George,

The Health Care plan proposed by the Democrats will, according to the Right Wing dominated GOP, lead to a form of euthanasia for older Americans--yes, they really have said that!

Medicare, also opposed, but now reluctantly embraced by the GOP, only covers those Americans over the age of sixty five, and, as far as I can determine, not one senior has been "euthanized" to this date.

In the financial world, past performance should only serve as a guide and not a guarantee of future performance--however, in the world of the Right, now totally in control of the Republicans, past performance is an absolute guaranty of future performance.

As Casey Stengel observed, "you can look it up."
