Liar, we've been over this. The dollar has NOT "plummeted 35% since Bush took [office]". Against major currencies, it is down 17.5%, half of what you claim. See for yourself:
federalreserve.gov

Against all trading partners, it's only down 7.3%, BTW - one fifth of what you claim.

As for "Bush's tax cuts = 2 trillion in new deficits",
bulls#!t. Show me a credible analysis that attributes "2 trillion of new deficits" to the Bush tax cuts.

Finally, as for health care costs, the commerce department's price index for the medical care has risen 12% since Bush took office for a rate of 2.96% per annum. Over the prior eight years, it rose 28% or 3.18% per annum. Not exactly the "through the roof" result you scare-mongers would like everyone to believe.
