The End Is Neigh, Unless Individuals Act

The recent attempt by fiscal conservatives to force the Senate and Obama to end Obamacare is, generally, discussed in three ways. 

The stupid way is that goofy Republicans are the Gang That Can't Shoot Straight and were engaging in a pointless political attack. (If one were saying it was a political attach by conservative Republicans against establishment hack, that would be true.) The stupid people gloat about "winning" some perceived game.

My discussions focus on Cruz' concern that the socialization of the medical system, via insurance now, brings an end to the liberty that we have all known. We don't need an efficient medical system (which would never happen) so that we can keep paying tribute to the lords. Freedom, and that means, say, freedom to offer medical insurance across state boundaries, will always find the best solution to meeting a need. 

The third avenue of discussion is that Obamacare and our spending, in general, has put us over the edge, that fiscal cliff, and one by one our fingers are going numb. HERE is a short article, more of a blog, that simply outlines the coming end to our economic system.  It begins: 

The Tea Party Is Not "Wrong" 

 There comes a time when one doesn't care why someone has a correct position, even if the foundation from which they proceed is faulty, only that they have the correct position. 

The Tea Party, led by Ted Cruz, focused on Obamacare, as did a handful of House Republicans. 

Despite the criticism leveled against them they were exactly correct to do so, even if they came at it and arrived at their conclusions due to an incorrect starting premise or analysis. 

Here's why...

Inside the article is a YouTube link and you can hear Jamie Diamond say in an interview that the collapse is two to five years away.  Now, we have to wonder when that was filmed. He indicates WE can stop it.

Please, don't tell me you don't know who Jamie Diamond is. If you don't know, PLEASE do not vote.

No, folks, the Tea Party is not wrong.  Senator Cruz is not wrong. 

You're wrong.  You're wrong because you believe there is such a thing as a free lunch and that you can have it -- or at least, that you can force someone other than you to pay for it. 

That's not only not how it's going to work out it's not how it has worked out thus far.

Wake up folks -- while there's still time.

The "take away" from the article should include an awareness that there in NO competition in the medical profession. Insurance companies are PROTECTED by government from competition. The problem is not found in a free market approach, an argument favored by the stupid, but in the state protection of large companies. This is oligarchy, a system of control that loves use socialism as that system can force people into economic bondage. 

Note in the graph, above, that nearly 70% of our GDP is government spending. Understand what that means. In the end, it is not much of a guide, however. 

Definition of 'Gross Domestic Product - GDP'
The monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period, though GDP is usually calculated on an annual basis. It includes all of private and public consumption, government outlays, investments and exports less imports that occur within a defined territory.
GDP = C + G + I + NX
where:
"C" is equal to all private consumption, or consumer spending, in a nation's economy"G" is the sum of government spending"I" is the sum of all the country's businesses spending on capital"NX" is the nation's total net exports, calculated as total exports minus total imports. (NX = Exports - Imports)

Got it?  There are reports that 70% of the GDP is consumer spending, yet 70% is also government.  It is best to just get out of debt, get our of dollars, and buy peanut butter.
