Startling Statistics - Post these graphs everywhere.

http://defendingthepublicgood.org /

And a very good read too...

<snip>

For Republican presidential candidates the phrase American Exceptionalism has taken on almost talismanic qualities. Newt Gingrich�s new book is titled, A Nation Like No Other: Why American Exceptionalism Matters. �American the Exceptional� is the title of a chapter in Sarah Palin�s book America by Heart.

DON'T MISS THE GRAPHS!!!!

1. Like the part about Swiss and medical bills...

Reid: How many people in Switzerland go bankrupt because of medical bills?
Swiss President Pascal Couchepin: Nobody. It doesn�t happen. It would be a huge scandal if it happens.

The American Exceptional ism is making you pay!

6. Great post!

We did well in the Gilded Era of the 19th Century because we had lots of undeveloped land and other resources.

Unfortunately, there is no more land to homestead.

And we have given away nearly all of our industrial capacity.
