Interesting Stats on Healthcare

[DiveDeepSix]

Check this last set of statistics!!

Below is 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."

and on top of that he has a good chance on getting re elected due to splitting the country in half and creating class envy...

Is this Obamacare just a waste of time? If we are all going to be stacked in human housing high-rises with agenda 21 wont there be nurses stations in all our buildings?

I just had a conversation with a Canadian friend who recently had

surgery.....He confirms the statistics in this article.
