Mr. Obama likes to point to the Veterans’ Administration as a shining example of how efficient the Government can be at medical care.
Right off the bat you get the sense that Government administrative efficiency may be in the eye of the beholder. You don’t have to think very hard and a horror story regarding the VA hospital will come to mind. Do you remember not that long ago some VA administrator had his lap top stolen with the name, address and social security numbers of millions of Veterans?
What program has our Government put in place that has worked out all that well? Let's review:
- The U.S. Post Office. Initiated in 1775, Government has had over 230 years to get it right but now we hear it’s about to fold. In fact “Our Dear Leader” Mr. O says UPS and Fedex, private companies, are the model that should be followed because they are thriving. Notice the Gov. doesn’t run UPS and Fedex? Hmmm.
- Social Security. Initiated in the mid 30’s. How we doing there? Oh,yeah, it's not going to make it either. Our Government has had 70 plus years to get it straightened out and sira-narah baby, the money is gone.
- Fannie Mae. A quick Google search says this program was started in 1938. 71 years to perfect that program and oops, broke’s-ville. Dang, I hope this isn’t a trend because I was sure hoping I could trust the Dems when they said Obama care would be so good for us.
- The War on Poverty. LBJ’s big idea that was going to end poverty once and for all. Yeah, that went well and poverty has been eliminated! Oh wait, that one started in 1964 and well basically fizzled out not doing a darn thing but causing more and more of a welfare state and gave lame-brain politicians the great idea to start other programs like Head Start and Job Corps, both stellar examples of failure. They had 45 years to make “The War on Poverty” work but just can’t seem to make it happen.
- Medicare and Medicaid. Oh boy, do I really even need to point out how this one is going after 44 years? Initiated in 1965 it looks to be in shambles. Mr. Bush tired to wave his Government magic wand and fix these programs and it’s still broke and has just confused the heck out of my mom. Nope, can point to this one as a Government ran program that has lived up to the hype.
I don’t think this is productive and besides it is really kind of depressing that all of these programs will either become absolutely broke, if they aren’t already or some more huge tax will have to be put into place to allow our Government to run them as “efficiently” as they have thus far.
Maybe a closer look at the programs that the current President has put into place will reveal a brighter picture that will show we should trust them with the Health Care program.
- The TARP Bill of 2009. In Mr. Obama’s own words the TARP money was going to “immediately” put money into pockets of Americans and stave off higher unemployment numbers. How we doing? If I remember right unemployment was around 6% and what is it now? 9.7%! Holy Guacamole! What exactly did that almost 800 Trillion do for us any way? Apparently made it possible to give a few bankers some nice bonus’s. Oh, I heard some Senator had a beautiful airport upgraded and put some folks to work but when the project is over all the workers will be in the unemployment line and the upgraded airport will not get very much use because its out in the sticks.
- Cash for Clunkers. Did you buy your new Toyota while that program was in effect? Maybe you went with a brand new Honda instead. America didn’t make out so good on that deal but Japan is mighty grateful. I am not sure, did that program cost us 2 or 4 Billion? Whatever the amount the moneys gone and we can’t say it did much for either pollution or the economy, another nice job by our Government, thanks guys!
There is a line from my favorite movie (The Outlaw Jose Wells):
“Senator, don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining”
Every time I hear Obama and his cronies/czars open their mouth's they are basically telling us “don’t worry it’s just a little rain” and “Oh, by the way, we need the moisture”.
Mr. Obama, quit pissing down my back, its just stinking socialist urine!
Stand up my friends, take to the streets and bring your neighbor with you. We are about to loose our Freedoms at the hands of evil (yes, I said evil and I mean evil), misguided, freedom hating, socialists that think they know better than God Himself what this Country needs.
Remember these words:
”No Nation which has kept the Commandments of God has ever perished, but I say to you that once Freedom is lost, only blood- human blood will win it back”
-Ezra Taft Benson 1979
Let's act now before blood needs to be spilled.
Amen.
