Seriously though, some of these comments are why there is such an anti-liberal stance in America.... well at least a small part of it.

Obama Seeks $634M Over 10 Years to Revamp Health Care System
Where in the Constitution does it allow for this?
Great, the top 2% of tax payers get ****ed again.
And this money won't get spent on illegals seeking treatment?

Senior administration officials tell FOX News that President Obama's budget will include a $634 billion "reserve fund" to pay for universal coverage. The administration projects the total cost of $1 trillion and describes the "reserve fund" as a down payment on the total cost...
...The president will finance about half of its "reserve fund" allocation by limiting itemized deductions to couples who earn $250,000 or more to 28 percent of the total itemized deductions they claim.
For example, if a couple had $10,000 of legal itemized deductions, the tax change would limit the deductible amount to $2,800. Under current law couples earning $250,000 or more can deduct up to 35 percent of their legal deductions. Using the $10,000 figure again, couples can currently deduct $3,500 from their taxes.

Obama in power grab
More change you can hope in: expanding the executive branch.
More change you can hope in: expanding the executive branch.
Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), the longest-serving Democratic senator, is criticizing President Obama’s appointment of White House “czars” to oversee federal policy, saying these executive positions amount to a power grab by the executive branch.
In a letter to Obama on Wednesday, Byrd complained about Obama’s decision to create White House offices on health reform, urban affairs policy, and energy and climate change. Byrd said such positions “can threaten the Constitutional system of checks and balances. At the worst, White House staff have taken direction and control of programmatic areas that are the statutory responsibility of Senate-confirmed officials.”
