House Health Care Bill Emerges

The media and Democrats are celebrating economic growth in the third quarter of the year, while Forbes magazine asks if this might be as good as it gets.  The growth is coming from government spending, like $24,000 per car under cash for clunkers, which is unsustainable and is only removing money from the economy.  The economy continues to shed jobs, the number of jobs created by the "stimulus" package has been overstated, and new home sales fell last month.  In other words, the economy is not recovering, and may even be preparing for a double-dip.  Obama owns it.

 

House Democrats introduced their 1,990-page health care bill today, which includes a government option and new taxes to fund the $900 billion price tag that will add to the deficit in the last five years of the first decade.  What the Democrats are trying to sell is not just a free lunch, but a free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bedtime snack.
