Mine is going up. Alot of people's are going up. Truth is, the White House predicts a nominal rate of growth of 6 - 7 % per year for the foreseeable future. And this doesn't take into account all the people that will now have to pay for health insurance, that they won't be able to afford to use, or pay an extra tax, and still not get health CARE.

No one but Cllinton forced himself to be more "moderate" than he was. He RAN on being more moderate. He, and the DLC invented the whole "triangulation" strategy. HE was responsible for his failures, especially with respect to health care. But not to worry, Obama came along and passed a health care plan not all that unlike (by his own description) the opposition plan put forward by the GOP at the time that Clinton was trying to get something through. Fortunately for the GOP they didn't have to actually vote for it this time.
