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 patsy: 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?
20% of our entire economy?
With all due respect,
Are you out of your frickin’ minds?

Not at all. You're simply mistaking the goal. Think of all the people who proposed and implemented these plans. How did they, personally, end up? Answer that and you'll see they are not crazy. The people who vote for them, well, that's a different question.
Without question, the ruling elites and their support troops have done very well, but the answer is to the question posed at the end of the piece, "... you [congress] want Americans to believe you can be trusted with a government-run health care system?" and IMO they are out of their minds to think we'll buy it.
I say that even though a large portion of yesterday was spent in the ER at the local hospital. I may do a post on that ordeal later.
What I think is that the American Street won't buy it, but will vote the people who ripped them off with it back in to office.
On this we are in total agreement. People vote on name recognition, not on connecting the dots.
As it happens, it looks like TARP is going to, at the very least, break even.
Other than that, though ...
They learned from TARP. The rest of the stimulus isn't so easy to give back.
