Hard Not to be Political

I don't understand Obama's sense at all (I know, for more than one reason, this is yet another). I will start by saying that I am not against Senior Citizens, they are an asset to our lives and our country with the experience they can pass down to younger generations.

But Obama's health care bill gives them sub-par health coverage because they are not contributing, productive members of society and yet now he wants Congress to dole out $250 to 50 million Seniors because Social Security, for the first time since 1975 (when automatic adjustments due to inflation were adapted), has not increased. If Obama thinks that Seniors are not "contributing, productive members of society" and therefore deserve sub-par health coverage, what makes them worth $250 one time payment? This will cost his white house an estimated $13 billion dollars.

Yes, $13 Billion dollars. Lets put numbers to Obama's first nine months in office:
$13,000,000,000 for this SS;
$829,000,000,000 Health Care;
$1,000,000,000 cash for clunkers action (which by the way, he is still figuring out how to get money to dealers for); and
$13,000,000,000 to students across the nation to go back to school;
Which equals $856,000,000,000.

Do we realize what this is? This is money our country currently DOES NOT HAVE! That means that our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren will still be paying for this on top of the "latest and greatest" programs they work towards.

This is what else it is costing us: Our freedom to help our neighbor in need. Do we realize that we are no longer able to help our neighbor because government has made this illegal, impossible, or unnecessary for us to do? We really cannot stand to sit back and watch this any more!

This health care bill also gives financial assistance to those seeking abortion (now I know this is against several of religions - Christians, Hindus, Muslims ?? - as it is taking away the sanctity of life). This is unconstitutional: government cannot make us go against a religion we choose to practice and they cannot tell us how to spend our money. When are we going to stand up and fight? The politicians are going to keep doing what is in their own personal financial benefit and for what is best for their reputation.

Grrr...I'll stop here.
