Some Very Interesting Statistics - 


       
     

A recent "Investor's Business  Daily" article provided very interesting
Statistics from a survey  by the United Nations International  Health Organization. Percentage of men and women  who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:

I  don't know about you, but I don't want "Universal Healthcare"  comparable to England or Canada .

VERY INTERESTING! The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had
Worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.  You know what the private business sector is...  A real life business, not a government job. Here are the percentages.

Taft.....................  40%
Wilson  ............... 52%
Harding.................49%
Coolidge.............. 48%
Hoover................. 42%
F. Roosevelt......... 50%
Truman................. 50%
Eisenhower...........57%
Kennedy..............  30%
Johnson............... 47%
Nixon.................... 53%
Ford.....................  42%
Carter...................  32%
Reagan.................  56%
GH  Bush.............. 51%
Clinton ................. 39%
GW Bush.............  55%

And  the winner of the Chicken  Dinner is..............Obama.................8%  !!!

Yep! That's right! Only Eight percent!!!..the least  by far of the last 18
Presidents!! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business? They know what's best for GM...Chrysler... Wall Street... And you and  me?

How can the president of a major nation and  society...the one with the most successful economic system  in world history... Stand and talk about business when he's never  worked for one?.. Or about jobs when he has never really had one??! And neither has 92% of his senior staff and  closest advisers..! They've
Spent most of their time in  academia, government and/or non-profit jobs....or as "community  organizers" ..when they should have been in an employment line.
