Health Care and Europe

How many times have we heard the praises of the French and other European health care systems?  Every time we started to object to the cost and typical inefficiency of government operations, the Democrats trotted out how cheap and efficient the national health care is in Canada, England and especially France and other European countries.

I do not have the statistics and I do not know if they are even available, but I would love to know how many people travel to one of the socialistic countries for their health care.  Then I would like to know how many travel from the rest of the world to the United States for specific health care issues.

Earmarks

What is McConnell thinking?  This is the type of leadership that the Republicans cannot afford.  How can he hesitate in eliminating earmarks?  The citizenry has spoken.  Out with the old, in with the new.  No more politics usual.   Even after this significant election result … he withheld his support from the elimination of earmarks.  Earmarks, probably the poster child of old style politics.  HOT AIR  link below comments on his reversal to a TEMPORARY support of earmark elimination from federal budgets.  Gee thanks.

Quantitative Easing II

A major policy of the U.S. Federal Reserve is Quantitative Easing.  Already dedicated and spent is $2,000,000,000,000.  That’s right trillion.  Ben says let’s belly up to the bar for another $600,000,000,000.
Finally an explanation of The U.S. Federal Reserve which is understandable.  Click the UTube link below.  Thank you Garnet.

Perhaps we should buy some more Goldman Sachs stock.  No, all the profit has already been taken by the insiders as usual.
