Wonder why the last few years are somewhat screwed up?
There are actually two messages here. The first is very
interesting, but the second is absolutely astounding - and explains a lot.
A recent “Investor’s Business Daily” article provided very
interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International
Health Organization.

treatment within six months:

England 15%
Canada 43%
Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it
within six months:
U.S. 90%
England 15%

Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are

Check this last set of statistics!!
The percentage of each past president’s cabinet who had worked
in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.
You know what the private business sector is a real-life business, not a
government job. Here are the percentages.
T. Roosevelt.................... 38%
Taft................................... 40%
Wilson ........................... 52%
Harding............................ 49%
Coolidge......................... 48%
Hoover............................. 42%
F. Roosevelt................... 50%
Truman............................ 50%
Eisenhower................ .... 57%
Kennedy.......................... 30%
Johnson.......................... 47%
Nixon............................... 53%
Ford................................ 42%
Carter.............................. 32%
Reagan........................... 56%
GH Bush.......................... 51%
Clinton .......................... 39%
GW Bush......................... 55%
Obama..................... 8%
This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration:
only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!
That’s right! Only eight percent-—the least, by far, of the
last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big
corporations how to run their business?
How can the president of a major nation and society, the one
with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk
about business when he’s never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has
never really had one? And when it’s the same for 92% of his senior staff
and closest advisers? They’ve spent most of their time in academia,
government and/or non-profit jobs or as “community organizers.” They should
have been in an employment line.
The previous reply was received via e-mail...over the transom as it were.
They are not incompetent; they are very close to achieving their goals.
