Baby-boomers (BBs) have betrayed younger citizens by perpetuating “Social Security” after that system was exposed (1970s) as a ponzi-scheme. As the unconscionable amount of Federal Government debt accumulates and failed social programs debilitate the economy, younger citizens will consider (unofficially) retaliation through the health care apparatus as justified.

After genX and Y individuals watch (most are oblivious now) as a larger and larger portion of their income is siphoned-off (paycheck with-holding of producers) and squandered on counter-productive unconstitutional social programs, not to mention waste and fraud, they will eventually want revenge.

Liberty lackadaisical BB seniors got their retirement based on the spoils of the Greatest Generation’s amazing post WWII economy. They felt they earned it, and they took it!

However, BBs failed to be vigilant (as the Founders warned) politically, they were too busy enjoying their benefits, and were distracted by the liberal opposition industry (my previous TownHall post). Thomas Jefferson encouraged the “wards” concept; what percentage of citizens has ever attended a City/County or School Board meeting?

“Take Two Aspirin and Call Me When Your Cancer is At Stage Four. All the problems with the American health care system come from government intervention, so naturally the Democrats' idea for fixing it is more government intervention.”  [Ann Coulter / TownHall.com - Thursday, July 23 2009]

Excuse me for being redundant, however, liberals try to make everything seem complicated. Clarity is the conservative ally. Over time, government NEVER does a better job (the military – I am a proud vet – costs allot) than an open market. Affective over-sight, imposing minimum controls, on private enterprise is the solution to health care (and other program) reform for citizens, on the individual State level.

Just a few thoughts:

One – tort reform (most doctors support) set maximum awards / category

Two – provide voucher for qualified “poor” to purchase private insurance

Three – mandate that approved health service providers make available a statute defined deductable emergency coverage for otherwise healthy adults; and separately for families

Four – KISS discussion

The US economy has surpassed “taxation saturation”, meaning; the equilibrium point between private sector production and government confiscation has been exceeded. Killing the goose (for dinner) that lays the golden eggs is counter-productive in the long-run. Entrepreneurial activity must be protected and encouraged so as to provide the tax base to fund government.
