re: #63 recusancy

1) Obama may have had a rosy projection but he wasn’t trying to abolish Medicare and Medicaid.

2) Yeah I’m not sure.

3) Do you have numbers to back that up? They seem to all be in the 50% and 40% range. We’re at 36%.

1. Yeah. IIRC, Obamacare is adding to, rather than reducing, future deficits. I give no more credit to that direction than a bold but questionable proposal regarding Medicare.

3. Brace yourself, it’s a conservative site, but the table at the bottom (as far as I can tell) is accurately transcribed from the OECD data. Just skip the prose (i did) and check out the numbers. Interesting stuff.
