"TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES"

We have a sick country and we need help. Have we selected the right doctor who will heal us? We made our decision and he is new, young and works at the United States Hospital of We the People.

We are fortunate to have the doctor's attention and his first appointment. We do not feel good and the sooner we find out what is causing us to be sick we will be able to get back to work.

When the young doctor took our temperature he finds that we have a fever pitch of unhappiness and unemployment. As he takes our blood pressure he finds that it is high and off the chart.

During our appointment and interview he asks the question "What are your symptoms?" As we ponder the question we disclose that some of our symptoms are unemployment, the auto industry is not producing cars, businesses are failing unable to compete with foreign markets, people are not paying it's debt and we have a depressed market.

The doctor immediately lets us know that we have a serious problem and will be placed in the United States Hospital of We the People until we can find out how we can treat the symptoms.

In the mean time the doctor prescribes a spending stimulus package which he hopes will bring down the high pressure. He is quick to find out that the pressure does not subside.

The doctor tells us that we may be in the care of the hospital for a long time.

We raise the question and advise the doctor that we do not have health insurance to pay the bill. The doctor is quick to tell us not to worry because we have Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation which will bail us out if we can not pay.

We are now in the United States Hospital of We the People. As we look closely at the truth we see that the hospital for a long time has been controlled and financed by foreign investors.

We have had x-rays, blood tests, and examinations by the hospital's best technicians.

Some of the lab technicians wanted you to treat the symptoms and some recommended that you treat the cause. Why are you not treating the cause? Are you afraid that if treat the cause that the hospital may not let you practice at the hospital?

The nurse who is speaker of the hospital tried to read our chart.

Immediately she told us that our industrial average is down again today. You have something that indicates the existence of something else or subjective evidence of disease or physical disturbance. We quickly let the nurse know that," She just read Webster's definition of the word symptom". We ask why are you just treating
