Checks And Balances

Anyone voting for Obama should think hard about the implications that will result from an election of this man to president.

There is obviously going to be a super majority of Democrats in the House and in the Senate after this election. This will mean there is nothing to stop the Democrats from passing any and all bills and laws of their choice. The Republicans will not be able to even filibuster from the floor to delay passage of these items because of their minority status.

It has been tossed around that there are 49-million people without health insurance, which is a tragedy, but can you imagine what it will do to the health care system? It is sometimes difficult to get an appointment or a bed in the hospital now. There has been no mention of building the hospitals and educating all the medical people conducive to accommodating that large a number of new patients. It would be overwhelming to the existing system and take years to accomplish a feat of that magnitude (by either party). Obama has stated that he wants to provide this health care now, not 10 years down the road.

If taxes are increased on businesses, as he advocates, then businesses will have to make choices: 1. Look for productivity gains to offset the taxes or 2. Layoff workers to compensate for the increased taxes. 3. Move their business out of the country. 4. Try to increase their selling price which leads to inflation. Whichever happens businesses need profit to reinvest in their businesses or they go under or get consumed by other bigger companies. This leads to conglomerates which is not good.

With the likes of Nancy Pelosi advocating $300 billion more for economic stimulus, which probably will not do anymore than the last stimulus did, she will also be looking forward to getting that 747 jet she wanted when she became the Speaker.

Your grandchildren are going to suffer big-time under this regime.

Think hard!
