Eaglewings says:

Another Government run program that ended up costing way more than necessary in addition to promoting the expansion of Government programs while at the same time trashing the Constitution.

This is the same congress who wants to run everything from your retirement accounts to your home mortgages and even the automobile industry.

They can not even build a visitor center on budget and you want hand them the reigns of the health care system. GOD HELP US ALL!
