The Truth and Problems with Government Running Business

Today in a town hall meeting conducted by President Obama, he stated that AARP has endorsed the governments health care plan. In fact the AARP HAS NOT endorsed any government proposal. The AARP issued a statement:
"While the President was correct that AARP will not endorse a health care reform bill that would reduce Medicare benefits, indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate."
In another part of the town hall speech where President Obama says private industry can compete with the government, he uses an analogy of FedEx and UPS competing with the post office. President Obama states,
"UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. It's the Post Office that's always having problems"...


So now we have a government that can't run the post office, they can't run cash for clunkers, can't run social security. I think voters should be getting the picture.

We do not need government trying to run the entire health care system.

And You Want The Government Running Health Care?

  • Wasteful transportation spending. "The Highway Trust Fund -- created in 1956 to maintain the country's highways and bridges -- allocated $2 billion to preserve 5,547 facilities for pedestrians and bicyclists, including $878,000 for a pedestrian and bicycle bridge for a Minnesota town of 847 people."
  • Cash for clunkers program to be suspended. Government has backlog of refunds so does not know amount of the $1 billion program that has been spent. Can you image what they will do with health care: suspend all surgeries for a week!
Contact your representative during August and tell them to vote no on the health care bill!
