Nabbed this chart from the Heritage Foundation site as a follow on to my earlier post about Great Britain's dilemma. This shows "as is" programs without adding in the proposed health care "reform" legislation (House version adds $1.4 trillion, current Senate bill a mere $850BB...this from the same people who told you that Medicare wouldn't cost that much).
As I have said frequently here - fix the current problems that we have first! Then see if there's any money to go around for other goodies and whether the American people want them. The Brits are already at the intersection of the red and blue lines - we are obviously heading there...how about some adult leadership that tries to solve a problem instead of expanding an existing one?
