<p><em></em>This week&#8217;s Republican caucuses drew much larger than normal crowds following this week&#8217;s unprecedented attempted takeover of health care by the Washington&#8217;s liberal left.  Here&#8217;s one peak into the experience in Utah and the unanimous precinct rejection of the mystery health care bill just passed by the House and signed by the president.<br />

<p>The recent health care debate has reminded me how far we&#8217;ve fallen from the words stated by <a title="President John F. Kennedy" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jfk" target="_blank">JFK</a>. You&#8217;ll no doubt recall those famous words, &#8220;Ask not what you&#8217;re country can do for you&#8230;&#8221; At the end of the day, the<a title="Obamacare" href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:h.r.03590:" target="_blank"> Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act</a> is a 100% &#8220;what can government do for me&#8221; type policy and as such simply doesn&#8217;t pass a basic litmus test for the proper role of government.</p>
<p>One of the key questions of the proper role of government litmus test is: <strong>&#8220;Can the problem be solved by a) individuals, b) families, c) intermediate associations, or d) a combination of the three?&#8221; </strong></p>
<p>In terms of providing addressing &#8216;health care issues&#8217; in America (with an emphasis on the second word of that phrase), the answer to the aforementioned question is a resounding &#8220;yes.&#8221; In sidestepping these three critical institutions of a civil and free society, Obamacare is destined to  ultimately weaken our civil society and weaken <a title="America, the most charitable nation in the world" href="http://books.google.com/books?id=Xa84gLTT8C0C&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;dq=who+gives+and+why+it+matters+arthur+brooks&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=Pl-8XsC7IH&amp;sig=HAo6C1c-MOT_kWsX1DCyOS4r2h8&amp;hl=en&amp;ei=ygGoS-uYFY_6sgPv3vn3Aw&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=book_result&amp;ct=result&amp;resnum=1&amp;ved=0CAYQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&amp;q=&amp;f=false" target="_blank">our nation&#8217;s charitable nature</a>.</p>

<p><em>By John F. Pilmer</em></p>
<p><em> </em>The &#8220;law of the farm&#8221;, &#8220;reap what you sow&#8221;, &#8220;what goes around, comes around&#8221;&#8211;whatever you want to call it, the ripple effects of a tsunami of greed, corruption, toxic debt and governmental mismanagement are starting to show up in very painful ways.  In the U.S., we &#8220;ain&#8217;t seen nothin&#8217; yet&#8221; as we brace for the long term consequences of short-term feel-good spending by Congress.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fKl_vRdaC2s&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fKl_vRdaC2s&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>A trillion dollars in new debt in the first year of the Obama administration. Breathtaking! Now, the CBO estimates the liberal spendthrifts are ready to borrow another trillion, give a take a few billion, to fund Nationalized Healthcare. This is BAD, BAD news for our economic health in the long run&#8211;to the extreme.</p>
<p>Consider the little country of Greece, in the middle of their own debt crisis. Their relatively small economy is having negative effects on world markets.</p>
<p>Oil Plunges on Greek debt News: <strong><a href="http://www.wibw.com/nationalnews/headlines/88636672.html">story</a></strong></p>
<p>US Stock Market down on news of Greek debt problems: Hong Kong <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9E3AIO86.htm"><strong>story</strong></a>; Canada <a href="http://www.oilweek.com/news.asp?ID=27381"><strong>story</strong></a>; US <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/marketbeat/2010/03/19/greece-concerns-surface-in-currency-markets/"><strong>story</strong></a></p>
<p>Now, what if that were the U.S. debt crisis, instead of Greece. What would be the effect&#8211;a tidal wave compared to the ripple caused by Greece!</p>
<p>China, our 2nd largest creditor (Japan just reclaimed #1 spot),  is concerned about the United States ability to pay it&#8217;s debt (<a href="http://curiouscapitalist.blogs.time.com/2010/02/26/will-china-dump-u-s-debt/"><strong>story</strong></a>).  The world is questioning us for the first time in history because we are spending like teenagers!</p>
<p>Printing money we don&#8217;t have to create another iefficient government run program (ObamaCare) will surely draw fire from our country creditors.</p>
