Democrats never tell the truth, and certainly that carries over to government spending figures. LBJ said that Medicare would never cost over $9 billion It is now $987 billion for Medicare and Medicaid. Social Security and Medicare are reaching the point of being broke far sooner than the Democrats admit.
And yet the debate last night was loaded with promises of more Free Stuff for everyone, including illegals who should be getting noting but deportation.
Well, the promises wouldn’t be made if the American people didn’t want the special breaks.
