With health care being one facet of that strategy, I feel that Pres. B.O.'s handlers are purposely ruining the economy in order to foster a greater dependency on the federal government by its citizens.

Playing catch-up on my e-mail today, I caught this little blurb in a report that was sent to me regarding federal spending. It's a report from the CBO to the US Senate on budget forecasts:

"Federal debt held by the public would stay near 60 percent of GDP during the coming decade but then would turn upward and reach 79 percent of GDP by 2035 (see Figure 3 and Table 2). In the absence of policy changes, by 2046 the ratio of debt to GDP would be higher than the level that the United States experienced shortly after World War II." (page 8)

And this was the optimistic apprasial. Same report, next paragraph:

"Under the spending and revenue policies incorporated in this scenario, federal debt would surpass 100 percent of GDP in 2023 and exceed 200 percent of GDP by the late 2030s."

Now just to reiterate, this is an assessment from the CBO, a non-partisian branch of our government.
