Health Care debate in the US

I don't know what is going on in the US.  None of it makes any sense to me anymore.  Up until a few days ago I held out hope that Obama was who he said he was, now I am having a hard time believing that.  Actions speak louder than words and so far all of Obama actions are for Wall Street.  I like to pretend that this is a "ruse" or part of a greater plan but the more I investigate the more disillusioned I become.

I told myself not judge the health care bill until the actual final bill came out of committee and likely I am being too quick too judge, its the white house response to the senate bill that has me so concerned.  If Howard Dean is saying trash it and start over, you know there is a problem.

On the one hand I want to believe Obama, on the other, his support and bailout of Wall Street/insurance companies makes it very difficult to reconcile his words with his actions.  Unless his intention is to bankrupt and take over insurance companies, I don't see what his motivation is other than being a wall street tool just like every other president since JFK.  And that is disturbing.

Joe Lieberman

I don't know what is going on with Joe Lieberman and the Health Care debate in the Senate right now but whatever it is it is very odd.  Lieberman has come out against Medicare buy in which he supported three months ago.  This is very odd.  In this appearance on "Face the Nation" Sunday December 13th he is opposed to it even before getting the CBO analysis.  There is something weird going on, something doesn't add up.

Collapse - Michael Ruppert

Just watched this today and had to write something down about it.  Still haven't seen Michael Moore's new film - Capitalism, a good copy hasn't been released yet and I refuse to pay to see anything in a movie theatre so will wait.

In "Collapse" Michael puts everything together and ties it around peak oil.  Peak Oil is irrefutable,  it's math, it's physics, you can't argue with it.

He has many interesting things to say so hard to pick certain parts out, one of the more interesting is that thinks a transition period of 20 years would be incredible and is very unlikely.  More likely will take 50-100 years.  He says the same thing I have been saying, the issue is how to survive the transition.

There are so many things going wrong and so fast I quite frankly have given up trying to stay on top of it.  Michael's blog and whoever is updating it is doing a good job of collating articles on what is going on.

"See "Collapse" and die. Or die anyway, apparently. I was speechless after this film. Well, I am anyway, but this was worse." - Roger Ebert
