"Health care reform is entitlement reform." Not.
Stimulus working in reverse: Long-term interest rates shoot up while the recession deepens, exactly contrary to the Fed's wishes, as Obama runs up huge spending-driven deficit increases.

When surveyed, most people say they would support Congress placing "price caps" on cell phone service and automobiles, and 39% say they would support Congress placing price caps on televisions and "coffee and other hot beverages". Yet more evidence that Americans shouldn't be allowed to vote.
