America Lost and What Happened?
I kind of turn into Andy Rooney when I try to figure out what they are trying to accomplish with universal health care. They say they want to provide coverage to those who don’t have it. However, it seems that those who do have it will pay for it. A public option so the government can compete with private business is a main stay for the Democratic party. Seems like government owned business is a lot like socialism. I have heard several politicians say we need a little socialism. I really don’t understand that because we are the only country that has been an economic power house since the 1940’s. Our country was built on Independence not socialism. I think its time we got back the the principals of Indendence.
It appears to me that the government is really bad at running anything. Medicare is trillions of dollars in debt. Social Security has been robbed from for decades and who knows what will happen when all the baby boomers retire. The government can no longer win a war or win the peace in foreign nations. They can’t even protect our troops from a Muslim terrorist in their own ranks.
In my opinion the government no longer can function to do the duties it was assigned in our Constitution. There is a two party system that is 98.9% lawyers who continually pass laws and spend money that is not there to spend.
Yes, it seems like America is Lost but I do know what happened. We the people have never instituted term limits and the same idiots who made this mess keep getting sent back to do more damage. When is enough enough for the majority of American people? Will we just sit idle as our country goes down in the dust?

American legend dies
Walter Cronkite died of cerebral vascular disease at his home today. For a change this is one high profile celebrity that they had been very open about his sickness. His family made it known that he was very sick and his condition is not going to improve. That doesn’t take away any of the pain of losing this 92 years old American news icon. Millions of Americans ended their day five days a week watching Walter Cronkite.
