I'm intrigued by the implications of your attitude about this. It seems to me that you and I have each argued that some programs are more threatening than others to our financial health because they are the "gift that keeps on giving." If, for example, you commit to a war, when the war ends, the costs stop. But if you commit to an entitlement program, you can't stop it so you're effectively, if not technically, committing funds in perpetuity. Ergo Obama's health care program is worse for the debt than Bush's war. Now you're telling me they are effectively the same, each a year by year commitment. I don't know what to make of that.
