Here are some of the reasons the American people are clammoring for the government to enact health care legislation:1. The government has done such an outstanding job with Social Security that they have demonstrated their ability to run a comprehensive health care program.
What? What's that you say? Social Security is broke and faltering? There is NO "Social Security 'trust fund'?"
Well, never mind that one...let's move on.
2..The government has done such an outstanding job with Medicare that they have demonstrated their ability to run a comprehensive health care program.
What? What's that you say? Medicare is broke and faltering?
Well, never mind that one...let's move on.
3. The government has done such an outstanding job with Amtrack that they have demonstrated their ability to run a comprehensive health care program.
What? What's that you say? Amtrack is broke and faltering?
Well, never mind that one...let's move on.
4. The government has done such an outstanding job with buying into Chrystler Corporation that they have demonstrated their ability to run a comprehensive health care program.
What? What's that you say? The Chrystler Corporation is broke and faltering?
Well, never mind that one...let's move on.
5. The government has done such an outstanding job with lowering the deficit that they have demonstrated their ability to run a comprehensive health care program.
What? What's that you say? The deficit is more than 4.5 times as bad as it was when President BO took office?
Well, never mind that one...let's move on.
6. The government has done such an outstanding job with swine flu vaccinations that they have demonstrated their ability to run a comprehensive health care program.
What? What's that you say? Swine flu vaccines has been delivered late to every venue to which it was actually delivered, always fewer shots than they promised and to some venues never delivered at all?
Well, never mind that one...let's move on.
7. The government has done such an outstanding job with bank bail-outs that they have demonstrated their ability to run a comprehensive health care program.
What? What's that you say? Banks have been failing at an unprecidented rate?
Well, never mind that one...let's move on.
8. The government has done such an outstanding job with unemployment (by creating new jobs and saving existing jobs) that they have demonstrated their ability to run a comprehensive health care program.
What? What's that you say? Unemployment has risen under President BO's leadership? Unemployment is higher than the 8% it was promised it would never rise above? Unemployment is at 10%? There is no way to measure the so-called jobs saved?
Well, never mind that one...let's move on.
9. The government has done such an outstanding job with transparancy and openness that they have demonstrated their ability to run a comprehensive health care program.
What? What's that you say? The government has completed more business behind closed doors than at any time in the history of America?
Well, never mind that one...let's move on.
10. The government has done such an outstanding job with the war in Afghanistan that they have demonstrated their ability to run a comprehensive health care program.
What? What's that you say? The war in Afghanistan has faltered at best and at worst is likely to become another Vietnam?
Well, never mind that one...let's move on.
Maybe, just maybe, trusting the government to run the country's health care is not such a good idea after all.
Better get busy and tell your Senators. They still seem to think it's a good idea.

Oh, Joe....what ARE Americans thinking? What's the proof gov't will do well? And since WHEN do we have a president who says "FOR PROFIT" as if it's a bad thing?
The anti insurance company harangue is so singularly STUPID, showing they understand NOTHING of American free market and success that it's positively frightening...
HELP!
Z: What I hope is that Americans actually HAVE begun thinking...about our roots; about our heritage; about our Constitution, etc. If that comes out of the BO Presidency, then it will have done one good thing.
Oh, if only they would quit trying to succeed. :0)
bryan: Maybe if we could just sit down with President BO and the congress and engage i diplomacy with them they would wake up and all change their minds simultaneously.
Joe, You are so right. Since the chosen one has been in office I just hold my breath from one day to the next, wondering what will be psssed today that chips away at our individual freedoms. and It continues....Fire the whole bunch....without pensions....AND HEALTH CARE......stay well......
Bro. Joe,
I had a great comment to add to what you said, but you said it so well yourself, that...Well, never mind that one...let's move on.
You forgot the post office. I'm sure there are lots more too. Just sad.
Tapline: Our freedoms, as we have known them, are on the way out. It was a good ride, but it's over, I'm afraid.
David Wyatt: Moving on is a good idea.
Janie Lynn: I treid very hard to forget the Post Office. You're right, though, there are many others.
