THE CONTROVERSY OVER THE V.A. “END OF LIFE” PROGRAM

President Obama, faced with a rising storm of protest over his Government-Run Health Care Plan, came out at Town Hall Meetings to say that no such language was included in The Plan and alluded to the hysteria as being caused by Cable TV, (FOX). Then, Congressional Members, on summer vacation, promised to remove the language that was not there.

The Veterans Administration was preparing to include a controversial chapter on “end of life” decisions for veterans that President Bush put the stop to. But, the current Administration has seen fit to put the language back in, and that is fueling public concerns about the possibility that Obama will sneak the language back in to the Health Care Plan just before the inevitable passage.


COMMENTS:
The public is wise to be skeptical. If us “old farts” would elect to die rather than to live on into our “golden years,” that would solve the issues of Social Security payments, Medicare, and his Government-Run Health Care Plan. Sometimes, I feel like we would have already been lined up next to an open trench and machine-gunned down if they weren’t afraid FOX might cover it.


TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Who was responsible for the “slight miscalculation” of $2 trillion regarding the national debt, Geithner or Bernanke.
(Miles – Ypsilanti, MI)
A. Neither. It is Glenn Beck’s fault for making everyone aware of it; otherwise, it would not exist.

Q. Now that we know for sure that Michael Jackson was murdered, will they finally bury the body?
(Sondra – Delta, UT)
A. He’s still drying out, “taking the cure,” so to speak. Who wants to show up at the pearly gates all ripped out?

Q. Why are all of the politicians talking bad about us, calling us un-American, Nazi, evil mongers and other names?
(Bea – Sun City West, AZ)
A. Because they expect us to do as they command.

TODAY’S QUOTE:
“The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.”
Samuel Adams
