Healthcare Non Reform...

It's been a bit since I've had time to enter anything in my blog. Working three jobs will do that:-). However, the latest shenanigans going on in Washington with regards to the non-healthcare reform have me completely incensed. Below I've included my most recent letter to my US Representative, Chellie Pingree. Please feel free to use any or all of it as you contact your Senators and representatives. I also copied my two senators on the letter just so they are aware how their constituents feel.

Why Give Them Anything

I know that I can use it more wisely than they do. I'm pretty sure that you can too.  So why do we let them take it?  Oh I'm sorry, let them coerce us in to giving it to them?  What is it?  Your and my hard earned wealth. Whether it be time, effort or money we worked hard to earn it and they don't deserve it!  Who is They?  Why the Federal Government, of course. The people that lost 68 BILLION dollars (ReutersAIG, Autos Offset Treasury Bank Bailout Profits - January 11 2010) of our money in a flawed and useless TARP bailout scheme. The People who created a tax code so ludicrous and complex that even the head of the IRS needs to hire «Experts» to help him prepare his taxes (The Hill - IRS Commissioner Doesn't File His Own Taxes - January 12, 2010).

Renewable Energy - It's Not About Global Warming

First of all I want to tell you that this is not an article about global warming, or as they call it now global climate change.  Man made global warming is a crock and a scam to bilk the people out of billions of their hard earned dollars to line the pockets of a few.  If one volcanic eruption can generate more greenhouse gasses than the whole human race throughout all time has generated then the effect that humans have on greenhouse gasses must be minimal.

The End For Cable

Less than one year ago I was paying over $85 a month to one of the major satellite TV companies. In this economy we just couldn't afford it so we canceled our service, bought an old style antenna with a rotor and shortly we had local TV again.  Of course this lead to the realization that no matter how bad broadcast TV was when we gave it up for cable/satellite it is magnitudes worse now.  Even though the transmission quality is excellent with Digital broadcast, there is basically nothing worth watching on broadcast TV.

Sick About Government Healthcare

Government health care is making me sick! For months now congress has been debating health care and crafting a bill that will give health care to all Americans (well most Americans and all illegal immigrants). They've fought and argued about how they can steal more of our liberty and have us thank them for it.
