Unfair. We have gone nuts at various times about Bush's spending. I came this close to not voting for him in 04. I had to take a long shower after I ended up doing it. The worst part is, even though he isn't one, he has stunk up the word "conservative" for a generation. Maybe forever.

Unfortunately you're right. I believe universal health care will be a financial disaster. I have to make an appointment to get my blood pressure medication that I've been on for years refilled. Health care could be less expensive, but the amount of oversight the government demands makes thrift impossible. * * *
