So in defending socialist medicine, The grand leader points to the post office as an example of a government department that has private competition and that it would be the same with obamacare. His stupidity knows no bounds, instead of proving his point, if you look closely you’ll see that it actually disproves it.

Case in point, I write a letter to my Aunt Bea, put it in an envelope and it is ready to go. how will I get it to her? It is just a personal letter, a hello or happy birthday or some such thing. well the cheapest way would be to put a 44¢ stamp on it walk out to my mailbox throw it in and put up the flag. I can’t provide any hard numbers, but I’m willing to bet that most personal letters and greeting cards are sent US mail, when was the last time you got a letter/card from a friend or relative sent to you via a different method (Fedex, UPS, etc.)? Why is this? cause it is the cheapest and easiest method to send a letter or card (also the fact that the US post office has a monopoly on non urgent cards and letters). Sure, if it is important to you or the recipient that it gets there fast and on time, then you might consider another service, but in the case of a letter or card, the government wins over the private sector.

So the private sector can only deliver urgent letters/cards or packages, this is the only competition the post office has. If you want to mail a package or an urgent letter then you have several companies, there is the USPS, Fedex, UPS, DHL and I’m sure there are others. The USPS is probably the least expensive, but then some say that  it is also the least reliable. so then you can chose a company that suits your needs in either cost or reliability.  So is the big O right? Can the private sector, at least in the case of packages and urgent letters survive against the USPS? In this case, sort of. See the big eared one forgets one thing, he’s comparing FREE healthcare with a service that is not free. You can not take a package to the post office and mail it for free, it will cost you. The USPS runs somewhat like the private sector, it charges for everything to try to make money to continue to operate, and unlike Fedex and other private sector companies, it FAILS to do this. So to compare the two, you would have to imagine that the  USPS was paid for by the taxpayers and was totally free. How well do you think that Fedex and UPS would do if you could mail any package for free at the post office.

Private companies might still be able to survive if the USPS was free, there would be less as the profits wouldn’t sustain as many companies as there are now, but some would survive with same day/next day urgent packages and letters and with packages too big or dangerous for theUSPS to deliver and if they were more reliable then the USPS and things like that. So with free package delivery service from the USPS, I still think that a private sector would be around.

So I guess you are saying to yourself “HA, what a moron, he proved the O’s point, private sector healthcare will survive under socialized healthcare!”. WRONG, now I get to the final look at the USPS vs healthcare… cold hard cash.

Let’s say the post office is free, let’s say there are still private companies that deliver packages. I need a package sent across the country, I need it there fast and reliable. I can send it for free, but it isn’t always reliable and it may not get there on time, so I take it to the other guys. They want $50 (prices might be higher to make up for less quantity) to send the package, but it is much more reliable and it will get there on time. so $50 versus $0. Is it worth $50? I guess it depends on whether I think it is worth it and if I have the money. Am I willing and able to pay the $50? how about if it was $500? $5000? Are you beginning to get my point? Healthcare isn’t a choice of $50, healthcare is a choice of $500 or $5000. You can go to the obamacare clinic and get it free or the private clinic and get it for $500+. do you really think private clinics will survive except for the rich? obamacare will become a single payer healthcare system, it is what BO wants as he has stated several times on video, he can try to cover up the fact, but youtube shows his true intentions.

One final point, yes I know you’re thinking “but it’s free healthcare right?”, Fedex and the others survive against the USPS because they provide better and more reliable service. The USPS is probably one of the better government run operations and people are still willing to pay more to get better reliability, and we are talking here about packages. The post office tries hard to compete because it has competition, if it had none, the speed and reliability would go down. If the post office loses a letter or package, well most anything lost could be replaced, if socialist healthcare loses a life….

Ask yourself one thing, Obama and Congress all use the USPS, why will they not be using socialized medicine?

Yes Hondurans you do, Sadly it seems America has lost it’s balls, with a joke of a man running the country and no one in the media willing to call him on it. He has welcomed amadinnerjacket as the leader of Iran even though he stole the election and welcomes talks with chavez and north korea. Yet when a ruler tries to take over a democratic country as chavez did and the courts order said presidents ouster he refuses to recognize the new democratic leaders that the COURTS put into power, the prick even meets with the former president and is trying to get him back in power. Houduras should tell Obama to go FUCK himself. Obama sides with chavez and ammadinnerjacket and other dictators, maybe the O wants to see if he can pull off a similar move here, there is already a bill out there to do away with the 22nd amendment (H. J. RES. 5). luckily the piece of shit has done so badly in his first 6 months that by 4 years he will hopefully have a hard time getting reelected, sadly the American left is just stupid enough to do anything to get him elected again, no matter how badly he fucks up the country, I’m sure acorn will find enough dead people to vote for obama if they have to, they got al franken elected didn’t they?

One more thing, don’t give me the leftist war cry of ‘racist’, if you don’t know me then fuck off!

OK, well you saw the first one but I thought it wasn’t clear enough and his hair was hard to see so here he is again, bigger and with his VP,  I mean his TP!

(editor’s note: it seems I posted these in reverse order so it appears the crowd is getting smaller rather than larger; sorry about that.)
