I’ve noticed since the House passed the health care “reform” bill on Sunday evening, Twitter and Facebook are ripe with people voicing their opposition. That’s good in the sense that people care enough to actually follow what is going on. It’s bad though because, as was proven on Sunday, many of our elected leaders don’t really care what their constituents have to say regarding the issues. The arrogance that is coming from Washington amazes me especially considering the fact that these are the same people who criticized the previous administration’s arrogance. Regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum, I think that it’s safe to assume that most people are unhappy with the way that things are being run in our nation’s capital at the moment. I also think that these feelings have been festering for years (I’m not just blaming Obama) and are now starting to come to a head.

Last night President Obama laid out his healthcare reform plans for the world to see. I’ve been trying to stay away from political topics but I can’t resist this one. I promise I’ll keep it brief.
At my work we ship a lot of stuff. So much stuff that we have a UPS guy make two stops at our office every day. Note that I said UPS guy and not mailman. Our mailman is a nice guy but we’re lucky to see him once a week because of Postal Service cutbacks. This can be extremely irritating when we have to mail something. The Postal Service isn’t reliable enough for us to depend on so we chose to go with a non-government entity for our shipping needs.
