If I Were the Devil: Paul Harvey (Warning for a Nation)

[EI4GMB]

Whatever about God you should at least have Creator in your constitution as the founding fathers had in the U.S Declaration of Independence.

Wow this is getting around. I posted the "If I were the Devil" Video on Facebook a month ago. I have to say Paul Harvey predicted the drug problem and the BS we face today in 1965.

The only reason it's in The Declarations of Independence is to guard against men taking away human rights they considered "natural law."

And slowly it comes out. We will see what the supreme court has to say in June I hope.

There's nothing unintended concerning Healthcare reform, for it was derived behind closed doors... late at night. It was passed with legislators saying "we must pass it to see what's in it."

I say probably not, this is Obamanomics, why will this change the habits of the people that walk up to the ER now when life blows up for any of a number of things that could be handled by a doctor in a routine exam earlier. Getting people to work is key, if the true level of unemployment was 8% the problem would largely go away as most that work have insurance or can get it.

In your country I can see your point of view, I live on Belgium/Holland border for 2 years, but the education level is higher and drug use is lowest in EU countries. We have a significant segment of under-educated, drug using people that show up when big problems happen. They are not likely to show up the week before and say crack is consuming me and I think I'm about to have a heart attack.

Many poor use the ER for medical care and then walk away from the bill.
The nation pays for that medical service.
When insured, they will be directed to clinics and general practioners and the nation will save money. Just because people were uninsured did not mean the nation did not pick up the medical bills for a lot of them.
Those without assets were immune from collections.

The reality is that more and more jobs do not provide health insurance. Or if they do, it is so bare-bones that it doesn't cover much.

Getting people to work is key. But that's a more complex problem.

In those countries health insurance is much less dependent on who you work for. How much education you get is much less dependent on how much money your parents make.

Most of all, this didn't start with the current president. These problems go way back - to when the Powers That Be began allowing whole sectors of the economy to be exported "off-shore" because it was a little cheaper in the short run to not pay a living wage to American workers. It happened so gradually you didn't notice - but now it's a big problem. Goes back more than 30 years.

Interesting how Paul Harvey doesn't comment about THAT.

Think about it.

That is correct...
This country was founded with British Common Law and Natural Law.

Whenever I hear a reactionary pining for the "good old days" I wonder why they never seem to remember things very accurately. I guess time has a way of winnowing the wheat from the chaff.

The Declaration also asserts a Creator as the giver of that "natural law".

He hasn't commented on ANYTHING in over 3 years. But, he has a good excuse...
