He gave away billions to the auto manufacturers.
He gave away billions to the bankers.
And now he's giving a huge gift to the insurance companies: mandatory health insurance.
He sure is generous with our money.
I am having great difficulty understanding the Supreme Court upholding a mandate that we purchase health insurance.
Take into account this is the same group that did such a wonderful job with Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security.
Make no mistake: this will cost us. Obama lies like no president before him, even his spiritual father, Bush (President Stupid). He has grown the government like no president before him. Everyone who voted for him should hold him to his promises.
Make no mistake: healthcare is broken.
But government is the problem, not the solution.

inSecurity News for the Week
When the US Army found it difficult to locate IT people with the correct certifications, it did the only logical thing it could: lowered the requirements.
Hey, remember the break-in to the Utah Department of Health's Medicaid server? It turns out the damage is just a teeny bit worse than suspected, to the tune of ten percent (280,000 Social Security numbers). Ah, what's a decimal place or two?
The Department of Justice just seized more than $896,000 and seven domain names for selling counterfeit sports apparel. Isn't it great to see your tax dollars hard at work (supporting large manufacturers)?
Just in case you thought the TSA could manage to stay out of the news for a day, another TSA worker has been charged with child porn.
Perhaps next time you buy a cell phone it will come with the new Broadcom chip that can help locate you to within centimeters! Won't it be nice to know that Faceyspaces can locate and market to you while you're in the mall or an underground parking facility? Or worse?
Just in case you wondered why unmanned drones are being used by local police, check out this guy, who got arrested and will be suing. No good will come of drones.
Dear Readers: please keep your systems patched, antivirused, and up to date. Windows is releasing a boatload of fixes to their buggy operating system. Java and Flash will now auto-update if you allow them to. Regardless of whether you use linux or one of the inferior operating systems, you need to keep everything current. This includes you 600,000 infected Macs.
Remember - the majority of hacks are caused by not patching.
