Nobody Ever Went Broke Underestimating
the Intelligence of the American Public!
                                        – H.L. Mencken

   The current debate in Congress is less about Health Care Reform and more a Political Punch and Judy Show in which each side flails the other in a meaningless battle of strong words and weak wit.
    Once again proving the late newspaper cynic H.L. Mencken was right in his disregard for the American people and their way-less-than-representative government they elect.
    But then the average American voter has always been driven by his emotional state – as opposed to his intelligence.
    For example, in sorting out which groups stands for what in national Heaqlth Care Reform movement, it appears those:
    FAVORING Health Care Reform hope to reduce the skyrocketing cost of health care while making it available to every American.
     AGAINST Health Care Reform want to keep Big Government out of the health care business.
     Trouble is, ain't no way ---under the nation's current profit-driven health care system – that we can provide every American with adequate health care any more than we can reduce Big Government's already huge role in the nation's health care industry.
     The horror, of course, is that it's all so insanely simple.
      Like everyone in the nation's health care business wants more money this year than last (which is why cost of health care continues to rise).
      While every other American NOT in the nation's health care business expects to receive increasingly better health care for increasingly less money (which ranks right up there with Jesus' free wine at Cana and eternal youth).
      All of which suggests the American people and their elected representatives are either:
      A - Dumber than shit.
      B - Have their heads shoved way, way up their collective butt holes.
      C - Or both.
      Oh yes.
      And double shame on Barak Obama for having the dumb-ass hubris to believe nation's terminal health care system can be fixed.
