I am glad its over
Yep I am addressing the political campaign. It was pretty ugly in many areas. Frankly, I just got tired of the commercials on TV and Radio. But blasting the opponent unless you have a fantastic lead seems to be the American Way. After all this the most important point of it all is that we were able to select a government, by the people and for the people (sometimes I get the feeling I am not one those "for the people" I have to admit). I was not in the winning majority this time in the polls and there will be another day, just like the other guys said a few years ago. Now I get to whine about the majority not doing the right thing and using the political minority as a whipping post. Not much of a rant, but my wife won't listen so its good to get it down somewhere.
Just for the record, my biggest concerns deal with health care and the cost of health care. I recently had to change from one group policy to another since I am now a sole proprietorship. In looking at plans, they ran from $1500 per month to $560 per month for about the same family plan (just 2 of us) depending of course on the carrier. We ended up selecting a small business group plan at the lower end of the cost spectrum. As long as we don't have too many office visits when we are sick, the cost and deductible are not too bad. What the? (recent radio political ad). Health care costs are just too high and the system itself is out of wack, when you know the reason the doctor has to get you in and out so quick with not much more than a Hi-Bye is that the are not making as much money. Maybe the new congress can do something other than try and create a Canadian type medical system (remember the 90"s) that even the Canadians don't like. Will see if they can focus on that rather than more political games.
I am new at this Blog stuff so this is certainly not as good as a Mark Cuban blog, but you gotta start some where. I think my next entry will be about real estate, since that is how I am trying to add my value to society. If there any questions about that I am probably better able to answer those then political stuff.
