House of Cards

Too many US jobs depend on bloated industries like healthcare, education and government that are based on misplaced responsibility for these services. Continued government funding is unsustainable and continued government subsidies are actually responsible for the cost crises we see in healthcare, education and government. All three are overpriced and underperforming. 

Students are actually responsible for their own education. The internet has replaced schools and libraries and made teachers obsolete. Parents are responsible for helping their children figure out what they love to do and are good at. Teachers should be tutors.

People are actually responsible for their own healthcare. Our bodies are complex, but are also designed to heal themselves. People need to look at their blood test results and learn what nutrients they need and set their food and supplement intake to achieve the levels of nutrients they need. Patients need to realize that medicine is a “trial and error” business and Big Pharma and Big Health Providers are cost-shifting and gouging.

Government should be responsible for very little. Politicians have refused to focus and prioritize government’s basic responsibilities. These priorities are limited to building and maintaining roads, bridges, highways, sanitary sewers, water treatment and distribution, 

All we really need is clean water, sanitary sewers, food, shelter, electricity, natural gas, transportation and jobs. We are responsible for getting our own jobs to produce income to support ourselves and our families. We are supposed to pay for our own basic needs.
