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?

VA Awards Employees While Vets Suffer
The VA has been doling out monetary awards to employees over the past several years while Veterans can’t even get decent care in the delapitated hospitals. CNN reports that “A report issued by the VA’s Office of Inspector General said the department issued millions of dollars in awards over a two-year period in 2007 and 2008.”
The most sickening details a mid level manager in charge of writing checks was taking $60,000 in bonuses for herself while pushing through over $140,000 for tuition reimbursement for her own family according to the VA Inspector General office.
What really makes me angry as a veteran is that service members who need the assistance of the VA stand in lines, shuffle miles of paperwork and get that we are the government and control you attitude from these same people. How much red tape and denials do our Veterans go through just to get additional training when they need it for employement? Then they are working at jobs that maybe, just maybe if they are lucky pay $60,00o per year! 65% of the Veteran claims for benefits are in backlog.
We need change in this country and it is up to us. This government is dying on vine due to the leaches who work in it and fill the offices in congress. It is still barely in our hands. American citizens who love this country need to turn them out. Vote against anyone who is all ready in government and replace them with your neighbors or yourself before they initiate changes that prevent even our votes from counting.
