BloggeRhythms 7/3/2013

Unfortunately for most of us, although still early morning, today exposes several examples of the administration’s total incompetence and inability to function, as well as it’s continual placement of political favoritism above responsible governance.    

For starters, as reported by Fox News.com, “The Obama administration announced Tuesday that it is delaying a major provision in the health care overhaul, putting off until 2015 a requirement that many employers of 50 or more offer health insurance.”
 
The timing of the announcement's interesting because it was made late Tuesday, which happens to be the beginning of the holiday week with Congress on recess.
 
Nonetheless, regardless of when the announcement was made, the  administration certainly knows it’s program is not only technically unmanageable but becoming more unpopular as voters find out the details being spoon-fed to them. Senator. John Barrasso, a Wyoming republican perhaps put it best when he said, the delay’s a "clear admission" that the law is "unaffordable, unworkable and unpopular. It's also a cynical political ploy to delay the coming train wreck associated with ObamaCare until after the 2014 elections."
 
Individuals, however, are still required to either acquire health care coverage, or pay fines, which brings another question to mind. Because, I believe permitting bigger businesses to delay compliance suggests their might be favoritism, or perhaps even some kind of commercial discrimination against small business involved.
 
And if that’s really the case, it wouldn’t surprise me to see class action suits, tax payment strikes or perhaps, even further review of unfair tax practices by the Supreme Court. And, what’s worse, as every page of the heath tax turns, some new inane language is found. Which goes once more to prove that the only thing Nancy Pelosi ever got right was that nobody would really know what was in it until passage.
 
Next on the list is the situation in Egypt, which not only gets worse by the minute but exposes two of the worst decisions ever made by an administration.
 
Our walking away from the Middle-East emboldened factions who might have thought twice about starting conflicts, especially in nations where we formerly had close ties. But now that we’ve demonstrated complete disinterest, the whole regions becoming a hotbed of conflict, the worst of which for us is likely the one in Egypt.
 
Since Egypt controls the Suez Canal, speculators are driving the cost of oil through the roof, which raises the prices of fuel, food, transportation, travel and myriad other necessities. So by the administration’s letting that situation get out of hand, all of us citizens are, as usual, paying the price.
 
And what’s making all of it far worse is that we really shouldn’t be affected monetarily at all. Except for the facts that the incumbent’s pandering to political cronies prevents us from not only using the millions of barrels of oil right here at home, we can’t even open the Keystone pipeline which would also save us billions as well.
 
So, as noted at the beginning, a day like this one crystalizes what’s being done to us, resultant of either an insidious plan to derail the nation via socialistic scheming or flat-out administrative incompetence. But, in the end it really doesn’t matter which is the cause, since we’re already almost $17 trillion in debt and today’s events make the probability of real recovery considerably less, we lose significantly either way.
 
That's it for today folks.
 
Adios
