Ohhhhhhh, please. That was a pretty childish and sarcastic remark and well beneath you.

FYI....a reminder: While discussing National Health Care, or anything else.

U.S. Constitution - Preamble

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.


The only real DIRECTIVE here is to provide for the comon defence.....and that includes not only our Military and those that support them, but the firefighters and policemen as well. OF COURSE, we need some Federal Employees, State Employees, and Municipal Employees. The question really is, do the Government various Departments we currently have fit into the US Constitution? Do the various Entitlements we have put into place fit into the US Constitution?

In the 1970 census, we had a population in the US of 203.3 Million people. The Census Bureau time clock as of tonight suggests we have about 307.3 Million. ( I just looked these numbers up tonight.) This is an increase of about 104 Million people, or about 1/3 more than we had nearly 40 years ago.

Did the number of Federal workers shrink percentage-wise, or did it grow? If so, by what percent? And how many of those employees supported the Entitlements the Government has already created...?

These numbers would be even before the advent of another HUGE Government entitlement program.
