Nonsense? Dude. I know it hurts your head, but the members of one party have a track record of actually doing stuff about the cost of its proposals and the other one doesn't.

The amount of debt that was amassed over the last two years is unprecedented.

Leaving aside that I don't think it actually is unprecedented (see the '40s), the question is why it freaks you out more to add to the debt because of (1) soft revenues resulting from a poor economy, (2) automatic stabilizer payments (resulting from the poor econmy), and (3) one-time stimulus spending and targetted tax cuts (resulting from the poor economy) than it does to add to it by (a) creating a new entitlement, (b) cutting income tax rates without cutting spending, and (c) fighting two wars without doing anything to pay for them.
You may disagree with rationale for first grouping, but they're temporary and done intentionally on credit for a reason (except 1 obviously). The second grouping, on the other hand, was the work of those who claim to abhor deficit spending (except when they do it).

And I will bet any amount of money that Obamacare will not only not save money, it will cost 10x what they are predicting.

That's great. You have a personal conviction contrary to the best available non-partisan analysis. The new house leadership apparently disagrees with you. Maybe they should check with your gut first next time?
