In his press conference, when questioned about his massive spending plan, his defense was that once we get healthcare under control, the deficit will drop.
How?
Right now, while healthcare costs are very high, they are not a drain on government. Reducing them for the american people will not bring in more dollars to washington.
My only guess is he feels that once the money is freed from families, he feels he has the right to collect those funds as taxes.
Aside from that, what's the mechanism for government to collect more money by saving individuals healthcare costs?
