Now is NOT the time to be thinking about spending more and expanding programs, it's about spending less and shrinking programs. People need to take a hard look at the real economic numbers not the manufactured junk coming out of Washington.

Elected officials on all levels of government - but especially those we send to Washington -
need to take a real hard look at the effects of their actions on all of us. That is reality!
You are right [maybe I should say correct
] to suggest that it is time to reduce spending and shrink programs; but that is not how to get re-elected. That just doesn't happen in Washington.
Health care in this country does need reform - but not with the legislation that is being proposed now. The issue has been studied for ages and there are other solutions in those studies gathering dust in some basement storage area. This Congress would be better off studying the studies and developing incremental changes that impact the multiple facets that need to change in order to develop overall change.
