My Predictions in 2014: Get Ready!



V3CBSBPTS8N6


More than four years ago, I wrote that the U.S. was headed downhill economically for middle class Americans. At that time many Americans had grown cold of Obama's mismanagement of the American government. In those four years, conditions did not improve under Obama's administration. In fact, his second term has been besieged by many scandals which to this day Mr. Obama has not handled and the U. S. free press has given him a pass. The losers: American citizens who placed their trust in a President who has never taken responsibility for his mismanagement of the country. In fact, no one is held accountable for anything under this President.

On the Affordable Care Act, Mr. Obama fails to realize the extent of numbers. At this moment the Human Health Services (HHS) and Associated Press have reported that 4.7 million Americans have had their health insurance plans cancelled while 2 million Americans have signed up for health insurance. Mr. Obama quipped to Jay Leno on his late night T.V. show back on October 25, 2012: "The math stuff was fine until about seventh grade.... and now I am pretty lost." Well, it is starting to show.

Simple math means that the net difference is a loss of about 2.7 million Americans losing their health care coverage at this moment. That is about 3 million Americans losing their health care coverage due to the Affordable Care Act right now. And, young people who need to sign up to make the Affordable Care Act function properly financially are not signing up. This is a colossal loss and not negligible. However, people without an understanding of mathematics would not comprehend the dimensions of this vast loss of health care coverage and the disastrous results those losing their health care will experience financially, emotionally, and in ways that cannot be conveyed in words.

For these reasons, many Americans are being played and manipulated due to their lack of knowledge in business, mathematics, the insurance industry, and other areas where those with the least education and financial comprehension are prey to those that do. Consequently, most people are unaware of the consequences of the net difference loss of health care coverage mentioned above. And, so if Mr. Obama says that things are getting better, most Americans would believe that because without an education how would anyone be able to verify the claims that everything is fine and getting better? The result is that most Americans were fooled. And, now, everyone who voted and supported Mr. Obama may be too embarrassed to admit that the Affordable Care Act is anything but affordable. And, the tragic part is that the free press is supposed to ask the tough, detailed critical questions about everything: that is why the U.S. is a free country. But, in the last six years, the free press for whatever reasons gave Mr. Obama a pass on all critical questions. Now, all Americans will endure the results of a free press allowing the President never to answer critical questions, much less have an honest debate about where the country is heading.

As I wrote back back in 2009, Americans have lost more rights, money, jobs, and the integrity and standing the U.S. had among other foreign countries. Today, many of our Allies doubt the support and help the U.S. has always extended to our Allies. We have lost our prestige, and honor among other countries due to Mr. Obama's inexperience in handling foreign policy. Mr. Obama's indecisiveness and wavering have caused serious doubts to our Allies about U.S. steadfastness. For example, Mr. Obama's wavering and retreating back from the "red line he drew" with respect to Syria and the Syrian President using chemical weapons that killed many Syrians including women and children in Syria is an indicator of the lack of respect many foreign countries have towards Mr. Obama and the United States. On this particular issue, the U.S. has lost significant ground and actually retreated from the Middle East, and the world. President Assad from Syria is definitely a testament to the weakness a U.S. President who enabled a a killer of women and children remain in power by a U.S. President's lack of resolve.

Community organizer extraodinaire but a failed Commander-in -Chief. I'll spare the details on the disaster in Libya and Ambassador Chris Stevens which will further come to light later in 2014 with the Congressional Report to be released later in 2014.

Mr. Obama's signature legislation comes to fruition in just several hours. The enormous financial consequences this will cause mainly middle class Americans is getting closer as the countdown to the New Year decreases. One of the outcomes of the chaos and incompetence of this new legislation will cause the Democrats to lose the majority in the Senate after the 2014 elections.

Nothing in life is free, and the price of incompetence will shortly reveal itself. As Abraham Lincoln once said, "you can fool some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people, all the time."


Happy New Year 2014!
