Why is Dr. Oz making a comment about the deficit in the first place? He's supposed to be a medical doctor, not an economist.

Doctors should be saying what is healthiest, not what makes money for the government. His priorities are out of whack.

He's a conservative. They think they're experts at everything. That way they don't have to learn anything or refer to experts who make them feel inadequate for how stupid they are.

At least he's not making the Phillip Morris case that smoking will kill people before they can claim their pension. Unhealthy and makes Uncle Sam a few bucks.
