This Might Land in Your Email Box....

I have cleaned up the blasting language a bit, but the point is still the same. I made a huge point on this weeks ago regarding the de-monopolizing of Bell in the mid 80's and how the capitalistic (I know, I realize now that is a bad word) enterprise that telephone technology has been given from that has given us phone services and new technologies we never would have thought possible only 25 years ago. Here is another version of that same point:

To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature,

It is now official you are _______ (I couldn't think of anything appropriate here, so you fill in the blank):

  • The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775 You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.
  • Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.
  • Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.
  • War on Poverty started in 1964. You have 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.
  • Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965.. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.
  • Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have 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. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.

You have failed in every "government service" you have forced upon us while overspending our tax dollars and you want Americans to believe you can be trusted with a government-run health care system?

All should be good now that Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize. I can breathe easier now.
