What's In A Trillion?

Does it seem like "A Trillion Dollars" is the new Billion to congress? Have you ever wondered what a Trillion dollars looks like? Well, the people over at Mint.com have created a wonderful new video showcasing what a Trillion dollars look like. Think about it, this fiscal year, our government has proposed about 4 trillion dollars in spending; the largest in our countries history by 1 trillion dollars. Our government has proposed a 1.5 trillion dollar health care plan that we all know will cost more than the government tells us. There are reports that the TARP bailout will cost around 23 Trillion dollars. What other programs will our government create that the can place another trillion dollar price tag on? Why can't the government run like every family in America has too? If we don't have the money to buy something we live without it. It's time for the government to start living by this same principle; cut program, cut wast, cut administration, pay off debts, and protect American Citizens.

Is Health Care Really a "Rigt"?

What would the founding fathers say about health care being a "right?" What would they say about the increasing size of government? There was a reason why the 10th amendment was added to the Bill of Rights. The founding fathers did not want the federal government to grow to big.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

We now have a government that owns a car company, has billions invested in the banking system, and now wants to step into the health care business. Where will it stop?

The house is ready to declare that health care is a "right." This is even as the American support government run health care is rapidly decreasing. Not only will they declare health care a right, it will cost the American tax payer 1.5 TRILLION dollars.

The liberal-leaning plan lacked figures on total costs, but a House Democratic aide said the total bill would add up to about $1.5 trillion over 10 years.
