obviously, as a practical matter, it really doesn’t matter a whit what he says or does, because another speech, or a thousand of them, have absolutely nothing to do with the problems. It’s the whole program that doesn’t make sense.
 
The government couldn’t even run the post office efficiently, which simply entails getting mail or items, from one place to another on time. Which is why people who want to be absolutely sure deliveries are made as promised, use Federal Express, UPS or other proven provider.
 
Then there’s the somewhat more difficult, but still not overwhelming job of collecting taxes via the IRS. That too, turned turned into a quagmire, when politicization overtook the process and abuses of power led to scandals still being discovered, while several participants, or more, may yet go to jail.
 
Furthermore, as anyone adept enough to walk and chew gum simultaneously knows, if you want something done correctly, the last place on earth you’d consider going would be any governmental agency.  The only time folks willingly interface with the bloated bureaucracy is when the law says they have to, which is smart because those g-folks can arrest you and they carry guns.
 
I also don’t think it was just to be funny that someone compared most government regulations as camels designed by bureaucrats asked to create horses.
 
And what’s even funnier, though not in an amusing way, is that this morning it was said that the incumbent’s rage at the bungled job that’s been done and his desire to fix it immediately will include bringing in yet unidentified “outside experts” to help solve the myriad problems.
 
So, perhaps someone should tell him that before he got involved and decided to implement his new tax, the free-market U.S. health care system was the best on the planet by light years. And only since his muscling in has it turned into a worthless fiasco for which people can’t even figure out how to sign up.
 
Which leads to the most important question of all: If the government can’t even figure out enrollment, what happens when folks get sick? There’ll probably be week-long White House meetings to discuss hangnails.
 
And finally, I heard on Fox News just now that their program's asking viewers to submit things they’d like the incumbent to say at his meeting later this morning. As for me, since this my own forum, I’d like to hear him say: “I resign, as of today.”
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
