Holy Logic Batman

Now I know this will probably be really difficult for you left thinking genius's to do, but try to put aside all of your "feel good" intentions and think logically for a second. To hard? Yeah I kinda figured it might be a stretch for the few neurons you haven't turned over to the government for safe keeping to be capable of rational thought. I'm hoping there are a few left that haven't been damaged by the government liquor...and by liquor I mean handouts, welfare, various other entitlements....and the spares are probably tied up with "left foot, right foot", but if you can spare a few, lets look at a few things that might interest you. Before I get to that, lets look at the word entitlements. Doesn't that just scream I'm an elitist snob? But I digress.

Let us consider universal healthcare for all the sick, destitute Timmy's out there. Sound like an excellent plan right? And it is, very noble, has all the trappings of a great Disney movie where the poor underprivileged kid meets a wealthy benefactor that saves him from the streets and gets him the healthcare he needs. Bone marrow transplant or whatever. Makes you feel all fuzzy on the inside right?

So does a shot of Jager, but you will still have one heckofa hangover if you drink to many. That probably went over your head, so let me break down this analogy for you simpletons. The shot of Jager is the price tag for healthcare, not only does it make you feel like crap the next day, if you spend all your money on drinks, your bank account gets low and you can't pay your bills. The US government can't pay it's bills NOW, to the tune of 110% of the national GDP. Once again I'm sure you didn't pay attention in economics 101, but that is the same as spending every dime you make in a year, PLUS 10%. The bank account is already empty from day to day government spending, and the credit cards are maxed out with social security and medicare.  But the ultimate party guy BHO is still trying to order shots all around.

This is my interpetation of the back and forth between the government and we the people, using DC universe charcters. I'm going to try something with Marvel characters next time.

"Holy freaking logic Batman(BHO) we already spend all of our money"?
"Yes, Robin(that's us) but don't worry about it, we'll just charge it and worry about it later."
"But Batman that doesn't sound like a good idea to me, maybe we should cut back on some of our expenses before we spend anymore."
 "You're an idiot Robin, you don't know anything, you must be a fear mongering terroist like the Joker, or perhaps a racist like the Penguin."
"No I'm not, I really am against those kinds of people Batman, I just don't think this makes any sense from a fiscal standpoint, we are broke."
"Shut the f&#k up Robin, when I want your opinion I'll ask for it, I'm the hero and you're the sidekick."
