Incompetence In Charge


You would have to be living under a rock not to know that the Affordable Healthcare Act (AHA)is a colossal catastrophe.  The substantiation of just how failed this law is has become apparent from nearly every aspect.  The question is: are we really surprised?  The government that was controlled by ideology that often leans towards socialism at the time of passage allowed a law and the resulting rules to pass that contain more than one billion words. Contrast that with the entire Constitution of the United States that contains a mere 4500 words.

The problem is that we the people have elected folks to congress and the presidency that have two very difficult characteristics to overcome.  Two words: ineptitude and arrogance. That’s right, they are incompetent, unqualified, uninformed and too arrogant to realize their inadequacies.  So these so called leaders surrounded themselves with staff that often suffer from the same ideological predispositions and they began the process of designing a square peg to fit nicely into a round hole.  Who did not know this was not going to work? After all, they voted for it without reading it. Is that leadership? I think not. Who and why would legislators vote for something that would change life for every American without reading it. If that is not incompetent, I don’t know what is.

Do not mistake anyone who consistently opposed the AHA as those who are against providing healthcare to Americans. Everyone wants healthcare coverage and everyone wants every American to have it.  The real debate begins with how is it funded and who will pay for it.  The opposition to the AHA is simply that the bill and resulting rules are a colossal overreach  of government into our daily lives and our pocketbooks. It is a system designed more to give the government additional power and authority over the people than it is about providing healthcare to anyone. Some think this was by design, but I think it is simply an unintended consequence that nearly always shows up when incompetence is present.

The AHA act needs to be scraped. We need to elect more competent folks who understand the role of government as defined in the constitution. They then need to go to work and fix the many calamities created by previous Administrations and Congresses.  While this seems like an impossible task for the American people to accomplish, it really is our only chance of preserving the American way.

Not only should every single one of them be voted out of office, they should be punished for breaching the public trust and jeopardizing the future of America.  It is appalling that our government has put us in the position we are in and we are fools if we continue to elect the same people and expect something to change for the better. Vote New!

  1. Again Mr. harton is absolutely correct. How can we expect anything different when the President is a traitor to the American people and our way of life and surrounds himself with like minded greedy selfserving individuals. All you have to do is read the papers to see many Government officials acting in an illegal manner and then saying they are exempt from prosicution. Different rules people that are not what Thomas Jefferson meant when he wrote our Decleration of Independence nor what our Constitution states as our guiding rights. We need all new people elected next election and eliminate all current Government elected officials. Everysingle one.
