I was just watching Glen Beck interview an English politician and I learned an astonishing fact: the UK’s National Health Service is the third largest employer in the world with 1.2 million employees, most of whom are administrators. The number one employer is the Red Army and the second is the Indian National Railroad. The UK, based on my rather hasty research, has approximately 5% the population we have here in the US.

If the US nationalized health care system were to become as bloated as the one across the pond, we’d have over 23.5 million workers. Of course, they would all be Federal employees, and members of the SEIU and other similar unions. Now that is a substantial voting block beholden to the party of the hard left. With other nationalizations sure to follow, I feel sure that that a captive and beholden constituency can be created to guarantee the Democrats a permanent majority.
