Today the Democrats shared the magic formula they've been working on for years, which would allow the government to spend exorbitant amounts of money while the balance of the federal deficit adjusts itself relatively. The proposed health care plan that initiated the flirtation with black magic is beautifully mystical: in the next decade the government will spend $848 billion to ensure most Americans receive health insurance, and the government will pay for this health care AND reduce the deficit by $130 billion by...raising taxes! Even China isn't this funny. On the other hand, Republicans are suspicious of the magical powers of the bill and are ready to get back to their roots. “It’s going to be a holy war,” said Senator Orrin G. Hatch, Republican of Utah.
