The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing the greatest amount of free meals and food stamps ever.

Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us to "Please Do Not Feed the Animals." 

Their stated reason for the policy is because the animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves.

This ends today's lesson.

And actually the question of whether Obama is the worst President ever is in the hands of America.

A 4 year Obama is a disaster. An 8 year Obama is the end of the American Economy.

Well, that depends on how you raised them.  If you raised them to be lazy, shiftless bums that want to just sit around and mooch off of the hard work of others, then Obama has been a godsend.

If you raised them to be hard-working diligent, self-sufficient individuals who want to EARN their way through life, well, then... yeah, he has destroyed their future.

And while Obamacare would limit costs associated with medical care, much to the chagrin of physicians who have to pay ridiculous amounts of malpractice insurance premiums, yet it absolutely would not touch tort reform in any way (ie.put any reasonabe limits on medical malpractice suits), which is what drives the insurance premiums up so much to begin with.
 
So he is really more concerned with getting his agenda across, than addressing issues that might actually help bring health care costs down.

I think the problems with the healthcare industry in 2012 go way beyond that now, but tort reform is a good starting point.

As I've also been saying all along with Obamacare, all it's doing is throwing billions and trillions of dollars at a system that is already bloated and broken with respect to out of control costs.  It doesn't fix anything.

An analogy: you have a car that's burning through a quart of oil a week.  You take it to your local mechanic.  His "fix" is to have you bring the car in to his garage weekly and he'll top off the oil at no charge to you.  That's nice, but it doesn't really address the problem of why your car is burning a quart of oil a week in the first place.

Obama's solution to your analogy would be to start a government program that gives new cars to people that don't have jobs, and raise taxes to make the people that have jobs pay for them.
