So, apparently the OP thinks we should throw more good money after bad stimulus & jobs bills that produced neither.
"While proposing new spending, Mr. Obama also will lay out significant budget cuts elsewhere, people familiar with the plans say, though they will likely fall short of what Republican lawmakers have requested."
From your article.
He's purposing new spending in areas that will cause investment in the country, energy, education, and infrastructure spending.
Mostly good stuff.
If coupled with equal and offsetting spending cuts, I'm ok with it.
Government says "Insurance companies can't deny coverage to someone if they have a pre-existing condition."
Ok, fine, sounds great for me. Now I'll wait and sign up for insurance when I get sick so I don't have to pay a monthly premium to have it. The insurance company can't deny me coverage, because the government says so.
So how does the government fix this problem?
Require everyone to have insurance, aka the individual mandate.
You can't make preexisting conditions covered without everyone having insurance, and everyone wants preexisting conditions covered, because if they aren't insurance companies are clear to drop you for whatever reason they'd like.
Healthcare sounds all nice and everything, but like most complicated systems, if you touch one thing, you've got to touch 5 others.
There is nothing that says pre-existing conditions will not have a much higher premium, as it should.
The President and Dems are focusing on jobs, jobs, jobs and spending constraint. The Repubs agenda, Repeal a popular HC Reform. Good plan Repubs, keep at it.
"spending constraint"... now Bob, that's really funny!!!!
The state of the Union is that our Boy Leader is still spending like a drunken sailor. He has not changed his stripes. Even the tax bill he worked out with the Reps included more spending.

And you believe that tax bill won't cost the economy a penny and will in fact help cut the deficit as it was supposed to do since... 2001. You keep believing what your whiney-boys keep telling you.

You must have read some other dude's post. My post was about spending, not about raising or not raising taxes.
And my post is true. Our Boy Leader is spending like a drunken sailor. That's what he does and that's what he likes.... BIG GOVERNMENT !!!!
There is no war, just a manufactured one from the media.
