"White House confirms it used taxpayer dollars to hire private company to distribute e-mails, including unsolicited spamming to push health plan"

What bullshit -I am sorry, but no matter what side of the aisle you sit on this is irritating. My tax dollars should not be used to "sell" a proposed government program. The program should sell itself.

In regards to the "program" itself: I am just tired of this crap. It is an ill advised plan that the administration has a hard on for and is trying to stuff down out throats. It is the the largest program in size of spending and bureaucracy ever conceived, and all the president really gives a crap about is pushing it through. There is a reason for this. I don't know how many times during his campaign he took shots at the health care industry, promised "reform", and that no one should be without it. He knows that another 4 years of his socialist czar-like regime hinges on health care being passed.

Despite the fact that this countries economic woes are the worst since the Depression, with a ridiculous deficit, they still want it. At least Old Joe Lieberman says this needs to be put on hold while the economy re establishes itself and we are free from recession. Good man.
