BloggeRhythms 3/28/2010

It's Sunday, and once again, I was going to skip an entry and take a day of rest. But then I remembered something a friend of mine told me last evening.

It seems that Henry Waxman, congressman from California (at least I think it was Mr. Waxman. If not it was another Democrat congressman) questioned the validity of those businesses preparing immediately for the costs of future health care expenses down the line. His concern apparently is the fact that these accruals are substantial, newsworthy and thus, are getting exposure in print and on the air. Furthermore, it highlighted the fact that while the new program will not only cost a lot of money now, it hasn't even begun. Therefore, I guess Mr. Waxman thinks it best that the costs not be mentioned until 2014 or whenever in the future they take effect, or perhaps, not mentioned at all.

So, my question for today is why do just about all politicians, regardless of affiliation or party, object when any potential negative aspects about their actions come to light? Is the public just supposed to accept what's been done for, or perhaps, to them, and the media to just let things slide by unnoticed?

It seems that the politician's posture generally is that certain things have to be done for whatever beneficial reason, and therefore shouldn't ever be questioned. And anyone who disagrees with what's been suggested or done is either subversive, self serving, or worse, politically incorrect. In other words, everyone should just be a good soldier and shut up as they take it in the shorts.

In conclusion, it's apparent that once again, we've been helped by the Good Samaritans inside the Beltway. And this time, the help is of such great magnitude and universal beneficence, they'd prefer that it not be mentioned.

That's it for today folks.

Adios
