Daily Rant – Part 2, August 19, 2009
August 19, 2009
I have been rethinking the Obama health plan and am wondering if maybe I was too hasty in opposing it. In fact, to make it even more feasible, we need to add one more piece to the puzzle.
I think we should make the DMV part of the Federal government and forget about letting the states run them. This would do a couple of things:
- Make driving laws universal from state to state – thus, no more picking on out of state drivers as bad
- Enable a smooth transition of melding the records of the DMV, the IRS and the new health plan
Here’s why. Think of the time you will save. You go in for a colonoscopy and you can get your driver’s license renewed, register your car, have a tax audit and buy stamps at the same time… even from the same guy! I love this idea.
Can you picture the scene? Here you are on a gurney about to be put under for the procedure and they snap your picture, fingerprint you (and take any other samples they need at the same time for your file) and then sell you a roll of stamps while taking the money directly from your bank account. Beautiful. I may have been wrong about this government run health care thing.
Medical school will have to be extended though. It will necessarily include courses on tax law and motor vehicle codes. An enterprising doctor may even choose to include smog stations so they can run a tube up your car’s exhaust while he runs a tube up yours.
Remember, folks, the Democrats will not always be running the government. What they think is a good idea now, could fast become a nightmare when the “enemy” party starts running things. Of course, I’m sure liberals think the bureaucracy will always be so big that there is always be friendlies in high positions. But they didn’t trust Bush’s departments even though they were filled with the opposite party because he refused to play partisan politics… to his disadvantage.
Let’s help keep government smaller than it would be if they take over a huge chunk of the private sector. People did not like the TARP bailout or the auto bailout. They are really against this health care take over. Democrats beware. There is an election coming up in 2010! Of course, you could always get a job with the Post Office!
