Political Debate
Political Ignorance at Its Finest
November 6, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
Given that the Media Pundits blew the Fort Hood story so badly I suppose many of My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s would say that the Republican Leader of the House simply misspoke yesterday at the Tea Party Event in Washington D.C. For why I hope that every American knows the difference between the words of the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence, I had to chuckle listening in horror as nobody in the audience or on the stage corrected the gentleman. Since, why I may not agree with Representative Bachman or the Tea Parties she represents, I do believe they lost a lot of creditability among My Community Elders and Peers of the 70’s in their opposition of healthcare.
However, we shall see as the House of Representatives dare pass a Comprehensive Healthcare Reform Bill that will allow Americas’ Community Hospitals, Medical Facilities, and Rest Homes to come into the 21st Century. Because why I know that many of the “Old Folks” worry about what will be done to their healthcare, understanding how Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders make changes I do believe that we are looking at 2015-2020 before Commerce and Industry can catch up with the present day technology and bring the American Consumer and Small Business Owner a suitable Health and Medical Care System.
Because why I will not debate My Community Elders and Peers about the separation of the two issues for reasons that they know, I do believe Americas’ Members of Congress need to know that the Children and Grandchildren of the Children of the 70’s can tell them the difference. And to that, I will only say to the President of the United States of America that why I was told the “Sky is the Limit” as a Child. However, knowing that only the President of the American Spirit has a Vision of what the Health and Medical Care System could look like in the next 100 years. May I suggest that you help your Community Elders and Peers shape a system that can provide Health Care to every Individual and find a principled manner to allow the Poorest Consumer among us pay for the Medical Care required to keep them a Productive Citizen.
For why we may have to pay to watch the fight between Americas’ Doctors and the Health Insurance Companies over money, knowing that a Remote Screening Video Up-Link House Call is just a signature away from becoming Reality. You might want to ask Grandpa and Grandma what they think the Retirement Years of the Baby Boomers should look like given Americas’ Current Economic Situation. And why it may not be throwing them out on the streets like the 20th Century, I do believe the Children of the 21st Century are more than ready to cut costs and introduce savings into the current system in order that Their Children and Grandchildren can enjoy the Healthcare sought in the 1940’s by Their Ancetors.

Looking for a Political Super Star Team
November 4, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
Although I cannot wave a magic wand and give My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s a Political Super Star Team which can deal with the issues of HealthCare, Energy, and the Economy. Not wanting to take anything away from the Winners of the 2009 Elections I do believe that as the 2010 Elections get up and running in the next few weeks that the Candidates and Incumbents will be allowed by Congress to discuss their ideas on how America can use the Power of Generational Change so “We the People” can put together (elect) a Political Super Star Team from among Americas’ Democratic, Independent, and Republican Civil, Political and Religious Leaders. For why I realize that I may not unduly influence the Candidates and Incumbents seeking the Seats of Americas’ Elders, having grown up challenging the Powers-that-Be of the 70’s as well as pushing the political limits of My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s I do believe that why All the Charlatans and Vagabonds of Washington now understand that Main Street and Wall Street is ready to address the Issues of the Youth of the 60’s and Silver Spoons of the 70’s through a Peaceful Revolution of Human Ingenuity and Innovation.
Because why I can’t tell you why Harry Reid is looking to put off debating the Healthcare Reform Bill in the Senate or why Grandpa won’t just let me exploit the Guaranteed Civil and Constitutional Rights of the President of the United States of America and speak out about “Mandated Healthcare Insurance.” I do believe that the Children of the 70’s and 21st Century can handle a public debate on why it is smart as Adults and Parents to maintain an Employer Based Healthcare System, build Community Renewable Energy Power Plants to link up to the National Power Grid, and establish a Sustainable Economy that can lay the foundation needed to take Americas’ Grandchildren to the 22nd Century.
For why I can say that the Presidents’ Vision of an Electric Car is only the tip of what can be done by “We the People” given the Same Rights of the Youth of the 60’s and Silver Spoons of the 70’s Political Ideology. You’ll have to allow Americas’ Democratic, Independent, and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders as well as My Community Elders and Peers explain why America only works One Way. Because why I will say “The Sky is the Limit,” knowing of Freewill and by Self-Nature that those boundaries exist for a piece of Logic and Reason found in a Personal Journey. I do believe the American History Books are full of examples of Americas’ Elected Officials despite or maybe because of their difference doing what is in the Inherent Best Interest of “We the People” up to and including a Given Point.
So look for a Political Super Star Team who has the Intellect to grasp that not even the 1999 page Healthcare Bill in the House is enough paper to write down how the Grass Roots all across America can work with their Local, State, and Federal Government and Society to help Commerce and Industry fix the flaws in the 20th Century Systems of Mankind. Given that with a little known argument of Parent Stupidity, I am sure that the Powers-that-Be of the 70’s won’t mind being shown by the Powers-that-Be of the 21st Century that some 20th Century Manufacturing, Services, and Technology needed to keep Americas’ Commerce and Industry working needs to be replaced with Political Ideas yet to be discovered. For why you might want to know that it is possible to build a Sustainable World that can exist in Harmony with the Nature of Man and the Wilderness of Nature. Good Luck getting the President of the United States of America and Congress to discuss 100 Year Vision of the Human Race.

Talking About Global Climate Change
November 1, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
Watching the Glen Beck Show Friday night I was impressed when the host asked the political question; do you save the Earth and Destroy Our Childrens Future? However, someone needs to tell him that the Proper Political Question should be phrased something like “How do we Save the Earth so Our Children have a Future?” For if you destroy the earth in an attempt to save your children future. Where are they going to live?
Now, I am not the first American to think this way or even to express a political opinion about it; however, I have to wonder if Glen and Others think that Commerce and Industry should be allowed to uncontrollable pollute their environment. Especially since I know that most of them are old enough to remember the Love Channel or have read about it. Nevertheless, having grown up knowing nothing, but how to pay for Fossil Fuel to heat their homes and run their cars I could see how the same fear that affected our ancestors at the turn of the last century could have many of My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s wondering about a Future without the Burning of Carbon.
For just as Electricity was found to scare the Masses at the end of the 1900’s, building a National Renewable Electric Power Grid worthy of the 22nd Century is most likely left up to the Wisdom of Grandpa and Grandma. For just like the idea that: if I gave you an extra $100.00 a week to buy health insurance would you spend it on purchasing healthcare. Americas’ Democratic and Republican Elected Officials have no such Luxury. Why, I’m not sure, but Some Things just seem to work better if the Elders and Powers-that-Be keep a tight hold on such Rights and Responsibilities.
Nevertheless, knowing that the economy will not grow properly until “We the People” switch from Fossil Fuel to Renewable Energy I do believe that Glen and others would be surprised if they would do the math on what a nickel tax on a Renewable Kilowatt of Electricity sold would do to paying down the Debt of the United States of America. For why you may be truly against the Establishment Your Community Elders and Peers want to build. Take it from someone who has been there and done that the Price of Revolution does not come from the tip of a sword or a harsh word.
Especially now that with Generational Change the Children of the 70’s and 21st Century can ask Their Democratic and Republican Leaders to have Commerce and Industry build the things we need to lay the foundation for a 3 Giga Watt Renewable Energy Smart National Power Grid and leave all the talk about producing excess carbon to those who really believe that the burning of a fossil fuel is an Intelligent Use of such Natural Resource.

Healthcare in the 21st Century
October 29, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
Why I know that Congress has worked hard to get a healthcare reform bill, but if Americans are going to lower the cost of healthcare and their insurance than we are going to have to find another way to obtain their Health and Medical Needs. For just like in the Early 1970’s when Over the Counter Drugs where greatly expanded so most Americans could Self-Medicate their ills so I do believe that most Health and Medical Advice can be greatly expanded. For why I can understand why the Establishment in the 60’s was forced to take control of the Health and Medical Industry or risk taking America back to the days when Snake Oils were sold as cure I hope My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s will look at all the ways your children can improve Elderly Care in America.
Because gone are the days were you grow up with the same doctor offering health and medical advice, in fact, I suppose you would get yelled at if you took your infant to many of today’s doctors. And why that is not saying that Specialized Medicine does not have its place in Government and Society, but faces the reality that as you grow up (not old) the Self-Knowledge and Wisdom needed to stay healthy changes. Yet, given the shortage of General Practitioners and those Doctors of Medicine who specialize in Elderly Medical Procedures and Services, I do believe that like Day Surgery many more Myths can be busted.
For who among the Baby Boomers want to be warehoused in their Golden Age? In fact, I would be willing to bet that the Children of the 70’s are not going silently to hospitals and rest homes. No, with such Elderly Services as Meals on Wheels and other in home services that allows a senior to stay in their own home until their final day I imagine that with the expanded services of the internet and the Post Office you can get everything you need delivered to your door with just a few clicks of a mouse or a phone call.
For why the Health Reform Bill of 2009 may be more about laying the framework for such things to happen, I’m afraid that the Children of the 21st Century as well as some of My Community Elders and Peers are going to have to learn that the Government and Society of “We the People” does not have an Auto-Pilot, but a group of dedicated Individuals and Institutions which are fortunate enough to call themselves Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders trying to manage the American Baron. . And why they have Our 911 Call Centers, Ambulances, and EMTs of the 70’s to build upon, ask Your Children if they cannot see the Day when the Family Doctor starts teaching Americans how to become “Medically Self-Sufficient” just because they get weary of answering the questions of Common Illnesses. So please, why Congress does have to do something about the power grab of the Health and Medical Industries Now! I do hope that you will advice your children that they should demand better Services and Procedures from their Community Hospitals, Medical Facilities, and Rest Homes.

Catching a Political Shooting Star
October 27, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
What do you call it when a person misses the opportunity to show Americas’ Democratic and Republican Elected Officials that there is a Viable Private Business Solution to Americas’ Health Insurance Issue? Well, watching the Hannity Show this weekend I was shocked when I realized that the host was so caught up into bashing the Obama Healthcare Reform Plan that he overlooked Doctor John Muney as he spoke about offering his patients a $79.00 monthly Health Care Package instead of dealing with the health insurance companies. For why the experts and pundits can debate if it was done out of Arrogance or Ignorance, I wonder how it feels to give your political opponent the ammunition needed to revoke the Anti-Trust Status of the Health Insurance Companies. Given that I still haven’t found a single American who can tell me the last time the health insurance companies invested in affordable healthcare
For why I realize that such opportunity has the potential to harm many uninformed patients, I also see the potential for the Community General Practitioners to get paid answering the Health and Medical Questions of their Patients. Something it seems the health insurance companies are unwilling to pay for. Yet, IMHO essential if an American is going to become medically self-sufficient. Nevertheless, as a way to directly lower the cost for about 80% of the Health and Medical Care an Individual needs to live a productive life I do hope that President Obama and Congress will speak with the Powers-that-Be and find a Viable Political Solution so America can keep enjoying both Community and Private Health and Medical Procedures and Services.
However, I do believe the one crudity about this particular political shooting star is that the No-Nothing Party has been silenced by one of their own. For how can you say you are against the Obama Plan when by default you proved that Affordable Healthcare for all Americans can be achieved?
So please be nice to Hannity for he may not know what he did, but on the off chance he did I do hope that My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s and Their Children will hold him to the same Principles and Standards that you do for this Unlearned Unbridled Anti-Authoritarian Child of the 70’s by Freewill and Self-Nature.

No Strings Attached
October 22, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
If you were given the choice between investing in your Community Hospitals, Medical Facilities, and Rest Homes or keep paying the health insurance companies, which one would you vote for? Now, is there any question why some on the Left and Right fear the Public Option? Could it be like politics, Health and Medical Care is a Local Issue. For why the CEOs of the Health Insurance Companies could learn a lesson from the Oil Companies raising the prices of their goods and services so high that it caused a global meltdown which created the banks around the world to need a bailout when many of their costumers where not in the position to continue to invest in a High Price 20th Century Market. I do hope that President Obama and Congress can look at the next 100 years and come up with a plan that challenges the Children of the 21st Century to come up with a way to make Health and Medical Care affordable in their community.
For why you’ll have to ask your parents why America has Community and Private Hospitals, Medical Facilities, and Rest Homes, I do believe that the Charlatans and Vagabonds of Washington might want to rethink their ideas of Healthcare. Especially since one could say that the American Consumer is looking for an answer to their Health Question long before they start asking for Medical Advice from a Doctor of Medicine. Because why I have no control over what changes will help My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s keep up with their children, already knowing that the Youth of Today goes on-line to look up the health problem I can only guess at how far the Elders can bend the cost of doing healthcare as more Patients become informed.
Because why I can’t complain about the system built by My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s, someone needs to inform Glen Beck that it is learning to ask the right questions that matters. For if this Unlearned Unbridled Anti-Authoritarian Child of the 70’s by Freewill and Self-Nature can see the day when the average citizen could get their health questions answered by a qualified worker instead of paying for Medical Advice from an already stressed out Doctor of Medicine. I do wonder why most Americans and Institutions do not take more interest in becoming an Informed Patient. Yet, still the Health and Medical Care Systems comes under fire which will require the Leaders of the 21st Century to be smarter and still keep the promise that every American can get affordable healthcare.
So, in keeping with no strings attached let me ask you what would the cost of healthcare be in your community if the Hospitals was outfitted with the latest equipment for every illness found among the citizenry. And don’t forget about the Staffs pay for the year plus their housing if you are going to pay them low enough wages that will keep them out of the housing market. Plus, the medical supplies and of course all the other expenses it takes to meet the healthcare needs. Now, add in Natural Disasters and Acts of God as well as the medical emergencies introducing their own twist on the subject and you still haven’t got close to what Americas’ Senators and House Members must look at in the bill before them. But please, why you do need to watch the Democratic and Republican Elected Officials IMHO, don’t tell them that they do not know what they are talking about until you walk a few miles in their shoes. For why National Change is possible, I do believe the new opportunities opening up for the American Entrepreneur and Small Business Owner will inspire the next generation to learn more about how to live a healthier life. Seeing that bending the cost of healthcare is directly linked related to teaching your Parents and Grandparents how to be Informed Patients.

The Cost of Health Ignorance
October 8, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
With 4897 hospitals http://www.statehealthfacts.org/profileind.jsp?ind=394&cat=8&rgn=1 in America one would have to believe that each administration will have over $100,000,000.00 in unpaid bills ($489,700,000,000.00) over the next 10 year just to put a dent in the healthcare reform bill making its way through Congress. Yet, seeing that many of these facilities are already paid for and has been equipped over the last 30 years at the Taxpayers Expense I am amazed that a simple Google search will not allow me to access the Average Annual Hospital Budget or the projected needs of the Medical Staff. In fact, other than knowing that the Health and Medical Leaders are calling for more money to provide procedures and services that they already refute as unnecessary or unable to fund or keep paying out million dollar bonuses I haven’t heard even one good reason why America needs more hospitals or medical facilities.
Yet, here we are ready to spend almost another $ 1 trillion dollars over the next 10 years up and beyond the billions all ready slated to be spent on a single sector of society and still that is not good enough for the loyal opposition to President Obama and the American Public. So, instead of calling for boycotts, strikes, and other civil disobedient I wonder how much more the Americans Corporations are willing to give up before they drop the hammer. Because why just a few years ago the Health and Medical Industry had less than 1/6th of the Economy, I wonder if the Barons of Medicine will even stop until they own 100% of the Market. Especially since one can make the argument that it will take the entire Workforce to deal with the Retirement of the Baby Boomers.
Thus, the Members of Congress and the other Special Interest Groups need to take a moment and THINK! For why does the same simple medical procedure that cost $1,000.00 in 1999 now seem to cost $3,000.00 with a projected increase to over $6,000.00? Could it be that new breakthroughs have lowered the costs? How about a new pill that eliminates the medical procedure altogether? No, well other than Profits and Big Bonuses to the Top Management how much of the new funds will go to increase the pay of the Medical Staff? Yes, the Healthcare System in America is full of abuse by everyone; nevertheless, the idea that we can throw more money at the problem without demanding change from the top to the bottom is just in my opinion kicking the health crisis down the road.
So why I realize it is hard for most Americans to understand that the Health and Medical Industry are taking in more money than the Consumers, Small Business Owners, and Taxpayers can afford even if you consider their lifetime payments. Short of mandating price and taking away the Health Administrations’ Tax Deductions what other pressure can be put on these Private Businesses seeing that the Oil Companies attempted the same thing a few years ago.

Why the Cap and Trade Bill may send many of the CEO’s of the 20th century running to bar the doors, I have a funny feeling that the CEOs’ of the 21st Century are going to win the debate when Grandma learns that “We the People” are talking about putting America on the pathway to Energy Independence. For why I may not tell her why I know that America can do it. Given the Guaranteed Civil and Constitutional Rights of Mr. Joe Corporation let us see if I can help the Children of My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s see the Beast that they must Master. For why I will admit that if it was up to Mr. Joe Corporation Nothing would Matter; however, knowing that he meet Miss Jane Corporation and had a Little John Corporation the idea of “I Don’t Care” is no longer an option now is it?
So doesn’t opposing Renewable Energy and new revenues of savings and following the 20th Century burning of fossil fuel sound a lot like those at the turn of the last century who said that Man would never fly and the automobile would never replace the horse. Now, the Democratic and Republican Elected Officials can debate on how Americas’ Private Corporations work to make Energy Self-Sufficient a Reality for the America Consumer, Small Business Owner, and Taxpayer, but seeing that the Children of the 21st Century have a 100 years to figure out how to build a 3 Giga Watt Energy Free Society I’ll keep my bet that it can be done by Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders.
Because with the many examples of Individuals and Businesses already leading the way with the new opportunities in energy I would encourage Mr. Joe Corporation to go talk with Little John Corporation on how going “Green” can greatly reduce or eliminate their monthly energy bills to the Oil and Power Companies. For why I realize that some corporations like American Steel will still need to use some fossil fuel to make their product, as a Child of the 70’s I do believe that the Coal and Oil Companies need to work on other uses of their resource if they are to stay a viable corporation well into the next century. Since why 100 years ago Electricity may have lost the National Debate on Energy, I wonder if Mr. Joe Corporation cares to bring his son and me empirical proof that the Global Economy can expand to meet the needs of the Citizens of the World for the next 100 years still burning fossil fuel.
For why the average American in the 20th Century grew up believing that they had to pay for energy, like Americas’ Forefathers I do hope that I will see the day when every American learns how to make the energy they need to provide their family basic needs can come from harnessing the wind as it travels across their backyard.

Fearing the Reaper
September 30, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
Although I will not go as far as to say that President Obama and Congress has had a perfect 8 months, I will say that they have done a better job than the Republicans in dealing with the fact that President Bush stated publicly that his Administration did not have a clue on how to handle the Generational Change facing America and Humanity. For having stopped the free fall of home values and saved most Americans 401k plans after they lost millions, created the foundation for a Green Economy, and taken on those Corporations who still insisted raising their prices and profits I do believe that the Children of the 21st Century have a better opportunity than the Republicans listening to the Members of the No Nothing Party. However, the time of fearing the Reaper is over and why I realize some fear the old saying “Wait till you have kids” to quote someone famous “Parents’ You Just Don’t Understand!”
Actually, like I asked them when are you going to explain “Children, you just don’t understand?” For why I know the Republicans are trying to protect the guaranteed civil and constitutional rights of such folks as Rush, Hannity, and Glen; since it seems they can speak “The Truth” to many who say they oppose any government involvement and the ability of the Powers-that-Be to influence the President of the United States of America and Congress. Because knowingly or unknowingly they realize that for Americans to reach their full potential than the Barons of Society will have to go to extremes to meet the Challenge of “Zero Weight 100% Traction” and in the view of some people will do anything to keep the Status Quo in Power.
Yet, why not talked much about by your Parents and Grandparents for reasons I’ll let them explain is the fact that the Freedom of Speech comes at one hell of a price. Especially since you cannot tell this Unlearned Unbridled Anti-Authoritarian Child of the 70’s by Freewill and Self-Nature that it would be right to teach Your Children that it is ok to lie to Their Parents. And hence, lights the Political Problem of Generational Debate. Because why I can say that My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s have “Agreed to Disagree” when confronted with such political questions from Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders. Blessed as an American to have lived long enough to see Their Children willing to challenge me to a Technical Debate even if it means they may have to take a trip around the corner with Their Peers and Community Elders. I hope they don’t mind if I explain a few things to the Youth of the 60’s and Silver Spoons of the 70’s in terms that they will understand. Because why I won’t go as far as to say that they are Ignorant of a Sustained World, seeing that the Founding Fathers of America was smart enough to limit the Guaranteed Civil and Constitutional Right of an American Layman Citizen while extending the Pleasure of a Self-Sufficient Government and Society to the Office of the President of the United States of America I am 100% sure that Your Parents, Grandparents, and Powers-that-Be will listen to the Logic and Reason that can prove that Political Argument.
For example; we all know that soon the retirees in the country compared to the workers in America will be 3:1, but no one is talking about what will happen if “We the People” keep thinking that “Warehousing the Elderly” is the most cost effective way to provide healthcare to seniors. Because why it has leas to Americas’ ability to ensure every American access to Medical Beds and Facilities, how much value will these building be worth one all the Baby Boomers are gone? In fact, I personally think that if we eliminate the needs of the Baby Boomers from the current healthcare debate and only looked at the costs associated in educating Americans on how they can become “Medically Self-Sufficient and Self-Insured” over the next 100 years that the Public Debate in Washington and around the Dinner Table would be a whole lot different than it was 30 some years ago.
Since, I suppose a lot of the opposition to healthcare reform extends from the fact that some of the Youth of the 60’s and Silver of the 70’s supporters are scared to death that they will be treated as bad as they treated their parents and grandparents. For why I have no problem imagining that some Members of Congress probably would take the political stance that All Baby Boomers pay for their own healthcare and let the consequences be what they may. I also know that Americas’ Elected Officials are held to a higher standard thanks to the Common Sense of the Youth of the 21st Century and Their Parents. Yet, if America can’t “Warehouse the Elderly” and make a profit than what are we suppose to do in order to provide for the medical needs of our seniors as well as raise the awareness of living a Healthy Lifestyle among the Children of the World?
Well, plus or minus what Congress hands to the President to sign into Law, most Americans are going to have to use Home Care Services for the Elderly due to the high costs of healthcare and health insurance since I doubt any healthcare reform will insist that Government and Society create all the beds and facilities needed by the Baby Boomers. And why not a bad thing, I do believe that with the technology in the hands of the Children of the 21st Century that the Health and Medical Industry in America needs to think serious about letting the Barons of Society invade the Home Care Services so that lower costs for Health Information will be the Driving Force needed to bend the curve of Healthcare and Health Insurance while building the Wealth needed to ensure Americas’ R&D stays in the lead on the latest breakthroughs.

Rainy Days in Georgia
September 27, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
Why Congress thinks about making healthcare mandatory for every American, I have to wonder why the Home Insurance Companies, Banks, and Financial Institutions have not obligatory that any structure built within 50 miles of a flood plain carry Federal Flood Insurance since it seems the so-called Insurance Experts told many of the Consumers that they did not need to spend part of the Home Owners Insurance on such services. Could it be that unlike Healthcare Insurance which is responsible for horrendous medical bills of their clients, the Home Insurance Experts have not learned that Nature does not care about their flood plans?
In fact, with Healthcare and Katrina fresh in the minds of many and every American one step away from catastrophic Illness, Injury, or Natural Disaster wiping them out, would not a Person of Common Sense realize why Americas’ Federal Government owns and operates the National Flood Insurance. For why my hearts certainly goes out to all who lost their homes in the recent rains in and around Atlanta, Ga. Like those who insist on living a high risk lifestyle I hope that those living in the designated flood plains had Federal Flood Insurance. And though I will respect My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s and say that those citizens living within 10 miles of any waterway should have known or been told that there is a chance (odds) that they too may be at risk of losing everything. I do wish that the Left and Right would at least look at a National Catastrophic Insurance Policy that would provide affordable Health and Life Insurance for those citizens living in the danger zone.
Because why I don’t know what can be done to deal with those who knew or should have known that a house built 500 feet above sea level can be flooded by a few inches of rain or those Charlatans and Vagabonds who still insist that Private Insurance can handle medical bills that can run into the millions, I do hope that My Peers and Community Elders will take the time to remind the American Consumer that purchasing Catastrophic Insurance in Health and Home is a Personal Responsibility that has a National Effect. Because why Congress may have to figure out the details of how to pay for such events, I do believe the Logic and Reason that makes Federal Flood Insurance possible would be a good reference point for anyone trying to make the stand for a Federal Life Plan.
So, good luck to those will have to fight their insurance agent for every penny of payment while still making the mortgage payment. For why I am sure that there is a whole lot of American Small Business Owners who would love to sell you the supplies to rebuild, I would not blame any American for letting the property go to foreclosure and starting fresh in a new area of the State or Region.
