[Vision2020] Alaska vote count

[Andreas Schou]

Let's just talk about all this:

> surely a huge increase in health care spending,

There isn't one. The CBO score on the ACA is a net positive.

> the enormous expense of cap & trade,

Cap-and-trade didn't even pass the Senate, and (in its Senate
chairman's mark) rebated the money to energy consumers on the back
end.

> continued ineffective stimulus spending,

First off, even Republican economists concede that the stimulus had an
effect on total payrolls -- like, for instance, Douglas Holtz-Eakin,
McCain's top economics advisor. Second, what bill is or was continuing
to proceed through Congress that even proposes to continue stimulus
spending?

> an unprecedented increase in government payroll

Government employment has shrunk under Obama, unless you count
temporary census workers.
