The Breet Report – Expensive Living, Pony Up Public
The health care industries make millions, maybe even billions, from premiums paid by businesses (large or small) and individuals annually. Currently, the nation is in a battle for a universal plan to cover all citizens. Instead of what is in the bill – for real, the fine print – it is now shifting to cost. The nation is in a mess right now with too big to failures happening across the board. The impossible is now possible, but people are still expected to pay, pay, pay. Here is the question that rolls around, when the heck did it get so expensive to just live?
The understanding is there for why local areas have taxes. The people who have trained in medical and fire rescue, and police protection, should be paid because they provide a service to the local community. Hence, the cost is incorporated into the community cost for the secured piece of mind. Okay, that can be agreed upon.
Now, taking this idea of taxes to the federal level, knowing there are corporation issues within the government (funds to politicians, that are well documented) and Wall Street, this whole healthcare thing smells like a rat.
The people are getting tired of hearing about the mud, and ready to just pony up the cost. The idea of “wearn’ down” comes to mind, and this is what our society has come too. Since the average citizen learned the system, it is time to change the system. The change in the system is leaving citizens at the mercy of the all mighty currency.
Where are the jobs again? Who will build the new prisons, or do they already exist? What is the objective for such shenanigans? (Remember the average cost to imprison individuals is about $35,000.00 annually. Now, adjust for inflation. And yes, it is an Yahoo Answer, but check out the links associated with it.) Why is it so expensive to just live?
(Next thing in the pipe (besides this silly cap and trade, since REDD might just work) will be a tax on the pollute air we breath. You never know…)

Here is something else…has anyone noticed that Congress has not yet given themselves a raise this year? Maybe it is just me but…normally, a bill is passed with some fine print. Of course, if that has happened, then it has been glossed over…
Or…from earlier this year, perhaps they received the slap on the wrist too from Mr. President to not incorporate that into anything….I wonder.
