I am not saying I disagree with you, but the "how do we lower the deficit by introducing a trillion in new spending?" question is a red herring and not conducive to productive debate on the subject. Obviously, other programs will be replaced by this bill, and that is how they are proposing costs will actually be cut.
Again, I am not saying I disagree with you necessarily, but there are other points that are more worthy of discussion such as the constitutionality of requiring all Americans to purchase health care.
