A Few Thoughts

I heard today that the government is buying more gold. Interesting. Also, gold surpassed $1200 an ounce yesterday. Interesting. The government pruchases a valuable commodity with invaluable money it can print at will. Interesting.

Why is it the government's "job" to oversee medical care? Why is it the government's job to do anything? Do we ever ask the question, Is this a realm of life the government should have a say in? Are they qualified? Not only that, is it capable of performing well and if not, why do we not repeal it when it fails to do its proposed purpose?

There is no such thing as "free healthcare," "free bus system," "free gift." Period. They do not exist, never have and never will. Someone, somewhere is paying for them. And inevitably, we all will pay some price in time or money, however large or small.
