always a catch
Note: Glenn Beck makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit, but no one is wrong 100% of the time.
And from KFYI.com...
(KFYI News) Half of Congress is in recess, but debate continues over President Obama's health care program concerning privacy.
Section 163 of the bill states that the government would be allowed real-time access to a person's bank records - including direct access to bank accounts for electronic fund transfers.
Even-though the bill mentions privacy aspects, the fact remains that if approved, Obama's health care plan will give the government permission at any time to your personal bank records.
Arizona Congressman John Shadegg says people have the right to be concerned.
"It's pretty Orwellian, it certainly gets the government pretty darn deeply involved in private matters in our lives."
From the Health Care bill itself:
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary shall adopt
and regularly update standards consistent with the 15
goals described in paragraph (2). 16
‘‘(2) GOALS FOR FINANCIAL AND ADMINISTRA- 17
TIVE TRANSACTIONS.—The goals for standards 18
under paragraph (1) are that such standards shall— 19
‘‘(B) be authoritative, permitting no addi-
tions or constraints for electronic transactions, 23
including companion guides; 24
‘‘(D) enable the real-time (or near real-
time) determination of an individual’s financial 6
responsibility at the point of service and, to the 7
extent possible, prior to service, including 8
whether the individual is eligible for a specific 9
service with a specific physician at a specific fa- 10
cility, which may include utilization of a ma- 11
chine-readable health plan beneficiary identi- 12
fication card; 13

The idea of “cash for clunkers” as a whole shows some pretty interesting philosophy when it comes to technology and the purchasing decisions we make as a group of people. We are paying ourselves (tax money used for the program) to “incentivize” the replacement and crushing of the poor purchasing decisions we made a while ago concerning vehicle technology all the while beginning new debt in the purchase of a new poor purchasing decision (the buying of a newer piece of junk-old-tech-wrapped-in-a-pretty-packaging-vehicle, most of which are produced by a company owned by the government/”us”). Makes perfect sense! Oh, and while we’re at it, lets do the same thing with health care.
LOL...I'd like to see bailout proponents take their own advice when it comes to economic stimulation as well. How many of them would really get out of their own financial hole by adding a riduculous sum of credit or other type of debt to the existing?
