This should be read and understood by all Americans whether you’re a Democrat, Republican or Independent.  I received this email and it sums up my feelings and 88% of my fellow Americans..It is now official you are ALL corrupt morons and our ex President and great patriot Jefferson was right about a strong large centralized government:

•     The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775.  They’ve had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.
•     Social Security was established in 1935.  They’ve had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.
•     Fannie Mae was established in 1938.  They’ve had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.
•     War on Poverty started in 1964.  They’ve had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to “the poor” and they only want more and they need it because the federal bureaucracy hasn’t helped them out of poverty but kept the poor down by enabling them.
•     Medicare and Medicaid was established in 1965.  They’ve have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.
•     Freddie Mac was established in 1970.  They’ve had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.
•     The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil.  It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before.  They’ve had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure. (more…)

It’s apropos that I’m presenting this information to you today, whereas the House Of Representatives in Washington are trying to force through a vote for the Health Care Bill HR3962 before they go home for this Fridays long weekend in honor of Veterans Day. Most of our elected congressmen would like to have this vote completed so they won’t have to face their constituents and answer some of the hard questions they may have for them. If the bill is voted on and passed in the House it’s now the Senates headache. Just one more thing before I get today’s blog here’s a summary of the Bill HR3962 Socialized Medicine and what it has written in it:

  • Raises taxes on middle class families
  • Makes significant cuts to Medicare
  • Taxes small businesses that have 17 or more employees
  • Taxes current insurance policies that will be passed on to patients in higher premiums
    Penalizes states like California for having medical malpractice reform laws on the books
  • States may have to be left paying for unfunded mandates as more Americans go on the government plan by expanding Medicaid eligibility (a federal-state partnership)
