No More Government Programs

I want you to show me, if you can, ONE government run program that couldn’t be run more effectively at half the cost by the private sector.

Somewhere along the line we lost the will to take care of ourselves and the career politicians rushed to fill the void. They make more of us dependent upon them with every new program.

If you had invested the money they took from you for Social Security over the years you’d have done a hell of a lot better even if you placed it in government bonds. A number of years ago a group in the Houston Texas area somehow broke away from the Social Security System and started their own retirement program. Their monthly payments to retirees runs three to four times greater than current Social Security payments. We won’t even mention the fact that they spent the surplus when we had a lot more people paying into the system for every one receiving payments. Politicians can’t stand to see money just sitting there and earning interest when it can perpetuate their time in office. Now that the system is facing bankruptcy because of their misappropriation of our funds that want to raise our taxes or lower payments to retirees, Some Program.

They have to use the money in their Food Stamp program to advertise to get people to apply so they can use all the available funds and ask for an increase next year.

They just had to establish an unconstitutional Department of Education shortly before our education system stopped educating our children, The more money we pore into the current system the dumber our kids come out of the system.

Their War on Poverty has been about as successful as their War on Drugs. They destroyed the Black Family by paying unmarried young women more for each child they had without a male income earning member in the household, Great idea huh? If Medicare and Medicaid are an example of how our governments run medical insurance programs we shouldn’t want any part of a government managed Universal Health Care program. Both systems are a mess, blatant fraud is rampant, regulations are incomprehensible, unfair and unmanageable. I would like to see a National Health Care program managed by a private sector presented as an alternative.

The Federal Drug Administration is a mess, it shouldn’t take 15 years and $20 million plus to introduce a new drug, the system has to be streamlined. I also object to their strict limitations on the number of terminal patients they allow to participate trial programs on promising new drugs and procedures. In an associated subject, the current Regulations on Organ Donations cannot be defended with any level of common sense or logic. Walter E. William's has a great suggestion, allow individuals to permit their families to sell their organs, tax free, at the time of their death. I don’t know about you but they can have anything of mine that still works,

I’ve just scratched the surface, but you get the idea. The same crazies that point to the tapping the cell phones of terrorists and their contacts as a loss of liberty push the government to ban smoking, transfats and to declare a War On Obesity. Go Figure
