The following is a copy of a letter that a good friend of mine sent to his congressional representative.  It is with his permission that I post this letter.  He makes a very valid and poignant point!

An Open Letter 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 have had 44 years to get it right; it is 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 a new source; the American taxpayer.

Finally, to set a new record: “Cash for Clunkers” was established in 2009 and went broke in 2009! It took 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 the “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?  (That is) 20% of our entire economy?

With all due respect, are you crazy?
