The Circus On Capital Hill Set To Begin
At 10:00 AM at Blair House, the so-called summit on health care reform is set to begin. The majority of Americans are not behind this legislation, particularly at this point in the economic cycle. But this fact will not deter the clowns of this circus, aka our politicians, from pressing forward in this made for T.V. event. With the 2010 elections right around the corner, the purpose here is not specifically for any substantive debate, but for politicians to put their best foot forward for the constituents to see.
What Does The World See?
Regardless of what constituents back home may think at the end of this six hour sitcom, the world and world leaders see a country with pressing economic problems, national security problems, deficit problems and employment problems, spending precious time with worthless public relations stunts.
We have national debt that may be in jeopardy of losing its sacrosanct triple A rating, homeland security that is being tested every day, a real unemployment rate that is probably pushing up on 20% and deficits that at some point will make those country's funding it to have second thoughts.
Send in the clowns? Don't bother, they're here!
