Politics now days is all about the presidents health care plan and it dosnt look like its going anywere.A government run health care plan as an option might be good in that it would give some competition to the private insurance companiesand drug companies and keep the prices down. Phizer drug company recenttly had to pay two billion three hundred million in fines for their miss deeds.Just imagine how much money they were making to be able to pay that big A fine. But all that dosnt do anything for the millions of people that do not have A job and no money to buy insurance. And there are now an estimated twenty million illegal emigrants in the country. Who is going to pay their insurance.I havnt seen anybody address that problem and give any remedies for it. The only way I can see would be free health care for everybody paid for by the government. that would be A mighty big bill that would have to be paid for by higher taxes on the people with the big pay checks and I dont see anbody volonteering to pay the bill.

I have ofton voiced my opinion that diffrent ethnick groups speaking diffrent languages in the country could cause trouble. And in some cases some exotic religions could do the same thing.I have recently learned of muslim communities in this country that could be A threat to our peace and security.Three young muslims from the Minneapolis area were recruited to be trained as suicide bombers one of whome has already blown himself up as A suicide bomber .Some universities in this country already have special foot baths and prayer rooms for their Muslim students.In some schools students are tought the muslim prayers and that the holy quram is gods word and everyone should live by its teachings.Teaching the Quram could be A threat to our way of life and eventualy lead to war between the muslims and christions in this country because the Quram spacifies that all christians should be eliminated. Any muslim that turns christian is to be stoned to death. We better be on our guard. My opinion by John Zilverberg

Keeping Our Jobs

In the sept.24th Daily Plainsman columnist George will criticizes Obama for putting A 35% tariff on tire imports from China just because the United steel workers union asked him to. Makes you wonder if George had an interest in A tire manufacturing plant in China. But the fact of the matter is that may be the only way we can keep our jobs here in the U.S. Of course if we put heavy import duties on manufactured goods we can expect retaliation by duties on our exports so will we be any better off. We are presently in A world market and we are priced out of the markets because of our high wages. U.S. companies can not compete with foreign companies where they have cheap labor so they are forced out of business unless they move their companies out of the country where they have cheap labor. The unions are strong and are forcing us to keep raising our minimum wage. By doing that they are raising the cost of living for everybody .sending more of our jobs out of the country and encouraging people to sneak into the country looking for those high priced jobs that they wont find because most of our jobs have been sent out of the country.
