Where is Capitalism Heading?

Unless you live under a rock or only watch the liberal media, that is bought and paid for by the Democratic Party, you have heard about the current administrations efforts to give us a single payer Government Run Health Care Plan. From the onset of the idea of a government run health care plan, it is noble to offer every american health care benefits, however there are some holes in that idea.

The first thing that will be affected from this health care plan, is that it will give us a system that will eventually ration its benefits, as more an more people enter the plan it will eventually run out of money and resources, to provided every one who needs specific localized care. When that happens a bureaucratic panel will decide who is eligible, from all those needing a certian procedure.

Another thing that will occur as well, is that doctors will find that it is no longer lucrative to practice; and specialists will begin to leave the market because of the government regulations will provide an environment that will be less profitable.

Students in medical school who have gone into debt to pay for their education will find that this proposed health care environment will be less lucrative because the government will force them to only charge a certain amount in order to stay competitive and the government will only allow them to have a certain amount of patients, due to the amount of money the government has to pay them.

If you can see the urgency in what I am writing about, it is to only tell you that this plan will cripple an already damaged economy and nulify any previous advances in medicine. On a personal level, I feel that this bill will only be the beginning of the destruction of our free market and our liberty as a nation. It will remove the motivation factor that spurs inovation.

As you can see for the following video clips, the senators and congressmen who support this bill do not understand this country was founded on. And that citizens of this nation are out there exercising there freedom of speech, but the “left” is using thug tactics to intimidate and belittle there ideas. It is disheartening that those in power have so little regard for those who elected them into power.

The all mighty dollar?

What is happening to the dollar? With the economy in such a sad state, the current administration has decided that it is necessary to print more money to be infused into circulation. That seem like a good idea from the onset, but there are holes in that logic. Our nations past experiences have shown that when more money printed with out goods and service demand to back it up, we experience a little thing called inflation.

Back in the 1970's under Jimmy Carters administration, that same monetary policy was practiced and our nation experienced high inflation and high unemployment. As a concerned citizen you may think to yourself, what can I do to combat against this current problem. Well one thing that I believe is a good hedge against inflation is gold. Back in the early years of our country gold was used in the real sense to back the dollars value. Since that time that practice has been less practiced sine we have run out of gold and are now using the faith in the US economy to back the dollar.

In short for those of you who understand the old theory of supply and demand, it who be beneficial to you and your family to back some of your portfolio with gold. Please remember that this is my humble opinion and do do your own research to determine whether or not it would be to your benefit to buy gold yourself.

Is the Recesion a good or bad thing?

Any time someone experiences any kind of finacial hardship it tends to opens ones eyes to our dependence on a higher power. At least that is the case for me.

I was recently let go from a good job of eight years. I loved what I did although I did not necesarily like all the people I worked with. Credit from the management that was recieved there, was based upon whoses but you kissed and not by the quality and speed you got your work done.

I have to tell you however that the experience of being let go openned my eyes to so many great possibilities out there. I have recently found a job that I love and find joy in doing and I find that I do not have to kiss any but, only perform well and that is the way it should be in my opinion.

I wish all the job seekers out there to strive to remeber that God will help you become the best you can if you only but trust in him.
