Whoa! Back up the pity train here! In 1994, after trying to cram a similar health care plan down our throats, the people threw the bums out of Congress and conservatives along with pressure by the people straightened out the economy. Clinton saw the writing on the wall and signed all the bills that made this possible. Of course, the American people are so uneducated and self-centered that they think today that it was Clinton who actually saved the economy, not the Republican's "Contract with America." Be that as it may, we are doomed to go through the same thing and when the conservatives get the country straightened out, Obama will take credit for it just like Clinton did.
Remember, no money leaves the US Treasury without the consent of Congress. Constitutionally, The president cannot initiate the spending of any money. So that makes Obama a criminal!
