I know how some of you debunk emails but take this for what's worth.
A Quick History Lesson
The U.S. Post 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.
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 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 as it 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.
Our national debt projections (approaching $10 trillion)
Haveincreased400%inthelastsixmonths.
"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 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 informed American trust our government to run or even
set policies for America's health care system - 17% of our economy?
Maybe each of us has a personal responsibility to let others in on
this brilliant record before 2010, and help remove from office
those who are voting to destroy capitalism and destroy our
grandchildren's future.

You old cracka, you just a racist. You want people to keep dieing in the streets, right under our feet. Just like they are doing right now. I walked over three dead people, and 50 dieing people just this morning while going to work.

You forgot the Congressional cafeteria--sitting right there under their noses it still lost money, had lousy food, lousy service, and had to be sold to a private company to be productive.
It's amazing that libs can't see past their noses, and/or think socialism/communism has never worked just because the right people haven't tried it yet.

Many of the same folks who complain about socialism and communism here at home defend all the cheap import stuff coming from communist China.
The Chinese military budget is 15 percent more this year than it was last year. The Chinese are going to militarily provoke the US in a big time manner, probably with an attack on Taiwan. It is only a matter of time. The communist Chinese have developed a ballistic missile with a conventional warhead that is designed to take out US aircraft carriers.
