*We Should Listen to Massachusetts, by Matt Patterson.

“That we could come so close to implementing a new trillion dollar federal program that would actually raise health care spending, and saddle the nation with hundreds of billions in new taxes in a year when our economy hemorrhages jobs at a rate not seen since World War II (over 4 million jobs lost in 2009), is a troubling sign of America’s fundamental economic illiteracy, and bodes well for neither the administration nor the country.”

But, Berry told the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, the White House does not share his concerns.

“They just don’t seem to give it any credibility at all,” Berry said. “They just kept telling us how good it was going to be. The president himself, when that was brought up in one group, said, ‘Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me.’ We’re going to see how much difference that makes now.”
