Broke

One of Don Surber's readers writes:
The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775 - you [the government] have had 234 years to get it right; it is broke.

Social Security was established in 1935 - you have had 74 years to get it right; it is broke.

Fannie Mae was established in 1938 - you have had 71 years to get it right; it is broke.

War on Poverty started in 1964 - you have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to “the poor”; it hasn’t worked.

Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965 - you’ve had 44 years to get it right; they’re broke

Freddie Mac was established in 1970 - you have had 39 years to get it right; it is broke
