That's THE typical liberal response. You see this in every thread. Find something new. I'm sure you realize CNN, MSNBC is just as biased.
MSNBC, obviously. CNN, not so much.
That's why CNN's ratings are so crappy, they haven't chosen a side. Partisanship gives you ratings.
Bush did run up a large deficit and Obama campaigned on "change" Why hasn't the deficit dropped? Why hasn't our debt to GDP ratio dropped?
The GDP has not increased significantly, so why would the debt to GDP ratio drop?
Unless you actually paid off some of the existing debt, this would not have happened.
Are you referring to "Deficit to GDP" ratio?
I don't agree with socialized medicine, but I also realize there is a real problem with our health industry. How is it the right time to ram through this legislation, a very expensive bill, during a time of economic crisis? How is it ok to attempt intimidation of our Supreme Court? I disagree with most of his policies and I think the founders would as well. But, it is a different time with much different problems.
Socialized medicine provides a better quality of health care, at half the price, throughout the modern world. That is a fact.
The only area that our health care system beats the health care system of any Socialized health care system in any country that has anything close to our resources, is in cancer treatment.
What better time than an economic crisis to try to bring down the cost of health care? More available money to every citizen is more money to drive the economy. Isn't that the entire point behind the right's ideas about tax reduction?
But instead of looking at the big picture, the right chose to make health care into a massive political football, and, as a result, nothing has been accomplished in any other area for the past 3 years, thanks to partisan gridlock.
