Today’s major item is quite simple and now defines the incumbent’s entire presidency, as well as his character in general.
Due to enormous pressure from just about every direction, the incumbent has finally admitted by his actions that he lied to the American people when selling his health care tax. And what that sets up is the ploy trial lawyers use to discredit witnesses they catch in untruths, by asking: “We know you were lying then. Are you lying now too?”
Consequently, going forward from now this kind of taint doesn’t go away, regardless, whereas the suspicion of falsehoods will always remain. And the only thing left to determine is the ultimate loss to come from the damage, which I believe will be huge for the whole Dem party.
In the meantime though, although the structure of the health care tax has now taken a significant hit, other substantial governmental mismanagement is taking place that should not go by unnoticed.
Fox News reports that: “Officials working on healthcare.gov told a House Panel Wednesday they were unsure of how much it would cost to fix the site, after $600 million has already been spent.”
So, while the law itself is under fire, almost two thirds of a billion dollars have been spent on a website that doesn’t function properly, and will likely take a similar amount of taxpayer’s funds to fix.
And in the meantime, also according to Fox: “Environmental Protection Agency Director Gina McCarthy will be questioned by a House panel today about the agency’s 6,000 proposals for new regulations. This comes as a new AP investigation has revealed the EPA’s proposed regulations are not only overreaching but its push for ethanol production may be harming the environment as well.”
Well, we all now know some of the the disasters woven into the 2700 pages of the failing health care tax, and the troubles arising each time a new page is turned. But what on earth could possibly be contained in 6000 new environmental proposals? And how many more pages are in each of those? And lastly, who in the world has enough time to think up and write this stuff?
Which brings me to another example of our government at work, also from Fox: “Transportation Security Administration boss John Pistole faces questions from House investigators today over a new Government Accountability Office report that shows the agency wasted up to $1 billion on a failed behavioral profiling initiative.”
So, I guess it really doesn’t mater what the subject is, or what issues are involved, especially regarding the current administration. Once you bring in the government two things are unequivocally certain. There’s absolutely no chance of things going right and the costs to taxpayer’s of the wastes and mistakes will be in the stratosphere.
That’s it for today folks
Adios
