    [b]How does launching a massive new government health plan on the backs of small business help the economy in the middle of a severe recession?[/b]

    Really when did that happen?

    Did I miss Healthcare reform or has the house and senate already passed it and Obama signed it.

    Shoot thanks I must have really been a sleep.  I didn’t realize all this stuff already has been decided is is now law.

    For my sleepy-headed little friend, let me back up and explain — the intention to perform an act often precedes the act itself, and usually increases the probability of that act occurring.  Otherwise the act would be involuntary.  Certain acts you are likely familiar with, such as relieving yourself on the couch, may be involuntary and indeed can (and likely do) happen while you are asleep.  But complex acts such as devising, passing, and signing bills into law are unlikely to be involuntary.  Therefore, the intention to launch a massive new government health plan on the backs of small business in the middle of a severe recession would be expected to precede the act itself.
