Our inspired Founding Fathers established the greatest country in the world, as follows:
The Declaration of independence — five pages.
The Constitution of the United States — 11 pages.
Amendments to the Constitution — nine pages.
Twenty-five pages! Yet we have a 1,500-page bill, mostly unread by our politicians, being pushed as our health-care bill. A simple solution is to give all legal citizens the same health care the president and Congress receive, at the same cost.
Too simple.
It will never happen.
