Dems On Health Care: "Our Account Can't Be Overdrawn-We Have Checks Left"

Congress talks about their budget-busting health care plan just like that old joke about the person who bounces a check for the first time and says, "I Can't be Over Drawn, I still have checks left." They have already mortgaged away our children's future in the first 150 days of this democratic party-led fascist economy revolution (government control of mostly private enterprise). Now they are proposing a health care plan that continues their reckless abandon method of spending.

When told that the Congressional Budget Office projected that the costs of Obama care could run as high as $1.6 billion and would insure only about 1/2 of the uninsured, Speaker Pelosi slammed the nonpartisan budget analysts for always providing "the worst case scenario." Last time the Democrats were saying that, it was before the budget process. Remember this chart?

The White House projected a $1.75 Trillion deficit, the CBO projected $1.85 Trillion, the actual number seems to be trending way over $2 Trillion. Sorry Nancy, but in the "Price is Right" they win.

Unfortunately this is not a game show, its real life. and the democratic party Health Care Plan will not only severely downgrade the quality of medical care we get in the United States, but it will add AT LEAST $1,000,000,000,000.00 to the deficit. In short it is a Trillion Dollar Mistake:

Not only no, Nancy, Harry, and Barry...but HELL NO!

We are at a pivotal crossroads in our nation's history. A very steep, very hard and dangerous roads leads one way...an abject fatal precipice leads the other.
