If statistics by John Sununu in his Time magazine commentary are true, all the dialog and vitriolic fighting and fiddling on the debt ceiling in D.C. may prove helpful.
"Tax preferences, like the deductions for mortgage interest, retirement savings and health care, bring the number close to 75%," he noted this week.
Americans receiving perks or benefits include those on Medicaid, farm payments, housing subsidies, Medicare, tuition grants and food stamps, for example, according to the former Senator from New Hampshire. He opened my eyes, if all that is accurate reporting.
Somewhere else I read about concerns about the United State going under. And, the response was that "we're the healthiest of the horses in the glue factory." My wholistic physician was delighted to hear that as I completed my annual physical with her in Chesterfield Township yesterday. And, I hope my Blue Cross will reimburse me for my "out of pocket" payment for the three-hour examination that billed me satisfactory minus the blood test results that will take a few days to examine.
She mentioned people she knows who aren't working, those who wait until their unemployment compensation is about to deplete before they look to land a job, and, others who think she will provide liquor for them when they visit her for gatherings. She refuses to enable them, thank God.
"Good for you," I slammed back, saying that "enablement, co-dependency and most of the nation getting aid needs to be evlauated now."
Dysfunctional and three-quarters of Americans who are dependent on government for assistance must give all of us pause to ponder: What's going on?
Am I enabling all this aid with my tax dollars? Is this what all the combat in Washington is about this vary minute?
If so, let the conversation roll on.
And, stop the dependency, and stop those taking advantage of food stamps, and the like, and make the unemployed start looking to land a job here or across the state lines now.
Those who are really poor, I'm with you, but I'm also for conditions and consequences on your benefits as the clock ticks and aid runs out, and, my wallet empties to 75% of Americans on assistance. Go figure. Is John Sununu accurate in Time?
Regulations must be enacted now.
And, those doling out the doe need supervision when so many are getting so much on my back and the little I earn.
I'm suspect even though I want to believe Sununu's stats. Where do I verify his alarming facts?
