Why is any and all opposition to Obama's trend toward Socialism in healthcare (which has been tried often and has never been successful) dubbed "racist?"

Are we really that ignorant as a society?

It is funny to read about the "possibility" of increasing deficit-spending, when the deficit has increased over the past 9 months at the fastest rate in history.

The government makes healthcare more expensive. Less government= more efficiency= better care

I think it is a good idea get on top of it before it runs a muck like the real-estate companies did. No one will appreciate it but isn't just like children who hate their vegetables.

How many people stay fixed on a job most people work an average of 2 1/2 jobs. Now for injuries on the job no one want to take responsibility for this monster. I worked in an Emergency Room as a RN and injured my knee. They kept me off work with no pay until I said I would not file for workman comp and because I was per diem I had to buy my own insurance who after having my knee repaired said it was a pre-existing condition and they would not pay for it. Now here I am 9 months later no job and everyone that has one is complaining. No, I do not have insurance/

The article does begin by restating a traditional conservative calculation method of taking the face value price of something and not adding in the savings.

IE.

$(-100) - $100=$(-200) loss.

rather than the true equation:

$(-100) - $100 + $100,000(savings)= $99,800 gain.

Republicans never look at the long term, because their entire election platforms are based on short term fears rather than solving big social problems that cost us billions and billions of dollars.

They would rather narrow their sites on more easily definable numbers that in the long run mean nothing than take on the immense, and often unpopular tasks of bringing our runnaway budget back in line, (not just with cutting programs that don't take up that much of the budget anyway, but with raising taxes despite it being unpopular, and with curbing appetites in the country as a whole that lead to economic ruin... AKA why the hell did we do away with all of the banking regulations and then act all suprised when the markets collapsed?).

Obama is offering a long term solution. If we don't take it, the portions of our country that already resemble third world nations will only continue to grow. And don't even kid yourself, they do emphatically exist.

Theodore Kazinsky's shack was luxurious compaired with some of the accomidations I've seen our fellow Americans living in, and they not by choice.

The more we force our citizens to bicker over the smallest portion of the economy left after the massive waste that gigantic megacorporations acrue as pure profit, the worse off we all become.

When a plane is falling out of the sky, "pull up," is not oversimplification, it's just stating the obvious.

This fact check contained very limited insight or fact checks. Much more of an opinion/editorial article with little value.

He would be the biggest of fools if he signed a bill that increased the deficit after stating so in his speech. As stated, there is no final plan YET and the way things are going we may not get one. Let us wait and see what they offer us before we even try to predict the outcome.
