Oh yeah, the government "runs" the post office, the V.A. and General Motors (now) how are they doing...and as to the V.A., think about the long term care as opposed to the immediate care, and see how well run the V.A. is...

And let the cherry picking begin....again. The post office has always been bad? Really? It was never an integral part of communications in this country? No, actually it was. Fact. Fortunately technological advances are slowly making it obsolete. That doesn't change history. And you want to bring up the V.A.? Really? Part of the veterans care that NOT ONE SINGLE president or congress has EVER properly funded in order to provide for those who are willing to give life, limb and sanity for our country? You want to use THAT as your scapegoat? Private insurers aren't taking care of them either. NOBODY IS. Take your red herring somewhere else. As for G.M......so wait none of the bailout takers are doing well? None? Oh, ok.

and all those wonderful technologies helping our wounded service personnel...not government created...any and all research grant money was taken from taxes on private individuals, who either own, or work in private businesses...

Actual much of it is government created through their agencies, again, like public research univeristies where a very large portion of medical research and invention is done. Saying the money is tax money, doesn't change the fact that many of those things were not and would not be invented by private companies. They are created by government agencies, by government employees with, yup, tax money that would not be used for the same purposes and benefits otherwise. Yup, more facts.
