Understanding Health Care!

What's wrong with the president's Health care plan?

Many things!

But the main thing I think about when I see the legislation is that their are too many moving parts.

The best analogy I can give you is that of a engine in a car.

It runs great for the first few years, then it starts to fall apart. Slowly, things start to break down, parts need to be replaced, then it gets to a point where you throw all of your money in a car that is contently not working.

This is where the analogy ends. Because unlike a car that you can get rid of in order to purchase a new car. The U.S. government doesn't get rid of it's programs!
It gets new programs while still throwing money at the old ones.

I feel that, people would have a much stronger grasp of government and issues if they start viewing our politicians for what they really are... Car Salesmen!

What's wrong with Jewish Schools!

What I notice most is that, their was not that much difference in the faculty size. What's weird is; The Bais Yaakov my wife went to has, maybe, 1/6th the amount of students my high school had. Yet they had a very large faculty. I have a feeling that this is why it costs $10,000 per student, per year to run these schools.

Say you have 4 kids (This is not an uncommon number of kids, in a frum family). That's $480,000 to send them all to school. Not including Pre-Schools, Jewish Summer camps, Post-High School Yeshiva/Seminaries (In Israel), College, Weddings and so on!

Cut the amount of faculty in these schools, by half. This will lower the cost of tuition. If this happens, people might be able to afford to be Frum Jews.

Not all of us are Doctors, Lawyers or Accountants!

I love my wife!

Absent Mindedness...

Monday I saw one of the most absent minded things I've seen in a long time. A blind man was walking through Baltimore Penn Station. After his white cane accidentally bumped a lady in the leg. He then proceeded to politely ask her a question.

Blind Man: "Excuse me, could you show me where the coffee shop is?"

Lady: "Yea... It's right over there!" [she then proceeds to point the direction]
