“When President Roosevelt was working to create Social Security, opponents warned it would open the door to ‘federal snooping’ and force Americans to wear dog tags,” Mr. Obama said. “When President Kennedy and President Johnson were working to create Medicare, opponents warned of ‘socialized medicine.’ Sound familiar?” B.H. Obama

1. Dog tags contain a government issued number and other information issued by the state. Although we do not wear them around our neck your social security card, and the data base it is connect to, is certainly a required document that resides on your person; the difference of location is of little consolation.

2. Government meddling in the free market brought about Medicare. It was a step toward what we are having forced upon us today - socialized medicine. One intervention led to the other which will lead to still others. Weather they are conscious of it or not, they are working toward government control of every aspect of our lives.

Government solutions are not solutions. They are the problem to begin with.

He loses on both points.
