The Zoo Has an African Lion…. The White House has a Lyin’ African.

History Lesson
The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775 – they’ve had 234 years to get it right; it is broke, and even though heavily subsidized, it can’t compete with private sector FedExp and UPS services.
Social Security was established in 1935 – they’ve had 74 years to get it right; it is broke.
Fannie Mae was established in 1938 – they’ve had 71 years to get it right; it is broke..
Freddie Mac was established in 1970 – they’ve had 39 years to get it right; it is broke.
Together Fannie and Freddie have now led the entire world into the worst economic collapse in 80 years.
The War on Poverty was started in 1964 – they’ve had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our hard earned money is confiscated each year and transferred to “the poor”; it hasn’t worked to better the poor at all.
Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965 – they’ve had 44 years to get it right; they are both broke; and now our government dares to mention them as the models for all US health care.
AMTRAK was established in 1970 – they’ve had 39 years to get it right; last year they bailed it out …and it still continues to run at a loss!
This year, a trillion dollars was committed in the massive political payoff called the Stimulus Bill of 2009; it shows NO sign of working. It’s been used to increase the size of governments across America and raise government salaries while the rest of us suffer from economic hardships. It has yet to create a single new private sector job. Added to that is the fact that our national debt projections (approaching $10 trillion) have already increased 400% in the last six months!!
“Cash for Clunkers” was established in 2009 and went broke in 2009…. after 80% of the cars purchased turned out to be produced by foreign companies! And dealers nationwide are buried under bureaucratic paperwork demanded by a government that still is not yet paying them what was promised.
So….. with a perfect 100% failure rate, and a record that proves that each and every “service” shoved down our throats by an over-reaching government turns into disaster, how could any well-informed American trust our government to run or even set policies for America’s health care system – - 17% of our economy?
Maybe…. no, CERTAINLY…. each and every one of us has a personal responsibility to let others in on this brilliant governmental record before the elections in 2010. Then help to remove from office those idiots on BOTH sides of the aisle who are voting to destroy capitalism and destroy our grandchildren’s future! If we do not succeed in turning this government around, the USA will be Socialistic by 2016.
