Today is a big day for the senate they will be voting on the health care bill.
I still wonder how many have taken the time to read it. I don't think very many. If it passes it is my belief that it will really hurt Medicare and Medicaid.
As a senior I really would hate to see that happen. Elsewhere in the news that's made big headlines is Oprah Winfrey calling it quits with her tv show. You know what? Who cares!!
The news media has a way of making a story huge and then keep dragging it out so that's all people think and talk about around the water cooler. And another thing is that it's really sad when people seem to care about what's going on with the celebrities lives then what is really going on around them. Wake up America ,are these same celebrities going to pay your hospital bill or put your child through college? Don't think so!!!
Ask yourself this question-Sometimes do some of the people in the White House leak certain things to the news media knowing full well that they will jump on it,making it huge while at the same time it distracts people from the real stories that are taking place? I wonder.
Why is it that over the past few years there has been a surge in the number of people or towns or businesses that have done away with calling Christmas,Christmas? Even our new president is calling the White House Christmas tree the Holiday tree. How sweet!! Could this be due because of the first five letters in the word Christmas? What about the guy down at Ft. Hood? Just call it what it really is a terrorist attack!
And kids Santa wont be answering any letters in Alaska this year all because of one persons meanness.Remember It may only take one person to make a difference so when you sit there thinking that what you think doesn't matter, well brother think again. There's a fella who lives here in the same apartment building as I do and he always says"there is nothing we can do about anything. That's just the way the world is today." Feel kind of sorry for him. When his Social Security is gone and his Medicare isn't doing what it should be doing for him,well brother don't come crying on my shoulder.
Meanwhile here in the good old state of Iowa our governor is telling us that it is Bush's fault for the state our state is in.I did not personally care for President Bush or some of his policies but this new government cannot keep blaming someone else. I for one I'm getting real tired of hearing it!!! Governor Culver kept the people from building a rain forest at Pella, Iowa which would have pumped millions into our state. He has driven away the film industry by not making sure from the very beginning that the tax credits which were offered as an incentive to film makers to come to Iowa were being used properly. Instead he just did away with the program. Another thing that was pumping the bucks into Iowa.
And last but not least Sarah Palain. Who cares!!
That's it for this time around .
