A Growing Deficit

As found in the The Huffington Post this week, Tony Blankley articulates the severity of our nation's financial situation. Now unanimously agreed upon, by both Democrats and Republicans alike, our national deficit is growing at an ever increasing rate. The "unsustainable deficit", as deemed by analysts, is driving our country into a predictable poverty, one that our federal government is openly embracing.
Blankley harshly criticizes President Obama's promise for health care reform, especially in a time of recession, for our country cannot bare the added debt. Rather than divert funds to pay for the new bill, Blankley proposes that the cut costs be maintained, but the new costs be postponed until our country gains its fiscal value back. With the minimized spending of Medicare and Medicaid, and the eventual pushing back of the eligible age to take part of the system, our nation can eventually recuperate.
Blankley demonstrates pure logic as he elaborates upon the pertinent issue. Through his political illustration, he appeals to the general public, those who pays taxes and are generally affected by national disputes and actions. I find that he is credible, for he presents an argument, devoid of opinion and supported by facts, and presents a temporary solution to harsh reality. It is not a desirable solution, but regardless, it necessary that we do what we must as a nation to stay afloat.
I strongly agree with this analysis, for we are attempting an irrational goal to reorganize health care without maintaining our own national infrastructure. While Obama might be successful in pushing through reform and spreading coverage to millions of uninsured people, the Chinese could reclaim their debt. We don't have the money to pay China back. Half of America could be part of New China within the next decade if we progress in the direction that we have digressed in. We may have health care, but at what cost? Is it worth becoming Chinese?
