Mason Weaver: Veterans Day Message!

It seems very interesting to me that everyone else’s problems requires an action on the part of America. Why is it that I must act to make other countries a better place to live? A nuclear bomb in Iran is much more a Saudi Arabian problem than an American problem…

————————————————————-

Mason Weaver is an ignorant candidate running for Congress in San Diego. Running as a Republican in name only, this foolish man believes that the United States should return to full isolationism.

He believes that Iran should be permitted to continue their pursuit of nuclear energy and weapons. He’s so ignorant, that he also believes that the country at greatest risk when Iran aquires nuclear weapons is Saudi Arabia. It just might be that he forgot about Israel, or the ties that Iran has had to the terrorists who threaten our own safety on US soil.

Mason Weaver probably believes that Saddam Hussein ought to have been allowed to continue to pay the family of Palestian suicide bombers $25,000 each. Not to worry, Saddam only spent over $35million as reward money to these families.

Mason weaver probably also belives that the United States should ignore the Genocide in Darfur, Russian Agression in Georgia, global arms trafficing and the rampant spread of aids in third world countries. Because afterall, Mason Weaver doesn’t seem to care that America has a history of making a tremendous impact in solving some of the worlds problems. That America, has been proud to support and bring together many nations to solve many problems, which require leadership and acting first to set an example. Whether through sending aid, peacekeepers or investing in new efforts to save lives from poverty, sickness or war, the United States must act as a leader to stop these problems.

I agree wholeheartedly with you re: Iraq, faith-based horseshit, etc. In fact, I would like ALL of my federal money back.

I also agree that reform is definitely needed, but none of the current proposed bills address it in a way that A: will work, and B: will not bankrupt us further in the long run. I think the tea party guys are addressing that more than anything.

I’m a big fan of the Whole Foods model, but even that, which is entirely rational and will lead to greater coverage and lowered costs, has been viciously attacked by the Single Payer backing left.

The problem for me with “universal” coverage is that medical care is a commodity. There is only so much produced. If you make sure everyone has coverage you will by definition force redistribution of the coverage via non-market forces. Non-market forces are notoriously inefficient and unfair in the end. Medicare and Medicaid are tremendous non-market forces that drive health care costs up by eliminating the need for innovation and price competition by providers.

Any time something is universal, it is immediately almost worthless. Think “no child Left Behind” and high school diploma. It now means nothing because everyone HAS to graduate.

Bottom line for me: The federal government can do almost nothing right. Nothing on time, nothing on budget and nothing efficient. The only thing I can think of that they do very well is kill.

In the past 8 years with GWB and now Obama we have seen massive increases in federal power, spending, deficits and debt. I do not like this regardless of who is in power. Unfortunately most people seem to want federal power when their guy is in, and despise it when the other team is in. I happen to dislike both teams and just want to keep my money and be left alone.

Um, I don’t see how your point and mine are mutually exclusive. The interest they make off premiums is one avenue of profit revenue for the insurance companies. But the concept of insurance is a pooled system. Here’s a succinct explanation from the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Center, an industry-run organization:

“Many people make the mistake of thinking their insurance works like a bank account—money in, money out with interest when they need it. Insurance is about spreading out the risk among everyone who buys insurance from your same insurance company. Your premium goes to help fund losses suffered by the entire group. As a pooled resource, you can cover the larger losses suffered by individuals. Your company works for you by trying to minimize the amount of risk.”

So, you just called the insurance industry a ponzi scheme.

As for czars, it’s untrue that “other president in the history of the US has ever done this.” The Bush Administration appointed a comparable number of czars. Is it arguable whether this scary or not? Sure. But it’s inaccurate to state that Obama was the first.

first you are incorrect in that paying insurance is paying for someone else’s health care. How insurance companies make money is off of the interest they ultimately make from your premiums. What you are talking about is a Social security type of scheme which could be considered a ponzi scheme.

As for Mr. Mike….do you not know there are czars that obama puts into high positions? please look it up! No other president in the history of the US has ever done this and quite frankly …it’s a bit scaring. We have a checks and balance system and him appointing czars totally is against this system. As a democracy, we don’t even have a say in electing them….so you should be a bit scared too no matter what side you are.
