Anger at government deserved, senator says

Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., says the angry tone of the health-care debate is the result of people losing confidence in government.

Coburn said on "Meet the Press" the government has earned that loss of confidence.

At times during protests, critics of President Barack Obama's health-care overhaul have likened him to Adolf Hitler.

Coburn calls health care a symptom of the debate over an uncontrolled federal government. He says unchecked spending by Congress has raised the question of whether lawmakers are legitimately thinking about the American people and their long-term best interests.
