Spendthrift

First Obama gets his $787 billion stimulus bill. Then he adds $250 billion for his foreclosure plan. After spending all that money, he promises to halve the deficit. But then today, Obama announces a 10-year, $634 billion health-care plan.

My calculator must be broken. It tells me that Obama is raising the deficit, not reducing it.

In this deep recession, how many people believe that our current government is too small and taxes are too low?
