Todd’s Life

Hi all.  I know that I have been absent for quite some time from my blog, but I’m back.  I recently got married a beautiful woman from Chile and we have been enjoying our 3 week extended honeymoon here in the states.  I’ve decided to turn this blog into more of a political blog.  There are too many interesting things going on in the United States, most of it terrible and tyrannical.  The presence of government in our everyday lives here in the USA is appalling.  Is there any place that normal, responsible people can go in this country anymore without being harrassess by some form of government to pay more money in taxes?  Now that Obama is president and the Democrats are running Congress, the amount of stupid comments coming from the government has only increased.  Are these people really that stupid to think that the federal government can somehow manage healthcare correctly?  It doesn’t take a genius to know they can’t.  What it does take is a wise person to realize that the problem with health care and the rising costs has been caused by the government’s Medicare and Medicaid program along with it’s meddling in health care.  Let me see if I can set a few of you straight on this.  So the government back in the 1960s creates this Medicare program that gives poor and old people free healthcare.  What do people do with something that is free?  They use it like crazy.  Also, these people are not held responsible for their poor health choices.  They can just keep accessing free healthcare.  So Medicare has been expanded over the years.  So now you have millions of people with free healthcare using it like crazy.  What do you think is going to happen?  You are going to have a shortage of health care and prices are going to sky rocket.  Duhhh, this isn’t rocket science.  Americans are fat and unhealthy and the government only encourages this by rewarding crappy behavior.  Anyway, I will be writing about political stuff once again, but I will be doing it from the safety of Chile.  I don’t think I could stand watching the US implode from stupid, socialist decisions.  Good luck all.

I found a great article from Thomas DiLorenzo today.  Check it out here.
