Bush’s Report Card, Pt.2 – Parent or Guardians, please respond.

Previous…

Our President IS responsible for the wellbeing of ALL of our population including health insurance and, most certainly, this is the most critical time for our nation to demand that of our next president.  Because we didn’t do that four years ago, this is what we’ve got.  From the 2007 US Census Report:

1) (D -) For the first time, our citizens have suffered a negative economy while our nation ‘appeared’ to have a positive economy. No wonder ordinary people don’t understand economics – our leaders are even more lost. Health insurance is out the door.

2) (D -) 816,000 more of our citizens have fallen into poverty, just in one year. Half a million of then were children! We have now (as of 2007) climbed to a staggering 5.7 million poverty-stricken citizens living in poverty. Shocking report for such a prosperous nation with equal opportunity.

3) 3) (D -) For the first time on record, for the last 7 years our great nation has suffered an ‘economy going backward’. This has taken a great toll in the area of health insurance.

4) 4) (F) 7.2 million more of our citizens had joined the dismal ranks of the 47 million Americans without health insurance. What are we to make of Mr. McCain’s statement that our nation has achieved ‘great progress’? Go figure.

“Dear Parent or Guardian: We are becoming concerned that little George has shown little progress in his work assignments. Particularly troubling, are the areas of leadership, health insurance and other social responsibilities. Perhaps he is confused by the two unassociated definitions given in the Funk & Wagnalls’ for the term ‘leader’. The proper context implied for his responsibilities should have been ‘One who acts as a guiding force’. It appears he has taken the lesser-implied meaning, which says ‘A pipe for draining…’, such as a sewer pipe. We suggest that he be removed from this ‘typical class’ setting and be enrolled in a ‘special’ setting where he can receive tutoring more focused on how to understand a ‘typical class’ environment. Perhaps your health insurance benefits are comprehensive enough to help cover some of the great expense of this challenge.”
