Health care option

Sir, I will make this short. I do not support this public option. I do not want the extra debt that this will cause, we are already fighting to stay alive with the higher food cost, the higher gas prices, public transportation is charging more, we need jobs, etc. The President should be putting this effort into improving employment, we want to work. But he is playing golf and taking his family on trips at our expense. I am not happy with what he is looking at first. Jobs are needed not this public option, give us all the money he is willing to spend on this option so we can maybe stay in our homes.
