That way, I "appear" to be in debt to you, but I really paid you.

And why not get healthcare going? It took Canada like 15 years or something for them to Iron it out. I would "never" expect, even if the best person in the world was running, to get healthcare off the ground, perfectly or even half ass good.

Speeding it up.. gets the ball going quicker so the bugs can be dealt with quicker.
This talk and interest in health care is a great thing. Our system needs improvement. However pushing for votes before law makers read the material and have ample opportunity to debate and improve it is a bad idea (referring back to the stimulus).

As to debt, I don't understand what you're trying to say. It sounds like you're talking about manipulating numbers to make the final figure look more attractive. But no matter how many numbers you fudge, the US government is still going to owe all the trillions of dollars it is borrowing. Even Europe is afraid of our spending. We are destabilizing our currency. We are printing money. We are risking inflation in a time where wages and jobs are falling. Think BIG PICTURE. How do people not see this? How are more people not worried wanting to slow down and stop the spending that we don't know how to pay for?
