Military Health Care

The Obama's defense budget for our military personal, both active & retired, will see a raise in their health care premiums of up to 345% over the next 5 years.  Also ALL military personal (retired & active) will be subjected to means testing.  (Means Testing = paying for your own insurance if you can afford it.)

Today Feb 29, 2012 Congressman Adam Smith stated that even with the increases, the Military's insurance will be "VASTLY SUPERIOR" to all other health care insurance programs.

AS I SEE IT…..If it is so "VASTLY SUPERIOR" The President , all Congressmen and all of the Senate should switch to it.  And don't forget - Means Testing for the multi millionaires in that group.`

High Price Of Gas

In this country there is an abundance of natural gas. 

Wouldn't it be a good idea if Semi-Trucks could run on natural gas?

THE WAY I SEE IT the government needs to help truck stops install

natural gas filling equipment and help get the natural gas lines to
truck stops that do not already have the gas lines.

Nuclear Power

The last time the government approved construction for a Nuclear Power Plant was 1978.

China, India and other countries have been building Nuclear Plants for years and are building more every year.
Every time the utility companies talk about building Nuclear Plants in the USA there is always an outcry from environmentalist groups .  The news media reports that we will have major problems and then a picture of a mushroom cloud is shown.
Is someone supporting the NO-NUKE movement?  AS I SEE IT the only one profiting from not having Nuclear power is the coal, gas and oil industry.

Fairness

Today I was listening to a Focus Group on Fox News and they were discussing last night's

Arizona Debate.
The group said it was OK for Mitt Romney to make non conservative decisions as Governor.
Where it is NOT OK for Rick Santorum to make non conservative decisions as a Congressman.
AS I SEE IT, there is NO difference between a Governor or Congressman making non conservative decisions.
You shouldn't get a free ride just because you are a Governor.

Remember - No one is perfect except God and he is not running for office.

Do-Nothing Congress

Obama and his friendly news media are always talking about the Do-Nothing congress.

They blame it on the republicans, yet the democrats had control of both the congress
and the senate and they couldn't even pass a budget.
Since the republicans have had control of the congress this last year many bills have passed.
Unfortunately these bills are not even brought up for a vote in the democratically 
controlled senate.  So AS I SEE IT, it's a Do-Nothing senate, not congress.

Income Tax

I just completed my income taxes for the year.  As far back as I can remember, every candidate

running for office promised to simplify the tax code.  But from year to year they seem to get more complicated.  After printing out 38 pages of income tax returns for this year, THE WAY I SEE IT
on this issue the politicians are just speaking with fork tongs' .

Unwanted Jobs

If you listen to most of the media, Illegal aliens only take the jobs  that legal's will not.

So that means that there is no one today who wants to be an electrician, carpenter,
brick layer or pipe fitter etc…etc…all the same jobs that me and my friends wanted
when we were growing up.
These are the same jobs my Sons & Grandsons would gladly accept today.

Immigration

The news media can find as many as 6 to 12 or more illegal aliens on any given day , yet

the Immigration Agency can not find them for deportation.  However government can track

a cow from one side of the country to the other side and through several owners all in a

heart beat.

Goverment Internet

Living in a rural location I keep getting advertisements for government backed satellite internet service.

I think this is a total waste of tax payer money as the satellite service is way to expensive on a monthly basis compared to high speed cable. Satellite equipment has to be updated more often. Who do you think will have to pay for that? They should be using that money to run cable where possible. People who do not have the internet that are living within feet of existing cable are having the satellite installed and are having to pay a higher monthly fee for the slower service.
