Check the last set of statistics!!
Will make you sick.
A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.
Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:
U.S. 65%
England 46%
Canada 42%
Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:
U.S. 93%
England 15%
Canada 43%
Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:
U.S. 90%
England 15%
Canada 43%
Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:
U.S. 77%
England 40%
Canada 43%
Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:
U.S. 71
England 14
Canada 18
Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in "excellent health":
U.S. 12%
England 2%
Canada 6%
I don't know about you, but I don't want "Universal Healthcare" comparable to England or Canada .
Moreover, it was Sen. Harry Reid who said, "Elderly Americans must learn to accept the inconveniences of old age."
SHIP HIM TO CANADA OR ENGLAND !
He is "elderly" himself but be sure to remember his health insurance is different from yours as Congress has their own high- end coverage! He will never have to learn to accept "inconveniences"!!!
AND THE WINNER IS VERY INTERESTING!
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%
And the winner of the Chicken Dinner is:
Obama................ 8% !!!
This alone can explain the incompetence of this administration....!!!!! 8 %
Yep! 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? They know what's best for GM...Chrysler... Wall Street... and you and me?
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 neither has 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" when they should have been in an employment line.
Just in case you have not seen these interesting statistics:
May want to pass this on, we will NEVER see it in the main street media!!!
Cheers, Vince

Not to worry boys, it's in the bag. I'm betting on it and so are the sun, the moon and the stars. I'm passin you the bottle PauliePaulS, I'm high on bein alive.
I've been deer hunting Bushsterson, so I have to catch up or shut up an you know I can't shut up. I threw in the fish tease that backfired on PaulS thinkin I'd been drinkin (like a fish).
No deer for me this year, I"m bummed.

Suz, c'mon up here to WA. and I'll get my brother to put you up for a couple of days to get your deer. We have 100 acres of private land in NE WA. - lots of white-tails but a shortage of women up there......
It is loaded with rednecks but my brother is more of a hunter than a redneck. After all he puts up with me.
Thanks for the drink!
