I don’t often quote Nancy Pelosi except
to make fun of her, but she did get something right last week. She said that the health care bill which was passed
by the House last week was the “deconstruction of government.”
We need a lot more deconstruction of the
federal government. A vote for Donald Trump
for President was in large part a vote for a reduction in the size and control
of the federal government and against the political elite.
I don’t like the health care bill,
personally, because the federal government is trying to fix a problem caused by
medical insurance with medical insurance. Secondly, having the federal government
mandate our health care is a clear violation of the 10th Amendment.
The new bill is good because it gives
people more control over their health care than under Obama Care. I don’t want insurance companies or the
federal government telling me what my options are for my health care. Obama Care, single payer, or government
provided health care, all take away a patient’s freedom of choice.
Something had to be done because Obama
Care was imploding. It was not
sustainable. Many people had medical
insurance, but because of deductibles, co-pays, and premiums they had no health
care. They were worse off than
before.
Obama Care always was a plan to increase
the size of the federal government and increase control over our lives. Most politicians knew the promises; “If you
like your doctor, you can keep your doctor” and “if you like your insurance
company, you can keep your insurance company” were outright lies.
The federal government needs to be
deconstructed a lot more. A government
shut down or downsizing would be a good thing.
I don’t mean cutting back on the things the federal government is
responsible for under the Constitution.
This includes things like the military, border control, and law
enforcement. These areas need to be
maintained or even increased.
The rest of the federal government
should be cut by 75%. I bet we would
never know the difference. This can’t be
done all at once, but in stages.
A 75% cut would not be enough for some agencies
and departments. Some should be cut 90%
to 100%. The IRS is an example of one
that should be cut 90%. With a good tax
plan like the Fair Tax or even a flat tax, a 90% cut would be reasonable.
The Department of Education is an
example of one that should be cut 100%. Our
children’s education was much better off before there was a Department of
Education, when education was the responsibility of the people and the states. Past heads of the department of the DOE have
even stated the department did more harm than good. School test scores and world ranking have
dropped in direct relation to the increase in federal spending on
education. Now politicians want the
federal government to spend even more.
Sounds like the definition of insanity to me.
This deconstruction of government may
sound radical, but is certainly justified by history, our Constitution, and the
10th Amendment which reads:
The powers not
delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to
the states, are reserved to the
states respectively, or to the people.
God bless the
United States of America . God bless President Trump and guide him to
make America
great again.
