With the highest PERSONAL debt of any nation BY FAR ( 18 000 PER PERSON ) Americans are literally broke. If it were not for credit, there would be catastrophe. Last year was the first year where individual saving DECLINED since the depression meaning people were digging into saving to sustain.
As for being a poor nation, take NY. NOTHING substantial has been built in over 30 years by the US goverment with YOUR tax money. The last project was the Verrazano Bridge in 1973. Wonder why the traffic is tremendous?
I guess people in the US don;t mind their taxes being stolen for the purpose of making Bush and friends rich via "rebuilding" Iraq and the war on "terror". The twin towers cost 4 billion. Bush could have BOUGHT Iraq and Saddam and won the love of the planet...but that wouldn't make him and his buddies anywhere as rich
Just look at US cities. They certainly speak for themselves: poor and decayed.

Subject: PARKLAND MEMORIAL HOSPITAL/DALLAS




If you want to verify accuracy: http://www.snopes.com/politics/immigration/parkland.asp

When have we had enough?

Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas is a fairly famous institution and for a variety of reasons:

1. John F. Kennedy died there in 1963
2. Lee Harvey Oswald died there shortly after
3. Jack Ruby-who killed Lee Harvey Oswald, died there a few years later..by coincidence

"On the flip side, Parkland is also home to the second busiest maternity ward in the country with almost 16,000 new babies arriving each year. (That's almost 44 per day---every day)

A recent patient survey indicated that 70 percent of the women who gave birth at Parkland in the first three months of 2006 were illegal immigrants. That"s 11,200 anchor babies born every year just in Dallas . According to the article, the hospital spent $70.7 million delivering 15,938 babies in 2004 but managed to end up with almost $8 million dollars in surplus funding. Medicaid kicked
in $34.5 million, Dallas County taxpayers kicked in $31.3 million and the feds tossed in another $9.5 million.

The average patient in Parkland 's maternity wards is 25 years old, married and giving birth to her second child. She is also an illegal immigrant. By law, pregnant women cannot be denied medical care based on their immigration status or ability to pay.

OK, fine. That doesn't mean they should receive better care than everyday, middle-class American citizens. But at Parkland Hospital, they do.

"Parkland Memorial Hospital has nine prenatal clinics. NINE.

The Dallas Morning News article followed a Hispanic woman who was a patient at one of the clinics and pregnant with her third child---her previous two were also born at Parkland. Her first two deliveries were free and the Mexican native was grateful because it would have cost $200 to have them in Mexico. This time, the hospital wants her to pay $10 per visit and $100 for the delivery but she was unsure if she could come up with the money. Not that it matters, the hospital won't turn her away. (I wonder why they even bother asking at this point.)

"How long has this been going on? What are the long-term affects?

Well, another subject of the article was born at Parkland in 1986 shortly after her mother entered the U.S. illegally---now she is having her own child there as well. (That's right, she's technically a U.S. citizen.) These women receive free prenatal care including medication, nutrition, birthing classes and child care classes. They also get freebies such as car seats, bottles, diapers and formula.

Most of these things are available to American citizens as well but only for low-income applicants and even then, the red tape involved is almost insurmountable.

Because these women are illegal immigrants, they do not have to provide any sort of legitimate identification---no proof of income. An American citizen would have to provide a social security number which would reveal their annual income---an illegal immigrant need only claim to be poor and the hospital must take them at their word.

"My husband is a pilot for the United States Navy (yes, he fought in Iraq ) and while the health care is good, we Navy wives don't get any of these perks! Car seats? Diapers? Not so much. So my question is this: Does our public medical care system treat illegal immigrants better than American citizens? Yes it does!

As I mentioned, the care I have received is perfectly adequate but it's bare bones, meat and potato medical care---not top of line.

Their (the illegals) medical care is free---simply because they are illegal immigrants? Once again, there is no way to verify their income.

Parkland Hospital offers indigent care to Dallas County residents who earn less than $40,000 per year. (They also have to prove that they did not refuse health coverage at their current job. Yeah, the 'free' care is not so easy for Americans.)

There are about 140 patients who received roughly $4 million dollars for un-reimbursed medical care. As it turns out, they did not qualify for free treatment because they resided outside of Dallas County So the hospital is going to sue them! Illegals get it all free! But U.S citizens who live outside of Dallas County get sued! How stupid is this?

As if that isn't annoying enough, the illegal immigrant patients are actually complaining about hospital staff not speaking Spanish. In this AP story, the author speaks with a woman who is upset that she had to translate comments from the hospital staff into Spanish for her husband. The doctor was trying to explain the situation to the famy and the mother was forced to translate for her husband who only spoke Spanish. This was apparently a great injustice to her.

In an attempt to create a Spanish-speaking staff, Parkland Hospital is now providing incentives in the form of extra pay for applicants who speak Spanish. Additionally, medical students at the University of Texas Southwestern for which Parkland Hospital is the training facility will now have a Spanish language requirement added to their already jammed-packed curriculum. No other school in the country boasts such a ridiculous multi-semester (multicultural) requirement.


PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERY US CITIZEN YOU KNOW.

They go around claiming that John Edwards and Hilary Clinton voted for the Iraq war, when they actually voted to give Bush the authority to wage war if necessary.
The UN weapons inspections were working there was no need to go to war, but Bush wanted vengeance, so war was not necessary.
BTW, how did that 2006 election work out for the Republican stooges of Bush?

I know that "Nation Building" in the Middle East is important to Republicans and Muslims, but can't we do some nation building here in America too? Or would that make the National Debt too large?

I also wonder if we had spent 300 Billion on research and development into alternative fuels or mass transportation we would have been batter off?

If you hate America, please explain why you hate America, If you dont hate America, simply say No, I do not hate America.
It will bring about a clarification of many things. I, and many of us am sure, can arrive at a percentage of YES and NO.

I understand there are only 7 or so NGOs with official status to the United Nations from India for example, and a limited number from each country.

How prestigious is an NGO in actuality? Is it hard to become one, is the process detailed?

is it generally considered a great mark for an institution?

Does it mean they were doing pretty good?

the Democratic Alliance of Orange County, attorney, Stephen Bergstein, said the military gets too much respect: "No other institution in our society enjoys the deference that the military establishment enjoys," he said.



Shame on him and shame on anyone who votes for Democrats.

$3.49 here in Wisconsin. And how is it effecting your income. I am getting financially strained and tired of the media saying people just are not willing to cut back. I have cut back just about as far as I can. Driving less, skimping on groceries, the next thing to go will be my internet service.
