Poll
Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


President Barack Obama is set to sign a bill extending jobless benefits 20 weeks and prolonging the $8,000 homebuyer tax credit.

The law is also aimed at spurring job creation by giving an additional tax cut to struggling businesses.

Later Friday, the president will visit Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Then he meets in the Oval Office with Congressman-elect Bill Owens, the Democrat who won a special election in New York's 23rd District that's been controlled by Republicans for decades.

Obama will also meet with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, just back from a trip to the Middle East.

FDR
Proved that throwing [tax] money at the problem and inventing government programs to spend yet more [tax] money cannot create a healthy economy. As for tax cuts: what a joke. Every major bill slithering through congress will eat small and medium businesses alive.

Left alone, the economy will heal, but Obie and the radical Dems will not leave it alone. And their political philosophy ensures the steps they take will be destructive. Our best hope is that "moderates" in both houses are reading the poll trends, understand the likely consequences of supporting suicidal politics, and care enough about self-preservation (aka re-election) to vote "No.".
