Having five years of nothing but consistent bad decisions, mistakes and wrong-headed policy to demonstrate, the Dems' have gone to their most reliable campaign strategy and the one they do best. Smearing their competition.  

Fox News.com reports that “Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and his Democratic Party’s 2014 election strategy -- accusing the wealthy conservative donors of trying to buy elections and block aid to Ukraine.

The attacks began in earnest last month when the Nevada Democrat in notable floor speeches accused Charles and David Koch of being “un-American” and “trying to buy America” and continued straight through this week.”

What’s most interesting, though, is what Reed considers to be “un-American” and what he believes the brothers are trying to accomplish. His argument is that they’re trying to buy “elections to advance their self-serving corporate interests of lower taxes and less regulation."

And now that we know what he opposes, perhaps he can use his powerful position to make desire for tax reduction and minimizing government interference capital offenses, calling for life behind bars or death penalty sentences.

In further regard to Harry Reed's wish for government uber alles, an article from CNBC on-line this morning shows where that kind of agenda leads, as follows:

“Cuba is giving its hundreds of thousands of medical workers raises that in some cases exceed 100 percent, official media on the island announced Friday, though pay remains much lower than what medical professionals earn elsewhere." 

The Communist Party daily newspaper Granma reported that “Cuba expects to take in $8.2 billion this year for the tens of thousands of medical worker it sends to care for the poor in countries such as Venezuela and Brazil.”

A sample of what the pay hikes, which take effect June 1, will look like shows that “At the high end, doctors with two specialties will see their salary go from the equivalent of $26 a month to $67, while an entry-level nurse will make $25, up from $13. 

 

Salaries at government jobs in Cuba average about $20 a month, augmented by a range of free services and subsidies. 

 

The raise will affect more than 440,000 medical sector employees, Granma said, and was made possible by the elimination of 109,000 redundant jobs in the last four years.”

So now we know what doctors and nurses have to look forward to here. Because the roadmaps been laid out in the incumbent’s health care tax. And gradually, as government takes over the industry, medical practice will be reduced to totally controlled functionality, much like any other category of labor. 

 

Which means that performing surgery or delivering the mail will eventually be roughly equal pay-wise, the only difference being that most surgeons won’t have to tote bags full of flyers through blizzards on sale-days.  

That’s it for today folks.
