Your Future in Obama World
By Hillary Pugh
Here’s what I may tell my almost-grown children, when they come home for the holidays. They’re bright, in terms of GPA’s, but they live in a lib college bubble that fuzzes up the truth about politics and the economy. What’s obvious to most of us may be news to them:
Guys,
It may seem as though nothing has changed, now that Obama and friends have retained control of the government, but that’s an illusion. By laws passed and executive orders and regulations already written, by money printed and debt issued, the Powers That Be have already determined our future. You haven’t noticed because most of the new policies haven’t gone into effect yet, or if they are in effect, there is a lag time until their consequences are felt.
Money. When you shop for food or buy gas, you must have noticed prices going up, a dime here, a dime there. Inflation is already happening, thanks to Obama policies: limits on drilling and refusal to permit the Keystone pipeline drive up fuel costs. Shutting down power plants drives up utility costs. Printing money to offset federal debt inflates everything. Most goods and services will keep getting more expensive. Eventually, people on a low or fixed income (retirees and people on unemployment, welfare or SSI in particular) will struggle to pay for necessities, because cost of living increases won’t keep up with rising prices. We won’t let you starve, of course, but we won’t be able to help you out as much as we have been because our own discretionary income will be smaller.
Health. We expected Romney to repeal/reform healthcare law, but in the wake of the election, ObamaCare remains the law of the land, even though the majority of Americans don’t want it. Its effects on our family will be bad. Your grandmother is prone to falling. If she breaks a hip, she may need hip replacement, a $40,000 procedure for which Medicare, under ObamaCare rules, is likely to deny coverage, since she is eighty-eight. In that case, the rest of the family will chip in and pay for treatment. Ditto for your grandfather’s health needs, at ninety-one. We would not expect you guys to share the burden, since you are still dependents, and under the new law, covered by our policy through age twenty-six. By the way, our premiums are going up by several thousand dollars next year, mostly due to the new law.
