Government spending vs. health care

  Well, here we go. 
  Tax cheat Geithner is saying we spend too much money. He's also saying Obama came into office with a deficit of over a trillion dollars. This is not true.
  Reminder: there was a deficit. It was 450 billion dollars left by Bush.
  In addition, democrats have been in charge of Congress since 2008. Congress determines the budget (or don't determine it, as in this year, when they don't want you to find out how deeply in debt we really are so they didn't bother to pass a budget). 
  Yet the democrats take no responsibility for the tremendous debts we have incurred.


  In addition, Obama is printing money like crazy...2-3 times the amount that was in circulation when he came into office. 
  The stimulus hasn't worked. 
  Unemployment is over 9%. 
  Many of the jobs "created" by the stimulus were created at great cost, some over a million dollars each; in fact, some of the projects were entirely foolish, created no jobs and simply wasted money. 
  The health care bill was passed with phony numbers, phony figuring, phony "logic," deceit and against the will of the people. It is now obvious that the entire health care bill was built on lie after lie after lie.
  The man Obama puts in charge of Medicare and Medicaid professes a deep love for the British health care system.
  Now comes word that the British health care system is completely swamped and is restructuring. Of course, if you had been following British papers, you'd know some of the monstrous circumstances found in government run health care hospitals. 
  It's obvious from the reports that there is no more money to sustain the British health care system. 
  Rationing is reality.

Some of the most common operations — including hip replacements and cataract surgery — will be rationed as part of attempts to save billions of pounds, despite government promises that front-line services would be protected.
Patients’ groups have described the measures as “astonishingly brutal”.
 In addition, companies are deserting this country because of numerous regulations, instability in the market and the general unfriendliness of this country to business. From Der Spiegel:
Named for the law's co-sponsors, Paul Sarbanes, a Democratic Senator from Maryland, and Michael Oxley, a Republican Congressman from Ohio, the law tightened accounting practices to prevent companies from cheating on investors. From the start, companies voiced their displeasure with the high costs required to comply with the reforms. In one provision, companies were obligated to hire an independent auditor to monitor and report on the company's financial reporting. The regulation was meant to protect investors from fraud, create greater transparency of a firm's risks and to expose accounting firms that were helping companies cook their own books.
  The health care bill will be  monstrously expensive. The bureaucracy will grow, not the quality of health care, and the government, just as  it has more and more control over our lives, will have to make "tough" choices between keeping the jobs of all those women and minorities required to be hired in the bill or actually treating patients.
  Now the Obama appointed commission is calling for a tax hike of almost twenty seven trillion dollars. Read about it here:

  Basically our government has driven business out of the country. Heck, our politicians won't even buy American made products, like John Kerry's purchase of a $7 million yacht made in New Zealand (Boston Herald):
  US politicians are so dysfunctional, so disengaged from reality in American life that they are unable to do what this country needs. 
  Having passed 2 bills (health care and financial reform) that total almost 6,000 pages which few politicians have actually read, they are HOPING, HOPING that things will work out once we find out what is in the bills. Of course, WORK OUT means we will be regulated in every aspect of our lives.
  Too bad there are no connections between what's happened to the business community and what's happening with health care.
