I have been quite demoralized since Sunday: I couldn’t believe the level of arm-twisting, deal-making and compromise in the final week of the health-care debate. Sometimes I forget how terrible politics is.

In any case, here is a good video by Reason TV giving three reasons why the health-care bill won’t shrink the deficit. I hope it will help the people who are still believing that spending trillions to save billions is possible will open their eyes.

Watch and cry (that is, if you haven’t been already for months).
