I really don't have much of an investment in healthcare reform one way or the other; I can take it or leave it.
But what I do care about is the deficit. At the end of July, we have a $1.2 trillion deficit for the year! This is unbelievable and unsustainable. This happy-go-lucky spendthrift president and his Democratic congress are spending America into oblivion. We may end up having a $2 trillion deficit for the year which is about what the entire budget was the year Clinton left office (and that was a balanced budget). Many people are shaking their heads in bewilderment. Those that aren't probably don't understand numbers. I say: balance the budget NOW. Don't do it incrementally; do it now...in fact, I say not only balance the budget but create a surplus. And if such a move throws us into a depression, I say: bring it on. Better to deal with it now than have a much longer and worse one later. If this president can't immediately balance the budget then he should be told that impeachment is in his future. Enough already!
