Politics and Government in America

We all know the type. We all know somene who is always saying “things would be better if….” Things would be better if I had a different job, things would be better if I lived somewhere else, things would be better if I had  nicer car. Well my friends, the Democrats are playing the politics of things would be better if.

Just look at what they are doing right now in Congress. Things would be better if the government payed for everyone’s health care. Things would be better if we had renewable energy. Things would be better if CEO pay was less.  Things would be better if the rest of the world liked us more. Things would be better if Gitmo was closed.

The problem with “things would be better if,” is that they never are better.  The people I know who are like that always find something else that they need to change and they often end up worse off because of the changes they made. If all thechages never make their lives better, why should we trust that the government is going to be able to do any different.

And yet they push forward.  Today Harry Reid announced that the Senate may use a procedural trick to pass health care without lawmakers even voting directly on the plan. Instead he is going to attach the plan as an amendment to anothe bill and pass that bill instead. And he is planning on doing next week.

We are in danger of losing our freedom,and it is all being done in the name of  “things will be better if.” We are seeing the Constitution being trampled right in front of our eyes, and it is all being done in the name of “things will be better if.” It seems that the only way that things will be better is if we get conservatives who will stand by their principles in office and do it as quickly as possible.
