Joy

Our Christmas was smaller than Thanksgiving, but quite pleasant. Unlike the earlier event, two knotty problems arose, and I was forced to join the discussion. Observe:

Health care is easy to understand. The Obama administration wants to add 30 million people to the rolls of those who are covered, but they have said that neither the deficit nor taxes will increase. Common sense dictates that without that added funding the quality of service will be reduced, or the availability will be curtailed, or both. How will you be impacted? Personally, I will NEVER forget the words of President Obama when he said that perhaps it might not be cost effective to treat some older persons, and we should just let them end their lives solely on pain killers. Do you remember that outrageous statement?

Alternate fuel doesn't hold quite the same priority as it had before the current revelations about climate change, but I will not disparage anyone who trusts in its viability until I see how it all shakes out. That is, if ObamaCare allows me to live long enough.
