I sure HOPE so!
It's a lot of these DAMNED 'institutions' that have sapped our strength!
a. The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775. You have had 240 years to get it right and it is broke.
b. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 80 years to get it right and it is broke.
c. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 77 years to get it right and it is broke.
d. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 51 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only wantmore.
e. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 50 years to get it right and they are broke.
f. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 45 years to get it right and it is broke.
g. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 38 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.
