Feeding the beast - George Will "A victory for Obama's agenda of spreading dependency": "Forbidding insurance companies to deny coverage to persons with pre-existing conditions, thereby making the risk pool more risky, will increase the cost of premiums. Public complaints will be smothered with more subsidies. So dependency will grow."

Of course, government spending can only continue as long as we can keep finding suckers to purchase U.S. debt. Hey, what's this from CNBC today? "Why the bond auction fizzled: Fears of a 'fiscal train wreck.'"

Uh-oh. Also, let's ignore these American rubes: "Most American voters believe it's possible the nation's economy could collapse, and majorities don't think elected officials in Washington have ideas for fixing it." Crazy!
