The economy, high oil prices, and the mortgage mess understandably have people concerned. Whats not so understandable is what seems to be a new found faith in government. Led by chants of hope, change, and yes we can this misplaced faith might be gaining strength. With major news media outlets clearly in the tank for Obama, the good sense of the American people is all that stands in the way of the Obamessiah.If you read that last line and immediately felt your eyes narrow and began gritting your teeth read on Im talking to you.
Without even getting into the specifics of Obamas plans, consider the following;
social security is on the verge of bankruptcy
medicare is $53 trillion in debt. yeah thats trillion with a T and twelve zeros
over 4000 pork projects in the last transportation bill
These are just a few examples of what our government has done for us. Thanks guys! Heres more;
UPS/FedEx deliver 23 million packages world wide everyday and their customers can track those packages from any computer in the world. Our government cant track a social security number that has been used illegally 42 times. FEMA could not explain why a truckload of bottled water destined for New Orleans after Katrina, ended up in Maine. The government almost never completes any project, be it a road, a bridge, a dam, or housing project either on time or on budget.
Now why would anyone trust our government with something as important as healthcare? Why do people all of a sudden believe the government can fix global warming? Who in their right mind would put these responsibilities in the hands of a man whos biggest accomplishment is being in the senate for 18 months? To many people have let their desire for change blind them to the reality of Obama. Lets "hope" if elected his "change" wont end with... oops I guess we cant.
