You can read about this mess here if you want but let me spare you grim details and point out the ED SHOW FREE PUBLIC HEALTH CARE CLINIC IN HARTFORD CT. YESTERDAY...YOU KNOW...HARTFORD...THE HOME OF THE INSURANCE COMPANIES.?????
He made a great point in his show yesterday on MSNBC. He asked the question to the politicians "Just what more do you expect our citizens to do?". Great question. We have a horrible health care system. By world standards we are in the high 20s and are being pressed to stay 1st world. Then we have this fighter plane.
Let's talk about the air force for a bit. they have ordered 2400 of these things and TO DO WHAT (read this and weep)? what air force out there can compete with little more than a Piper Cub? Only those which are now our long lasting friends and they only own a few of them. What in the world??? Think about it. We sink billions down defense ratholes every year and there are a couple more in case you haven't been up on your reading, and there is no other air force that can fly....what the Pakistani Air Force? The Iranian Air Force? Good God they buy their spare parts from us.
We have sick and dying in this country because of a health care system that is so broken and so out of whack to the rest of the world as to be a joke and then we spend $150 million on a plane that seemed like a good idea 20 years ago but now has no purpose? Give me a break. Now I'm all mad for the day.
