Please read the article below and seriously consider contacting your senator to stop the so call stimulus bill from passing. In the article below, are details of creating a new bureaucracy headed by a National Coordinator of Health Information Technology. The changes to the health care system "slipped" in to this bill and the enormous amount of money to run this, need to be considered on its own.

We will see even more of this tactic, attaching a socialist program onto "critical legislation." True it has always occurred in the past, but that was "local pork." Senators and Congressmen paying back their supporters. What we will see now is a major push from the President and Congressional leadership for socialist programs. We have been slowly moving toward socialism for some years now, with the election of Mr. Obama and the Democratic controlled Congress the "angle of slip" just changed. Our only hope is that the courts will strike down these programs as being unconstitutional, as they did with FDR's brand of socialism. However I don't hold out much hope there.

Just my thoughts on this.

TW, could you please elaborate on the FDR programs that the court overturned?

I called both of mine last week!

These are the major programs:
Works Project Administration (WPA)
National Recovery Administration (NRA)
Resettlement Administration (RA),
Farm Security Administration (FSA)
Rural Electrification Administration (REA)
National Resources Planning Board (NRPB)
United States Housing Authority
Agricultural Adjustment Administration (AAA)
Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC)

These are some of the failed laws:
Agricultural Adjustment Act
National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA)
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938
National Recovery Act (NRA)
Undistributed profits tax
Economy Act
Emergency Banking Act
1933 Banking Act

And these are some of the Executive Orders that violated the rights of private citizens:
Executive Order 6073 - the suspension of the Gold Standard
Executive Order 6111
Executive Order 6102 - the confiscation of all privately owned gold
Executive Order 9066 - Japanese American internment
