Town Hall Meeting Rage

I have to say that I'm sympathetic to the unruly people showing up at various town halls. Some of it may be orchestrated but I think it is basically due to a very healthy resistance to big government. I heard one Congressman promising all kinds of thing with health care reform. People couldn't be refused for pre-existing conditions, there would be no exorbitant co-payments, everyone would be covered, etc. Yet how would he pay for all of this? It's easier for someone in government to promise everything in the world. Why not buy everyone a new car (we partly doing that with the cash for clunkers) or pay everyone's mortgage. Eventually we have to pay the bill.
