Lost In A Hot Air Balloon
Lost In A Hot Air Balloon
A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below.
She shouted to him, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.”
The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, “You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.
“She rolled her eyes and said, “You must be a Republican.”
“I am,” replied the man. “How did you know?”
“Well,” answered the balloonist, “everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I’m still lost. Frankly, you’ve not been much help to me.”
The man smiled and responded, “You must be an Obama Democrat.”
“I am,” replied the balloonist. “How did you know?”
“Well,” said the man, “you don’t know where you are or where you are going. You’ve risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You’re in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it’s my fault.”

Leadership And Currency
America has a rich tradition putting our most honored leaders on its currency.
During the brief existence of the U.S., our country has celebrated many great accomplishments.
We often memorialize these accomplishments by putting one of our leaders on our currency.

Bumper Stickers
These bumper stickers are politically biased. If you are sensitive to a particular political party you may not want to see these. I’m hoping that everyone has an open mind and will see them for the humor they offer.

Health Care Solution
Finding a real health care solution can be a lot easier then congress is making it out to be. If our congress members and senators will refrain from their own need for power and keep the well being of people of the United States as their main priority, a health care solution can be easily formulated, implemented and attained.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the U.S. labor force for August is about 155,000,000 with about 15,000,000 of us being unemployed (9.7%).
With the exception of the health care industry, all job sectors are either declining or indicating little change:
- Health care added 28,000 jobs
- Construction is down 65,000 jobs
- Manufacturing is down 63,000 jobs
- Finance is down 28,000 jobs
- Wholesale Trade is down 17,000 jobs
- Retail indicates little change
- Transportation indicates little change
- Warehousing indicates little change
With health care being the only industry adding jobs on a regular basis, why is our government wanting to put their dirty figures into it? The answer is simple…Power.
Now we all know that our current health care system is riddled with fraud, inefficiencies, poor management, waste and inflated prices. It also does not insure all Americans who want to be insured.
Let’s look at how many Americans are actually uninsured. According to the U.S. Census Bureau 46,000,000 people in America are without health care insurance. This is the number that you will hear about in the media and it is 18% of the population under age 65. There is a strong opposition to these numbers that make a good case for their inflation.
According to Julia A. Seymour at the Business Media Institute the actual number of uninsured may be as low as 8.2 mil. If this argument is valid, then why are we looking to change an entire industry and implement a universal health care program?
Health Care Solution
According to President Obama, he wants to insure every American, lower the cost of health care and increase competition by health care providers.
Let’s take a look at some reasonable and easy to implement solutions that can provide insurance to everyone who wants it, lower the overall costs of health insurance premiums and increase competition.
- Any uninsured American who wants health care can be enrolled into the existing Medicaid program at minimal cost. This can happen immediately!
- The cost of health care insurance can be reduced by providing a tax deduction for all heal care insurance premiums. The savings will be about 30% per tax payer and can be implemented immediately.
- Competition between health care insurance companies is only limited by current laws that prohibit these insurance companies from selling policies outside of the jurisdiction of each state. Wouldn’t it be a lot easier to change this law then revamp the entire health care industry?
I am not a lawyer or employed by the heath care or insurance industry. I am simply a concerned U.S. citizen who is witnessing a government take over of the fastest growing industry in the country. Everybody knows that the opposite of Progress is Congress so for anyone looking to take a massive step backward and wants out government to take over something of this magnitude will need to rethink their support.
Don’t believe everything you hear on TV and read in newspapers and magazines. Do your own research as I did, listen to both sides and make an educated decision. We are Americans and are proud of our country and do not want it to move one inch closer to becoming a socialist society.
Here is the TRUE health care question.

Are You In or Are You Out?
Are you in or are you out is the question we all need to be asking our members of congress. Glenn Beck has initiated five pledges we should all be asking our members of congress to adhere to.
Dear Mr. Politician, yes or no:
1. I believe in a balanced budget and therefore will vote for a freeze in government spending until that goal is realized.
2. I believe government should not increase the financial burden on its citizenry during difficult economic times therefore I will oppose all tax increases until our economy has rebounded.
3. I believe more than four decades of U.S. dependence on foreign oil is a travesty therefore I will support an energy plan that calls for immediately increasing usage of all domestic resources including nuclear energy, natural gas, and coal as necessary.
4. I believe in the sovereignty and security of our country and therefore will support measures to close our borders except for designated immigration points so we will know who is entering and why and I will vehemently oppose any measure giving another country, the United Nations, or any other entity, power over U.S. citizens.
5. I believe the United States of America is the greatest country on earth and therefore will not apologize for policies or actions which have served to free more and feed more people around the world than any other nation on the planet.
If your politician doesn’t believe, support or reflect these beliefs in their actions (not the little words they say), then they aren’t supporting you. More importantly, they aren’t supporting, protecting or defending the Constitution and it’s time to vote the bums out.
Make it very clear: You are either in or you are out.
