Obama Pushes Old Leftist/Soviet Style Concept - "Community Health Centers"
This is also an idea that the lefties in many states pushed, a top-down, central control, bureaucracy that will shift money away from some to give it to others. In this case, it's for "medical care".
Nothing like socialized medicine and Soviets to make you feel like you're in the "land of the free".

Obama's National Health Plan Begins - Starting Point $1 Trillion
Combined with the new position created in his "Stimulus" Package, a position which appoints a single bureaucrat to oversee "healthcare efficiency", and who can tell doctors what procedures are and aren't "efficient", this new wrinkle is starting to look really ugly.

CITIgroup Nationalization gets Closer... Feds look at 40% Takeover...
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Citigroup Inc is in talks to give the U.S. government a larger stake, a person familiar with the matter said, providing Washington with a far greater say in the affairs of the ailing banking giant.
Taxpayers could end up owning as much as 40 percent of Citigroup's common stock, though executives at the third-largest U.S. bank by assets hope to limit the stake to about 25 percent, The Wall Street Journal said on Monday, citing people familiar with the situation.
Obama Budget: Higher Taxes (SURPRISE!) on Business and High Earners, Lower Speding on Military in Middle East
The lower military expenditures will never give him the savings he needs to balance any budget. But at least he's sending less into the so-called "war".
The taxes will hurt the economy. The spending on bailouts of all kinds will hurt the buying power of the Dollar.
