healthy days ahead

the Obama Administration has done something remarkable, they have overcome long odds to pass a health care bill that portends major change---that's right America--some change from the tired song of what we cannot do for our own people.  The Republican Party has once again disqualified itself from leadership, and discarded the interests of the American People in favor of the one thing that it does do--raise and spend other people's money for political victories.  They want to rule but have nothing to offer except war and spending massive amounts of our future to feed corporate allies--- look at Iraq--that is One Trillion of our dollars to one of the richest oil reserves in existence, look at it-- that is your child's college money, his/her future career in a new industry, the electric car, the healthcare so many millions need to prevent serious and costly medical conditions--there it is-- the incredible waste of our futures. The war did not have to be even 25% as costly as it was for us, the costs should have been shared by many including Iraq, should have been much lower to begin and end--yes it should have ended long ago too. It has not ended yet, and the lessons learned there, the bravery of the Iraqi people...so many good things, but the amount we paid-- the enormous lavish waste of money to reward the political allies of a marginally competent administration--that was the sinful waste of our futures.  Nothing is measured unless we know how much it costs to do it--- and these costs are deeply offensive to the national interests, we are weaker as a result.  So now we do something that is not for killing, but for saving life.  There is the difference between the Parties, one wants to keep us at war and ignore the needs here, the other wants to invest in the American people, in there needs and best wishes..I know which side I'm pulling for, isn't it nice to have a government that is trying to do something for the American people...i mean other than send our children off to die for corporate profits.
