An example of one of my early political “coloring” illustrations:

Medicaid and Medicare were created on July 30, 1965, through Title XIX of the Social Security Act. I’m sure there have been other factors since the time of the 1951 hospital bill (for my delivery, and my mother and my hospital stay) shown here, but I’ll leave writing about those factors to those who have a research staff.

(My sister-in-law speculated that the $2.50 anesthetic agent amounted to a nurse hitting mom over the head with a hammer.)

Today it costs more than $100 to walk into the hospital and say hi to a doctor. Somehow I doubt that another bloated, fraud-ridden government bureaucracy is going to make hospital costs any less. Then there’s the issue of how many of us will be means-tested out of existence because our value is determined to be less than the cost to treat us.

Regardless, it’s obvious that I was a bargain! I was brought into this world at a WalMart price 11 years before Sam Walton conceived his company. I’d like to think that my worth has appreciated a bit since 1951. I pray that I’ll continue to have the health care options necessary for me to continue to reflect that value. In other words, unless government health care means that everyone gets the same health coverage as do members of congress, forget about it!

Thanks to the founder of the Weather Channel and 29,999 other scientists (9,000 of them with PhDs), Al Gore is being sued over his globAL warming religion.

Today I’m suggesting some recent articles that I thought you’d find informative. The articles deal with the [fail] Obama, ACORN man’s failing policies and distortions; news on how the extreme left-wing, state-run media treats conservatives and furthers the liberal agenda; and commentary on a bitter failing late-night talk show host’s supposed jokes (aka the David Letterman and Sarah Palin controversy).

“Every dollar that the [zombies in] government takes is one less dollar of freedom for you and one more dollar of power for them.”

Watch Andrew Klavin’s video to see why he likens politicians in Washington to zombies and what he means by his Night of the Living Dead metaphor for how they operate:
