We hear about it all the time, especially since ours is so big and getting bigger with every tick of the clock. Debt is bad. Debt will bankrupt the U.S. Debt will steal the economic futures of our (o.k., your) children for generations to come. Bad, bad, nothing but bad. Like a misbehaving cur.

My friend, Huli, is right. The biggest problem with healthcare in America is cost, and it’s a whopper. In 2008, $2.3 trillion was spent on healthcare by all sources in our Country.

The “Cornhusker Kickback”, the “Louisiana Purchase”, the unions’ skate on the Cadillac tax, the closed-door-democrat-only wheels and deals are paint-by-the-numbers pork.

“Dear Nancy,
I received your Christmas wish list last week and, I have to tell you, I’m more than a little surprised. You’re old enough to know by now that only good boys and girls get gifts.
