Stimulus Package again

Yesterday, President Obama was in Elkhart Indiana pushing for the passage of the Stimulus Package. He claims this package will help with jobs where in Elkhart there is high unemployment. Of course what President Obama has not told anyone is that he is not an advocate of “Drill Here, Drill Now”, and the fact that the unemployment in Elkhart is due to a decline in sale of RV’s and motor homes. By the way, Elkhart’s main industry is building RV’s and motor homes. So with high gas prices of the past summer and the possibility that these prices will return since as I mentioned, President Obama believes in alternative forms of energy, a low employment picture for Elkhart does not seem likely. Now alternative form of energy is energy we would all like to have, but in reality, in 30 years it might produce 20% of our energy needs. So for those in Elkhart Indiana, I say, I voted for the other guy. You wanted change, go find an RV or motor home that runs on cheap alternative energy.

For those who don’t know, the Stimulus Package includes a revision in how doctors due medical records and empowers the cabinet head of Health to force electronic record keeping and review how doctors do their jobs as well as the insurance the public has. Now what I would like to see is for me and all other citizens to have the same medical coverage that President Pelosi and Vice-President Reid have. After all, the taxpayers pay for their coverage. Now we know that will never happen. Therefore, maybe they should apply for coverage just as the taxpayer does. God forbid they actually come down to the peon level. If they are going to force socialize medicine on the public, they must be included in the mix. Isn’t that called spreading the wealth around or are they above that. Do as I say, but not as I do.
