Can't afford what?

I was going to talk about how to pay for it all. But, some things are self-explanatory! This is a GDP chart from Wikipedia. Look at us, look at everybody else. Reform means making us more competitive with the rest of world, while catching up, which means PAY RAISES, as well as better stability. Status Quo on health care means wage freeze, less small business, while costs continue to sky rocket. We can aford this, we must do this! Or we are a joke.
