Sure we do.
It's called obyuummers health care bill.
Why do you think he and gang are so desperate to pass a bill - spending about 95% of the entire administration on it when it doesn't take effect until 2014?
Because we start paying for it immediately - pre-pay for years ahead. You don't actually think that money will allocated to a "lock box", do you?
I suspicion it's the instant flow of big bucks to Washington that even is tempting to RINOS.
Although that money may also be 'redistributed' to Muslims countries, like out NASA monies are - while closing down our space Program and putting thousands out work - and will plunge the area into 15% unemployment.

Here is the Obama saga on Iraq: 2003: a mistaken war; 2004: “not much of a difference between my position on Iraq and George Bush’s position at this stage”; 2005–07: voted each year to fund the war; 2007: all troops out by March 2008; 2008: the surge is not working; 2009: the status-of-forces agreement signed by Bush is adhered to; 2010: Iraq (according to Vice President Biden) might be the administration’s greatest achievement — though it was, of course, not worth the cost. Factor in Bush’s popularity rating at any one time, the relative ongoing level of violence in Iraq, and the proximity of Obama to an election, and one might predict his often-changing position on the war.
So what exactly is Iraq now? Is it a brilliant effort by the U.S. military that removed Saddam, defeated an insurrection, helped to wipe out thousands of al-Qaeda terrorists, and birthed a viable consensual government? Or is it still “Bush’s war,” which somehow morphed into Obama’s “greatest achievement” by some mysterious and yet unspoken process?
Great summary of the schizophrenic, deceitful, hypocritical garbage of the Obama 'policy' on Iraq.
Some "mysterious and yet unspoken process" has turned it from the dastardly Bush's war to the miracle of the Obama administration.
Great VDH piece. Thanks!
Obama is George Bush.

“The apparent subtext is that the Left in the past really had no problems with renditions, targeted assassinations, Guantanamo, tribunals, Predators, or the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — only that George Bush presided over them. Take the latter away, and so too vanishes criticism of the former.”
