Dad's Generation -To put things in perspective
"During the 3-1/2 years of World War 2 that started
with the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in
December 1941 and ended with the Surrender of
Germany in 1945 and then Japan, the U.S. produced; 22
aircraft carriers, 8 battleships, 48 cruisers, 349
destroyers, 420 destroyer escorts, 203 submarines,
34 million tons of merchant ships, 100,000 fighter
aircraft, 98,000 bombers, 24,000 transport aircraft,
58,000 training aircraft, 93,000 tanks, 257,000 artillery
pieces, 105,000 mortars, 3,000,000 machine guns,
and 2,500,000 military trucks.
We put 16.1 million men in uniform in the various
armed services, invaded Africa, invaded Sicily and
Italy, won the battle for the Atlantic, planned and
executed D-Day, then marched across Europe and sailed through the Pacific all the way to Japan, developed the atomic bomb and ultimately
conquered Germany and Japan.
It's worth noting, that during the almost exact amount
of time, the Obama administration couldn't build a
functioning web site."

I see the CBO announced today that about 2 million workers will be pushed out of the labor market due to Obamacare by 2017 which is up from the 800,000 it estimated in 2011.
Then there’s also the study out from the liberal Brookings Institution that finds Obamacare will increase the income of Americans in the lowest 20 percent but all others will face a decline in income.
We needed a change in our healthcare system but a massive overhaul by a select few with the backing of a majority of politicians that never read the law was not the way to fix something.

Rationing anyone? This story is sad on its own but what really caught my eye is the really hateful comments. tinyurl.com/mk7jkd7I must admit that I have said or at least thought some of those very things.

I have a feeling this thread could turn into a real rival for the bat$hitbirther thread. At least this one would be somewhat on topic.
