Claim: The Republican National Committee announced a new TV ad attacking President Obama's proposed health care plan as a "risky experiment" that threatens "our health." It said the ad would run in Arkansas, Nevada and North Dakota. The ad says "trillions" have been committed to "rushed" bailouts and takeovers of banks and the auto industry. Fair enough, though $68 billion of the bank bailout money already has been repaid, with interest. It may even be so that the Obama administration has embarked on the "biggest spending spree in our nation's history,"
