THE STRUGGLE TO AVOID THE SABOTAGE TO FIXING WHAT BUSH/CHENEY BROKE

Adele M. Stan, AlterNet, writes about Dick Armey and how the health-care industry, the GOP and one media mogul made common cause with the anti-government fringe. Most of you will remember Dick Armey from Texas
Armey is fighting the government for his right to opt out of Medicare among many other strange responses to Health Care.

This article by Adele Stan sheds much perspective on some of the things that have not been so clear in the TV media. However, take a few minutes to read the article. It may put some concerns to rest.


There are still naive Americans who think that righteousness was the issue that had the House impeaching Clinton. They do not realize they are the pawns of the major pharmaceutical companies and other money-making interests who have no concern for the very people whom they've enlisted to do their dirty work. Sadly, these are the gullibles in our country who were duped to vote for George Bush long enough to destroy the economy of the country.

While they may be low in numbers, their voices are loud and the media love to show their protests because it stirs up controversies that get people to tune in to them. Too many people live on criticism, gossip, and the feeling that they are above all others.

Senator Jim DeMint lies publicly about Republican plans for Health Insurance that he purports were killed by the Democrats. The Democrats had no power for eight years to kill anything nor was the public ever shown an health care bill they were trying to use to improve the system at that time. Now that Obama has gained office and announces he will see a Bill passed soon, we have this flurry of 'creative ideas', apparently, from the Republicans who were too busy for eight years taking a vacation other than to rubber stamp everything Bush/Cheney wanted.
