Doesn't sound like America

Let's think about this for just a moment. The government's Cash for Clunkers program was funded with $1 billion. It was running for just a short time and they told us the program needed $2 billion additional dollars.

Give the government a chance to run health care for the whole nation and believe me there is no opportunity for you to "opt out." How long will it be until that program needs a 200 percent infusion of cash? HR3200 says $1 trillion dollars to start with, then what? The numbers are mind-boggling and the truth has not yet been told.

Read the House bill HR3200 and decide for yourself. It's only 1,017 pages. Health care will be rationed - it's in the bill. There will be a health choices commissioner to determine your benefits - it's in the bill. ACORN will be paid to sign people up for this new program - it's in the bill. And finally on page 59: The federal government will have direct, real-time access to all individual bank accounts for electronic funds transfer. You will pay whether you want to or not.

I don't know about you, but this doesn't sound like America to me.
