Yep, united we stand, healthcare in a shambles. None of the political front runners offer any cures, Just a kiss on the forehead to make the boo boo feel better. That is why Grady hospital is the canary in the coalmine. No matter what your opinion on public funding of heath care this hospital makes it possible to train high paid tax-paying professionals. The message we as a society we are sending out is that you don’t matter. Not our problem, to turn our heads and look away cutting not only fat but meat and even the heart of a nation. To say, I don’t live in Atlanta or Minneapolis or New Orleans so it’s not my problem.
Let’s let the corporations solve the problems, but that is the government’s job to fix problems. That is the only legitimate domestic purpose of a government to maintain domestic tranquility. When the government says in effect we can’t solve the problem lets turn it over to private industry they are delegitimizing themselves. When the government fails to fix a school or a bridge or levies its not time to turn to a corporation but to a new government. This is a problem corporations can’t solve a government that says let someone else do it but still pay me! Indolent self-serving crying we would if only we could but we can’t so we won’t.
I would wager the plight of Grady is a common one across America, united we stand remember? A government that promises much but offers nothing in return to its people. Student Loans at competitive rates! Social Security? Why not privatize it? The 1200-point drop in the Dow average makes the 2 to 3% offered by Social Security look sweet right about now. It puts an exclamation point on why you don’t privatize, its Social Security not Social Speculation.
Even now the armed forces are asking wounded veterans to return reenlistment bonuses. You signed up for four years and when your unarmored Hummer hit that IED you had only served two. Never mind the eight billion dollars lost squandered or stolen by corporations in Iraq, Marine; we want our money back! And where are those night vision goggles you were wearing when that bomb went off? You signed for them, you are responsible for them and being unconscious for three days is no excuse. We will deduct it from your disability check provided we ever declare you disabled.
Not a government of the people but a government on the people. A government that looks to explain away rather than explain, a government that looks away while an entire class of its population is economically wiped out. Explaining, it can’t be helped but look how well our corporations are doing!
A government devoid from the people, where an administrator’s function is not to do the job. To not pay out benefits, to make sure there’s no investigation and not even to answer the questions before Congress. To make the numbers fit the story rather than the other way round.
A clicking clanking automaton of tyranny, unwilling uncaring and oblivious to the needs of its citizens. Building nothing, nothing but failure into the system with a whirlwind of lowered expectations. United we stand? If you believe that I’ve got a lovely bridge for sale in Brooklyn and I’ll let you have it a good price because I like you.
Even now, George Nero Bush presides over the demise of the dollar making those with money poorer by the day. The corporate bankers with billions of bad debts on the books rejoice as the value of the bad debts decline as well. Just as the Wiemar Republic did away with its war debt George does away with his.
The old adage says, united we stand divided we fall, is it me or does it feel like we’re falling? Or should it be divided we crawl?
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine!
