Who to blame.


Who is to blame?



We are lead to believe that Mitt Romney is responsible for killing people because he closed a business.  That is the commercial, that is the advertisement, that is the assertion. Facts and the timeline of events place him years apart from the event characterized in the ObamaSiper PAC ad, but do not let that get in the way.

If I could take this serious, this extension of blame via the (Kevin Bacon-Obama) connection of sources folly, then the world would be open for lawsuit like never before.


The FDA would be a prime target.  By making drug companies pass tests, delay production and follow regulations the FDA is keeping treatments from people that could save their lives.  How many people died before the drug was approved?  What if the paperwork was run from office to office at FDA headquarters?  What if a legal assistant went to lunch 10 minutes later so as to move along the rubber stamp of approval quicker?  The 1,000s of lives saved would surely be tangible and real.
 

How about the EPA?  How many businesses have been shut down, or not even been started because of the long list of regulations and formalities forced upon them?  How many people could be employed and thus kept from the unemployment line and thus being forced to go without healthcare insurance? 


Why can’t we seek restitution from any and all businesses that failed?  Any business that fails has to lay off its employees thus casting them out to the streets where they will lose their health insurance coverage.  Surely this gifted and creative super PAC can find instances of laid off workers that have lost their health insurance and thus fallen into the same circumstances as they portray.  And once we have made this incredible leap of connection, we can soon envision stuffing the courts with suits against anyone that has ever been fired or laid off.


Why not go after the Government who, even before the Affordable Care Act has so over regulated and over complicated the health care system so that we already have 50,000,000 people uninsured and unable to buy affordable insurance or afford the most simple care?  If Mitt Romney is to be blamed for closing a business that could not survive then the case has to be made that the Federal Government routinely kills the citizen by making the Healthcare system unwieldy and unaffordable to the average American.


What about Fannie and Freddie Mac?  They drove the housing market into the ground so that they could pay favors to their protected patrons (House and Senate representatives), thus causing a depression and thus putting American citizens on the streets and out of work.  How many people lost their health insurance coverage because of abusive lending practices driven by Government mandated lending practices?


The list goes on forever.  Any case of hardship at any time that is followed by a bad event within an acceptable time frame could thus be grounds for lawsuit.  If it is one thing our over grown excuse for a Federal Government has shown us is that no one is responsible for anything that happens bad in their lives; no one.

Maybe sometimes events in life happen and we all have to deal with them as best we can.
