Progressives And The Public Option - Donna Edwards - Part II

Donna Edwards of Maryland. One person that I have been monitoring because of her staunch left of center views.

She notes "Absent a strong Public Option we no longer have a HEALTH CARE REFORM BILL. We then have an INSURANCE REFORM BILL".

Why is it that certain operatives are allowed to incessantly repeat a certain talking point and are never thoroughly challenged upon it?

• I have already laid out the illogic involved in the hatred of a Health Care Insurance industry that makes $14 billion in profits per year as you turn over your care to a Government that has a $1,800 billion deficit in one year's time.  
• I have pointed out "Southwest Atlanta Regional Hospital" NOW CLOSED!!!!  It had too many GOVERNMENT PAID PATIENTS on its register and not enough people with PRIVATE INSURANCE, willing to come through its doors.  They traveled to downtown Atlanta for their care.  This modern looking building sitting in a community that has extremely wealthy Black folks to the west and extremely poor Black people to the east remains in a non-functioning state.
• I have told you that we as a nation decided to give Medicare to the elderly who don't work; SCHIP to the extremely young and Medicaid to those who are in their PRODUCTIVE WORKING YEARS so they don't fall through the cracks.  Now we see Donna Edwards and other Progressives hoping to put MORE PEOPLE IN THE PRODUCTIVE MIDDLE upon the government roles
• I have told you that the Medicare fund will run out of money in 2020 and thus will need current accounts to fund it
• I told you that the Social Security fund will run out of money somewhere between 2035 and 2042 and it too will need funds from current accounts in order to pay out benefits.  
• I told you that Medicaid is ravaging the budgets of the states.
• All of the three government health care funds will experience a "crowd out" effect.  As INTEREST PAYMENTS on this nation's debt grow - these funds are going to mean less money for payment for Health Care, Defense, Energy and other needed government operations.

None of this seems to matter to the individual who have their minds fixed upon EMPOWERING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT and LOADING IT UP WITH MORE FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS.

More than their desire to "counter act private insurance companies" is their need to REDISTRIBUTE resources to people who they know don't produce the monetary value that their DESIRED STANDARD OF LIVING would cost them.

I know how a "Donna Edwards thinks".  She is intent upon making this and many other entitlements a function of the EXPRESSION OF SOCIETY'S VALUATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL.  

One's productive contributions is separate and distinct from the question of one's receipt of this benefit.

With the blessings of "Magic Money" that our present capitalistic system has afforded the world markets to have confidence in per our aggregate productive base - our nation's "credit card limit" will enable us to pay the gap between production and living standard.

I also know that Donna Edwards is not going to be the one working on the "supply side" of the equation - making the touch decisions with regard to developing wealth that the society needs.  Instead she will focus on "investments" in the "Green Economy".  If this sector is a net money loser in real world financial terms - she will attempt to focus upon the "unmeasurable worth" that lower pollution and higher energy efficiency has brought to us.

The more we load up the central government as such the more we hasten its insolvency.  To be clear - it is already insolvent.  It is the investor community and its decision to keep us going that has thus far prevented a call upon the debt.
