Poll question: Which Worries You MORE: Government Spending, Or Not Getting A Good Healthcare Law?

Edited on Fri Jul-17-09 05:45 PM by BlooInBloo

Republicans are saying healthcare is stalling due to people worrying more about the former. What do you think?

EDIT: And yes, I'm aware they're not actually independent.

1. war spending and military spending could easily pay for all this

if we just stop being a bully and stop creating terrorist by torturing innocent people or bombing weddings - or have military biases all over the world with swimming pools and very luxurious benefits world wide. Cut back some of the salaries and benefits of state and federal workers over $200,000 a year. Cut off congress critters benefits and give them what we get -

5. TARP was so big and went through so fast, even after stumbling briefly.

I guess it all depends on who is asking for the money.
