Is the Health Care Bill a Distraction From What’s Next? March 24, 2010

Everyone is talking about health care. “How could the politicians do this with a strong majority of American in opposition?”

This video provides some insight into the never-ending string of government takeovers, and seeing the whole picture is alarming. One lesson from all of this is that complaining doesn’t work. Neither does disapproving. What does work is being prepared to defeat government takeover attempts.
