FLAT BROKE

To Congress:




The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775 - you have had 234 years to get it right; it is broke.



Social Security was established in 1935 - you have had 74 years to get it right; it is broke.



Fannie Mae was established in 1938 - you have had 71 years to get it right; it is broke.



The "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"; it hasn't worked and our entire country is broke.



Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965 - you've had 44 years to get it right; they are broke.



Freddie Mac was established in 1970 - you have had 39 years to get it right; it is broke.



Trillions of dollars were spent in the massive political payoffs called TARP, the "Stimulus", the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009... none show any signs of working, although ACORN appears to have found a new bitch: the American taxpayer.

And finally, to set a new record:



"Cash for Clunkers" was established in 2009 and went broke in 2009! It took good dependable cars (that were the best some people could afford) and replaced them with high-priced and less-affordable cars, mostly Japanese. A good percentage of the profits went out of the country. And the American taxpayers take the hit for Congress' generosity in burning three billion more of our dollars on failed experiments.



So with a perfect 100% failure rate and a record that proves that "services" you shove down our throats are failing faster and faster, you want Americans to believe you can be trusted with a government-run health care system?

15% of our entire economy?

With all due respect,

Are you out of your minds?

Unfortunately, that was the plan. The Progressives have accomplished their goal. In about fifty years we have gone to the most powerful industrial nationon Earth to a complete welfare state.

I'm reminded of a documentary that I saw about Puerto Rico about thirty years ago. There was a building site of a multi story Hotel. They were inteviewing the Builder and asked about the Puertican Construction workers. The Builder pointed out that the construction workers were from the Virgin Islands and were not Puerto Ricans. The Reporter was surprised and said, why is that, we have a high unemployment rate in Puerto Rico. The Builder replied, since they introduced welfare in Puerto Rico, they won't work.

There's plenty of that going on here in the good ole USA...too much actually. Its part of the hidden story of these unemployment numbers we keep hearing about...some of them are just people who are generational in their dependence on welfare...they have ABSOLUTELY NO INTENTION of getting a job, no matter how many are available...I know things are bad for trying to find work, I live in Michigan where they ARE THE WORST, so no one can say I dont have a clue about unemployment,...BUT I have also known and lived where people would RATHER DRAW A SMALLER CHECK just so they dont have to get up and go to a job...very sad. AND, before you get all riled up Rufus, we arent talking about the disabled, handicapped, etc...we are talking about the sorryasses that wouldnt hit a lick at a snake if it was curling up to strike.
