He added that he thought growing government at that rate would have a “very debilitating effect” on the overall economy and the ability of Americans to get health care in the future.

Who can disagree with the statement that this will "have a very debilitating effect"?

Is it 'hope and change' that will help carry (and pay off ) that debt load?

Senator Gregg (R-NH) has failed to appreciate anything not directly presented to him by the RNC. He has misrepresented half of New Hampshire's voters by becoming another party hack. I guess he is retiring before he gets caught with his family's hands in the cookie jar.

If the USA becomes a "banana republic" Gregg will be on the wealthy end of the banana so his opposition to the administration's policies is understandable. This is just another case of I, ME and MINE, the mantra of the Republican Party.

His premise is true.

The libs fail to show otherwise, in that the rising debt and spending on social programs will be the death of the republic. Every president since 1969 has contributed to the accumulated debt, yet the dems are just pre-occupied with blaming Bush, rather than facing the reality of spending cuts across the board. Bush was a liberal- that is why he spent money like there was no tommorrow. Unless spending is contained, there will be no tommorrow for the US.

"Hope and Change" has become more laughable than "Now, More Than Ever". Obama's "message" was just another campaign slogan to gain political power. His master, George Soros, is pulling the strings on the puppet and unfortunately for us, Soros is far from friendly toward the US.

Here is news for you, if you bothered to observe the steadily increasing GINI index over the past couple decades, you would have already realized we were headed for "banana republic" conditions.
