Obama Announces "Raw Deal" of Massive Government Spending Increases

Barack Obama promised to spend billions of taxpayer dollars
today to invest in roads, bridges, school buildings, the internet,
medical records, a chicken in every pot, etc.The Politico
reported:

President-elect Barack Obama added sweep and meat to his economic
agenda on Saturday, pledging the largest new investment in roads and
bridges since President Dwight D. Eisenhower built the Interstate
system in the late 1950s, and tying his key initiatives – education,
energy, health care –back to jobs in a package that has the makings
of a smaller and modern version of FDR's New Deal marriage of job
creation with infrastructure upgrades.

The president-elect also said for the first time that he will “launch the
most sweeping effort to modernize and upgrade school buildings that
this country has ever seen.”

“We will repair broken schools, make them energy-efficient, and put
new computers in our classrooms,” he said in the address.

The president-elect is bringing new elements of his domestic agenda into
his economic recovery plan, committing to a path toward giving every
American access to an electronic medical record as part of an “economic
recovery plan ... that won’t just save jobs, it will save lives.”

Here's the deal:

The government couldn't be trusted with Joe the Plumber's records.

Do we really want them to control and have access to our medical records?
