Obama Signs SCHIP, "First Step" in New Government Expansion

From RationalLiberty.com:

“This bill is only the first step.”

With these words, Barack Obama celebrated his signing into law the expansion of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). The bill authorizes an additional $32.8 billion over the next five years to be spent on existing state programs. The difficulty with this legislation is trying to figure out what change has been implemented by the new administration which campaigned so heavily on the slogan. Is it the new federal spending that’s different, or another broken promise by a politician who pledged transparency and stronger ethics rules?
