When he refers to "this mess" that he "doesn't want to hear about" from the "people that caused it", he's not talking about health care. He's talking about the economic crisis. In the long term, health care costs, defense costs, dog catcher costs, everything is part of the picture, you're right. But in the short term, the problem is a recession/depression causing massive unemployment, not excessive spending.

How is he solving the economic crisis? Fed is the same (less Bernancke which it good). Bailouts which keep the same loser executives in place, and force the government to raise taxes in order to remain solvent. Bogus stimulus package, which is really a democratic wet dream of social and pork spending on projects that by in large will not be started until next year. It might even be considered anti-stimulus, because while it does create demand for a thin slice of the labor force, it by and large wastes our resources on things we don't really need.
