I didn't want this to be my first post here, but it is. Hello everyone!
Many of us didn't vote for obama and we've been shouting that the country's being taken for a ride since his candidacy. Unfortunately the mesmerized are only waking up to reality when it hits their pocket book; too late. Our premiums also nearly doubled this year to over $2600/month so I tried to look around on the exchange and basically even at double the cost what we have is still a better deal than high deductible plan chez obamacare, which we are FORCED into from next August. Can't wait for the company mandate to kick in next year and see what happens.
Here's something to think about;
During the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 that started with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and ended with the Surrender of Germany and Japan in 1945, the U.S. produced 22 aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, 48 cruisers, 349 destroyers, 420 destroyer escorts, 203 submarines, 34 million tons of merchant ships, 100,000 fighter aircraft, 98,000 bombers, 24,000 transport aircraft, 58,000 training aircraft, 93,000 tanks, 257,000 artillery pieces, 105,000 mortars, 3,000,000 machine guns, and 2,500,000 military trucks.
We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various armed services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and Italy, won the battle for the Atlantic, planned and executed D-Day, marched across the Pacific and Europe, developed the atomic bomb and ultimately conquered Japan and Germany.
It's worth noting, that during the almost exact amount of time, the Obama administration couldn't build a functioning web site.
Was it incompetence or corruption?
