http://www.againsthillary.com/2008/01/31/hillarys-plan-for-economic-ruin/ This link just shows one more way in which democrats (and Hillary in particular) do not really understand the economy, and promise big spending without any way to get the money, except from other countries. In my last blog I pointed out that by borrowing money from other countries, we are losing the value of our dollar, while those we borrow from gain value for their currency. Our economy is going to rapidly bottom out if we let the democrats have their way. Instead of finding ways to cut down on the absolutely rediculous amount of money we are currently spending, we are simply finding ways to get more money, namely by "borrowing" from other countries. Rediculous? Absolutely.
http://www.newsmax.com/john_leboutillier/hillary_socialistic_plan/2007/09/30/36966.html Here again, we see to just what lengths Hillary is willing to go to get the results she wants. She wants to spend (in her figuring) at least $130 billion a year on things that we don't really need. I mean honestly, $5000 dollars to every baby born? Does she have ANY idea of how much that would cost?
How about this: the government needs to take a step back and take their hands out of places they don't belong, such as deciding what our kids need to know. Let's leave that up to the people who actually need to be responsible for it. Not taxpayers in general, but specifically parents. Ultimately, parents should be deciding what our kids should be learning in school, and what should be left up to the parents out of school. This way, we can have kids graduating from highschool knowing exactly what they should know in order to immediately turn around and get a good paying job doing something useful, and I'm not talking fast food, I'm talking nursing, pharmacology, dental hygenists, etc. Fix the way education is presented, and kids won't be needing thousands of dollars to go to college.
And let's be realistic about this whole "government pays for everyone's healthcare" issue. They are already paying out billions of dollars a year to lazy people on welfare who misuse the system - and before you try to tell me how much healthcare costs, and the benefits of welfare for those who need it, I can stop you right now. For those that need welfare, it's great, and it should be there, but only as a last resort. I have seen first hand, though, those who are lazy, do the absolute minimum required to stay on welfare, and completely misuse the healthcare option - going to the ER for a cold or mild flu, going to the doctor's office for every little thing, etc. It DOES get misused, and making it so that EVERYONE is government-covered will simply increase the abuse, and ultimately cost taxpayers deeply.
What would be beneficial, so that healthcare is available to those with a smaller income, (for example: the self imployed or single mothers working extremely hard just to support themselves and their children), is to put a cap on how much insurance companies are allowed to charge. The rates are astronomical. It's semi affordable for one person to insure themselves and their one child, but add another child, and suddenly it is in the realm of impossibility. Sliding scales would also be very helpful. Both of these things would end up saving taxpayers money, instead of spending another measly 110 billion dollars a year so that everyone can be covered. Come on people, this is just simply irresponsible spending and an unrealistic idea. And let's face it, an "idea" is all this will ever be.
I realize at this point that Hillary most likely will NOT be the 2008 presidential candidate, but it really doesn't matter. Hillary and Obama are both democrats, and by definition, will be trying to make money off of the backs of others.
I really have to laugh at both Hillary and Obama complaining about tax cuts for the wealthy, and planning to not only roll back the tax cuts put in place by Bush, but going back and counting up everything they would have had to pay had the cuts not been there, and collecting those too! Talk about a HUGE disaster! Who do you think owns businesses, which employs the middle and lower classes, and is responsible for quite a large amount of tax income? Rich people! It's the whole trickle down effect. If you start making rich people pay an exorbitant amount of money, they will not be able to afford having a business, and paying their employees, and suddenly you have 100's of people out of jobs because of businesses going out of business due to the fact that the owners suddenly are being taxed like crazy! Apparently, though, we're all too stupid to figure that out. One more eronneous assumption from the democratic party.
