If by "recent" you mean "starting with Reagan" then you're right. In fact, no recent President has increased government size and government entitlements more than George Bush (the 2nd). You could (and I'm sure you will) argue that Obamacare does such a thing, however that has yet to begin and we have no idea the form it will take when it does. As an example consider that the *projected* growth in costs is unsustainable and therefore either the industry will change or the government will be forced to change it (probably for the worse and at the healthcare expense of the population). If Obamacare fores the industry to change in drastic ways that bring down cost, then it can easily be argued there was cost savings generated. The wealth redistribution whining is mostly just that, and Malcolm Gladwell and others have proven that with data. That's not to say that fiscal policy and legislation haven't made it much easier for the talent trend to accelerate - they have. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:337697 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
