It is interesting that Mrs. Bill Clinton was caught telling a lie about her trip to Bosnia. For the past few weeks, she has been telling the story that when she landed in Bosnia that she had to run for the vehicles because of sniper fire. It turns out that CBS has video of the trip and it shows everyone smiling. It even shows Mrs. Clinton talking to an 8 year old child during the ceremony at the airport. Nobody seems to be worried about any sniper fire. Mrs. Clinton even climbs up on the guard tower to be photographed with the soldiers in the guard tower. That pretty much debunked the story that Mrs. Clinton had been telling recently. She laughed off being caught and said she just remembered it wrong. I would think that if you were there, you would have remembered the children and the flowers, not a non-existent sniper.

But this incident brings up the larger point in that all liberal ideas are built upon a framework of lies. There is usually some truth mixed in to give the framework some stability, but it is generally lies that make up the idea. Let’s look at a couple of liberal ideas to see the lies in action.

First, that we all need socialized health care is a liberal mantra over the past few years. Is this true? No, some people can afford to pay for their own health care and do not want health insurance. They are lumped in with those who cannot afford health insurance. Another group of people that gets lumped in with those without health insurance are those that feel that they do not need health insurance because they are young and strong. By being young and strong, they are invincible. Being invincible they have no need of health care. When you subtract those two groups from the total without health insurance, you find that there are very few without health insurance because they cannot afford it.

So, why would you want to punish those who do not want health insurance by making them buy something they do not want, just to enable the few who need it. Why not come up with some plan to insure those that are truly uninsured?

But, the other thing to look at is what about the quality of health care for the majority of the public. Whenever you institute a socialized medical system, you end up rationing health care. That means people have to wait for important medical procedures. In Canada, people have to wait up to a year to get heart bypass operations. In the US, people get the heart bypass operations almost as soon as the need is identified. By the time Canadians get the bypass, they are sometimes pushing up daisies in the local cemetery. That is the goal of the socialized medicine managers. They want to cut costs as much as possible. If they can get people to die before undergoing an expensive medical procedure, they chalk it up to cost savings. The same story could be cited in England, Australia, Germany, France or any country with socialized medicine. The Democrats tell us that everything will remain like it is today, only we will have the government paying for our health care. That is a lie. That can not happen in the long run. It can happen for a few months to a year, but eventually rationing will occur and people will die waiting for their medical procedure.

Second, let’s look at something the liberals have pushed on us for years, Social Security. Social Security is really a Ponzi scheme. A Ponzi scheme is where you get a group of investors to put money into an investment. You do not invest any money; you just pay off the original investors with the later money. The problem is that you continually have to find larger and larger groups of investors. Eventually, the pool of potential investors runs out and the Ponzi scheme falls under its own weight. Social Security is set up like a Ponzi scheme. There are no investments. The original investors in Social Security are being paid off by later investors in Social Security. Larger and larger pools of people are needed to continue this system. The problem with the Social Security Ponzi scheme is that the Baby Boom hit. The baby boom is getting ready to retire. When we do retire, there will not be enough people paying into Social Security to pay us what we are told we will receive. The Ponzi scheme will collapse without a massive increase in the amount of money that people pay into the system. The public will not stand for that kind of an increase.

Every time someone comes along and says that we need to make Social Security solvent, the Democrats claim that the person is going to take their Social Security away. Since there are so many on Social Security and they vote, the idea always gets shot down. The people do not seem to realize that the plans always are better than the current Social Security plan for the people. The plan is always worse for the politician. That is because the Democrats love to tell Social Security recipients that the Republicans are going to take their benefits away if they do not vote Democrat. Enough of them are afraid of losing what little they get, so they vote Democrat. If a real fix was introduced and passed, the Democrats could no longer fool people into believing they would no longer get their benefits. And the people could pass their nest egg to their future generations. The generation of wealth in this country would be enormous.

How do I know that the plans to fix Social Security would be better than the Social Security system we have now? In the 1970’s, the federal government let cities and counties opt out of the Social Security system if they wanted to. A few cities or counties in Texas did just that. Those people are now retiring. They are receiving more money in retirement benefits than they did in their last year’s salary. That same thing could be happening to every person in the US, but the liberals do not want you to be rich. They want you to be poor and dependent on the Democrat party for everything.

Those are just two programs that are built on lies. One is one the Democrats (liberals) are proposing and the other is one they have had for over 60 years. One cannot work and the other does not work. Both are built upon lies to get them started and will be built on lies to keep them going. The Democrats are the party of lies and don’t let anyone lie to you and tell you otherwise.
