<<<Well I thought I made that clear - from watching my health care cost go up 17%. If you think that raising people's health care cost is going to get democrats elected, I suspect democrats have a rude awakening coming.>>>

1. Did you read the CBO score on the health care bill?
2. Did you read that article by Paul O'Neill that I posted to you?
3. Do you understand how much the two Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 added to the budget deficit?
4. Do you have any inkling of the cost of the two wars that Bush started and how much that added to the budget deficit?
5. Do you have any ikling of the cost of the unfunded Drug prescription bill that Bush passed?
6. Do you have any inkling of the cost of losing 8 million jobs and how much that added to the national debt?

What are you talking about?

So you believe that if the healthcare bill hadn't passed, your insurance rates would not have gone up? They went up last year, too, didn't they?
