Voodoo Economics Redux

Massive new spending programs , new taxes on rich (for now) & slashing the deficit. I can guarantee many who voted for him now will see a massive transfer of money from their pockets to others & are now having second thoughts. Imagine, a politician keeping his promise. He told you what he was going to do & now he is doing it.

He is also going to cut medical spending to pay for his health care & will reduce payments to hospitals. I wonder if the NYS Muncipal Unions who have been ripping into Governor Patterson cut proposal will also start ripping into Obama for cutting hospital reimbursements. This will increase health care costs as hospitals pass along the cuts to insurance companies & patients. Imagine if GWB had proposed cutting medical spending.

It should be interesting.
