American taxpayers are wondering how another year of trillion-dollar government deficits is going to help get our economy humming again. We've seen a costly stimulus package that didn't create the jobs that were promised. Then it was a trillion-dollar health care bill that was more about Washington control than giving patients the control they want. And recently Congress increased the national debt limit by $1.9 trillion to pay for its record-breaking spending spree over the past 12 months. So it comes as no surprise that today the White House unveiled a new trillion-dollar health care bill that is even more expensive than the Senate bill it was supposed to improve upon. When will Washington get it? Americans are making do with less. Shouldn't the Federal Government they pay for at least do the same?
