So the Democrats stole a ton of money to pay off the debt.

The million dollar question now is, who did they steal the money from? Because nothing's free.

How can people be upset by this news? Doesn't wanting the country to succeed trump political idiology?

Obamacare is going to suck the peoples money into the healthcare industry .. oh, the insurance companies are going to get rich.. the small businesses will take a dive as the money taken out of the pockets of the average American forcefully will leave little to spend elsewhere. A giant sucking sound out of the peoples wallets and the companies hiring abilities will be the result of Obamacare in 2014.

Then you should have backed liberal's, who wanted a single-payer government run health insurance system. But there wasn't enough support, so we ended up with the Obama compromise of the health care insurance system devised by the Heritage Foundation in the 1990s.

Not as a percent of GDP, which is all that matters.

As depressing as this may sound, change in private sector employment, by fiscal year, since 2001:
2011: +2.26 million (188K/month)
2005: +2.24 million (187K/month)
2012: +2.20 million (183K/month)
2006: +2.00 million (167K/month)
2004: +1.68 million (140K/month)
2013: +1.51 million (216K/month)*
2007: +1.00 million (83K/month)
2010: +0.35 million (29K/month)
2003: -0.26 million (-22K/month)
2001: -1.12 million (-93K/month)
2002: -1.60 million (-133K/month)
2008: -1.63 million (-136K/month)
2009: -6.51 million (-543K/month)

*2013: Thru first seven months.

In other words, a net increase of only 2.1 million private sector jobs in 151 months since October 2000, an average of: 14K jobs/month.

Unfortunately, you were missing when liberals/progressives were pushing for Public Option at the minimum, but ideally, single payer system.

Another win for the Dems !!!

Eliminate it and start showing black on the books and we can talk.
This is not a republican, or democrat, isolated incident. They are both majority big spending Progressive parties.
