Destitute vs. McCain, Pt.6 – Spend more capital to serve the public good.

Previous…

In order to provide health insurance to everyone, ‘…Clue’, satirically, offers the irresponsibility of simply printing up more money so we can just spend forever. The problem with that would be that, lack of personal accountability would go unpunished. After all “the decisions you make through out your life will impact your health [insurance]/care expenses later in life.” All good points, but still a little vague. Does personal accountability include leaders who do not tend to lending regulation and support damaging obscene tax advantages to those who need it least? (We all know now that ‘trickle-down’ was a lie. More jobs were lost then we can comprehend.) As for the consumer, we should all know that most buyers “are influenced by cultural cues that tell us keep on buying,” as Cynthia Tucker of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution informs us from her research. Here, we have a Republican President telling us the best way we can help our country is to go shopping. So we do…on credit. So here we are, $700 billion dollars poorer and wondering if this Republican and his economy expert, Paul O’Neil who told us we were not going into a recession, knew what they were talking about. We’ve certainly helped out some CEO’s to put nearly half a billion dollars into their personal savings, while they were driving our economy over the cliff during the two ‘GW terms’. It, evidently, appears that much of the fault lies with any Republican leader who tells us to just go shopping, even though our pay is forever going down and health insurance costs are skyrocketing.

The major question remains: Do all 72 million Americans having either inadequate health insurance and having with none at all, deserve to stay in that condition because they’re all stereotyped? Is this healthy for our nation? We seem to have forgotten the social wisdom of Henry Ford; whose greater genius was not technology, but a flowing economy. Enable his ‘ordinary Joe’ workers with good paychecks to buy his automobiles allowed our economy to flourish for 50 to 60 years. Today, our corporations have discarded the example of helping workers to prosper. Kenneth Galbraith warned us of this 50 years ago when he urges our country to spend more of our capital to serve the public good. Things like education and health insurance/care.
