The proposed Health Care Reform legislation is just another extension of deceptive and band-aid legislation to increase tax revenue a portion of which will be used to help support the $400 billion of annual interest on our nation's current $12 trillion of debts. Health Care Reform legislation will only add to both of these amounts contrary to the political rhetoric coming from our president and those in congress.
The Social Security and Medicare programs are basically insolvent and will now demand excessive taxation and a reduction of benefits to keep them solvent in the long term. This is in accordance with the Board of Trustees report provided to our president and those in congress. If the proposed Health Care Reform socialistic legislation is enacted into law it will also continually require excessive taxation and a reduction of benefits to keep this program fiscally solvent in the long term.
If voters want real change in the governing philosophy that exists within our representative government, they must be legislatively given the opportunity to cast their vote to establish and place term limits on congressional members. We must elect congressional members who have a willingness and commitment to bring forth legislation to reduce deficit spending and national debt accumulation that's now required for the very survival of our nation's economic foundation.
We are a great nation and a great people who have been blessed with a national constitution that has provided each of us with the freedoms and opportunities to pursue and attain our goals in life. These freedoms and opportunities are now placed in jeopardy, and should never be taken from us by a representative government that remains fiscally out-of-control.
