Rant

My husband heard a little blib about how the government is thinking one way to bail out the banks etc is to start taxing our 401's and IRA's. He only heard a small thing on it and hasn't hear anything else, but if the talks out there it is probably being discussed.

That just ticks me off. We had it crammed down our throats about how Social Security wasn't going to be there for us and we had to all start be pro-active about saving for our retirement. Invest invest invest and save. So we all get scared and put money in our IRA's, buy stock and become mini stock brokers so what. Our government can steal that money from us also like they stole our Social Security money! Money that if they would have left untouched, because remember...we pay into it our entire lifes, we would all be able to retire and live the good life.

Since when did we become a country that survived on loans. Is the reason we can help out countries that are in trouble because they are calling in their loans on us? We borrow money from them, they borrow money from us and where does it come from. Like people who borrow money for the expensive house they have no possible way to pay for our country and others borrow money they don't have. So they steal it from us. Those of us who work every day and whose only dream is to put a little aside and have enough to not starve when they retire.

This whole thing makes me sick. This is not what we have a government for. Both sides are screwing the people they were elected to protect. Taxing us more is not the answer. Maybe a new party would be. One that puts the people first.

AAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH. I am just ticked. Now also my health insurance at work is going to double and triple their out of pocket expenses for the employee's. It is like a huge cut in pay. I won't be able to afford to go to a doctor unless I am on my death bed.

This is another thing that was great that the government and insurance companies have completely destroyed. We had the best health care in the world and then they let the insurance companies run it. They let them decide what you could and could not have done to you and how much time it would take you to recover. The costs have skyrocketed since DRG's and you no longer have a family doctor who knows you and can give you more then 5 minutes of their time to treat and diagnose you. And that is a very scary thing.

This nurse who just spend 12.5 hours with you know more about your illness and physical condition then your doctor will from their 5 minute hands off approach they are allowed by the insurance companies. The doctors are required to run people through like on a assembly line. So they order thousands of dollars worth of lab and the costs go higher and higher. To even see my doctor is rare. I see the PA or one of the 12 other doctors in the office. So they don't get to know you and the ball gets dropped on tests and follow up one doctor made you promise to do. You get sick of the run around and lack of care and concern and don't go anymore. And then your labeled non-compliant.

The old doctors grew fed up and some I know left the field, but the new Doctors think it is the norm. To young to remember the Doctor offices of old with your Doctor, a nurse or 2 and the receptionist at the desk.



So boy. Didn't I get off work in a swell mood. I am just sick over the way things are going. A election isn't going to fix this mess. There is a good chance it will make it worse. Brother can you spare a dime.

Well, I have been up 15.5 hours. Time for bed. Maybe I won't feel so much like chicken little when I wake up. Maybe the sky isn't falling.
