Because what happens is as the economy suffers tax revenues go down. But unlike businesses where at least your variable costs go down in government your variable costs go up: unemployment insurance workmen's compensation health care benefits welfare you name it.

The minute health care becomes a huge unwieldy expensive government bureaucracy it's a permanent feature of life and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

The real truth is that the Obama administration is professional at bullying as we have witnessed with ACORN at work during the presidential campaign. It seems to me they are sending down their bullies to create fist fights among average American citizens who don't want a government-run health care plan forced upon them.

These are the same people who believe in some cases the federal government should not play any role in providing health care to our people or protecting the environment.

The fact is if our primary legislative goals are to repeal and replace the health spending bill to end the bailouts cut spending and shrink the size and scope of government the only way to do all these things it is to put someone in the White House who won't veto any of these things.

You bet every member of Congress who votes for this bill ought to read it read it thoroughly and understand that what we're looking at here amounts to nothing more than a government takeover of our health care economy paid for with nearly a trillion dollars in new taxes on individuals and small businesses.

And under the existing circumstances I understand there are situations where people indeed need care and need services but I believe in America that the majority of those people are getting those services under situations and circumstances that are afforded to them by their health care providers and their state government.

If the states and territories do not sign up to fundamental reform then my message is equally simple: we will take this reform plan to the people at the next election - along with a referendum by or at that same election to give the Australian Government all the power it needs to reform the health system.

When bureaucrats talk about increasing our 'access' to x y or z what they're really talking about is increasing exponentially their control over our lives. As it is with the government health care takeover so it is with the newly approved government plan to 'increase' Internet 'access.'

If you look at things that really affect people's lives - sport the arts charities - they were always at the back of the queue for government money - health social security defence pensions were all way ahead. And each of those areas - sports the arts the lottery - got relatively petty cash from the government.

Citizens must pressure the American Hospital Association the American Public Health Association the Centers for Disease Control and other relevant governmental agencies to make greening our hospitals and medical centers a top priority so that they themselves don't create even more illness.

Voters did say 'repeal health care ' they did say 'reduce the size of government.' But not a single one of them from the tea party or anywhere said 'give tax breaks to the wealthiest.'

The private sector must play a role in ensuring the prosperity and health of the people who comprise its market. It is time for the private sector to become a proactive partner contributing to the efforts of governments and philanthropies.

The president has declared that the debate over government-controlled health care is over. That will come as news to the millions of Americans who will elect Mitt Romney so we can repeal Obamacare.

There is a consensus of willing leaders from both parties coalescing around the right way forward in health care. Reform should address government-imposed inequities and barriers to true choice and competition.

Religion is of general and public concern and on its support depend in great measure the peace and good order of government the safety and happiness of the people.

To comprehend the Wisdom of this Injunction the better and explain the Duty before us it should be considered that Government is the only Means by which human Happiness can be attained.

The United States are a political state or organized society whose end is government for the security welfare and happiness of all who live under its protection.

An order of government established by such an all-wise powerful being must be good and perfect and must be calculated to promote the permanent peace happiness and well-being of all his subjects.

The object of government in peace and in war is not the glory of rulers or of races but the happiness of common man.

I think government has a major role to play in helping us with the pursuit of happiness.

The happiness of every country depends upon the character of its people rather than the form of its government.
