Hi jet....sorry I missed you....sounds like you and the dogs had some fun today. Poor gunner, 103 is way too hot. So far our temps have been on the cooler side this year....just a lot of rain.

Wanted to ask.....I saw on the net something about CA going to pay for health care for illegals. Is this something the law makers in CA are thinking about doing or has it been put into law already ?

 
Hey, Luv.....first, let me say that the lunatics run the asylum here in CA these days!! What you saw on the net is, in fact.....and unforutnately.....true. There is such a bill which I don’t believe has actually been signed yet, but it will be, I’m sure. Start date is January 1, 2020.

Here’s the lunacy: there are plenty of taxpaying and/or low income people (as in US citizens!) in this state who aren’t able to get medical care for various reasons (separate issue). This idiotic bill would appropriate $98million to cover 90,000 illegal aliens (mainly singles, I believe) who are between the ages of 18-25. Now....if my math is correct, that is $1m PER PERSON PER YEAR!!!!!!!!! Further, that demographic is the least likely to use health care services, which makes be suspicious this is another ploy to add a new tax on citizens so the state can have more money to misuse for other things!! The numbers are wacko cracko AND the state is BROKE....so go figure!!! Makes ZERO sense, but the fact is that the folks who run this state are betting that if they get enough folks here they will either vote illegally and never get caught (CA refuses to purge its voter rolls of dead people, those who have moved, illegals who shouldn’t be voting, etc.) OR there will just be enough of them to keep this state on the same track it is right now. CA has an out-migration of taxpayers that is greater than even the numbers coming in illegally, if you can believe that!! I expect this state to eventually slip into the Pacific Ocean due to a flood of RED INK in the budget (if it were only so easy!). Very sad state (pardon the pun) of affairs.

Oh wow...I was hoping that this was not real.....all I can say is...…CA is living up to its name of being full of CRAZIES...lol.....Gunner and you NOT included. hehe.  I am not sure why this bill would even be needed.....people who go to the ER, get medical help....insurance or not....right?  Of course, that back ups the ER for those who really need immediate care, but that is a different subject.  This whole idea sounds wacko to me and like you say, just a way to bring in money from the citizens of CA so that the powers that be can spend it elsewhere.  I still do not understand why illiegals....those breaking the law....have more "rights" then those born here or those who have attained legal status in this country do.  IF they would become citizens and follow our laws and such, I do not think it would be an issue.  I agree, I think there is more "hidden things" involved here then "wanting to help" others.

You are right, Luv....the ER doesn’t turn anyone away.  Again, this is for an age demographic which tends to be overall healthy and that don’t get sick frequently; hence, my suspicion of a ruse.   It is, indeed, a wonder why it seems that the citizens of CA are trampled for alleged “rights” of those who break the law by virtue of crossing the border.  Until Congress changes the law, illegal entry is still a violation of federal law....or so it should be!  I also think this blurring of the law further illustrates the notion that we have a two-tiered legal system—one for the general law-abiding citizenry, the other for both the wealthy and the indigent.  It seems very skewed, but I also think that we are seeing populist movements in many places around the world—-people fighting back against government tyranny.  It is an interesting movie to watch.  I believe that the human spirit can only be kicked down for so long before groups of individuals rise up and demand their rights to freedom.  This has happened throughout history. 

Life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness are the genesis of our country’s founding.  We should stand for upholding each of those principles....remembering that the pursuit of happiness guarantees nothing beyond the opportunity to pursue individual goals through hard work and integrity.  As the eternal optimist, I still believe the vast majority of Americans value those principles, but we will lose them if we don’t demand their preservation.
