I really hate talking about an election that is still over a year away but we're closing in on the first set of primaries so I guess it's time to at least look at what is happening on the political landscape. My favorite story comes from South Carolina where Jesse Jackson says Barack Obama is "acting too white." Amazing. If someone were to ever save Obama acts too black, there would be riots in the street. But Jesse Jackson can come out and say he's acting too white no one seems to care too much. Leave it to Jackson to continue to inject race into everything. It is Jackson and his posse that really create division in this country.
Hilary is back on her Health Care Crusade. Did she learn nothing from 1992? Every American required to have health insurance. Every employer required to provide health insurance. Such a mandate simply increases the cost of hiring workers, meaning employers will inevitably hire fewer workers. Some may even be forced to layoff current employees in order to meet this mandate of providing cradle-to-grave health insurance for the employee and his family. It is asinine to require a low-level employer to provide health insurance. I understand the sentiment but the cost is insane. If you really want to fix health care, the industry needs more privatization and competition. The government is why health care is so expensive. The inability to compete because of insurers and HMOs is why health care is so expensive. Hilary's plan will decimate health care in this county and ruin several viable businesses. It will never be enacted though...it's just rhetoric.
On the other side of the race, I have no idea. I'm guessing Romney and Guiliani are battling it out for the nomination with McCain nipping at the heels hoping to steal some votes. The Republicans are playing it pretty quiet compared to Hilary's loud mouth and the black-on-black violence occuring against Obama. Ah, campaign season...I really hate it.
