Proving once again that logic does not reign in Washington DC, Vice President Joe Biden, told a group of senior citizens today that "we have to go spend money to keep from going bankrupt." Clearly, this man has now certified himself to be a complete moron. Of course, anyone with a half a brain knew this years ago.
Can any tell me how spending more money than you earn will stop you from going broke? This is the sort of thinking that locks generations of Americans into debt servitude. And that's exactly what America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 will do however on a much larger scale. If this bill is passed, current and future generations of Americans will be slaves the ever increasing deficit and the debt service on that deficit.
Sure, healthcare in this country has some issues. But why can't we use some good old common sense to fix the problem. Things like letting people buy coverage across state lines, reform of state health coverage mandates or put an end to frivolous lawsuits against healthcare providers. There are plenty of ways to reform the system that make a great deal more sense than maxing out this country's future.
