Obama promises Obamacare will reduce federal deficit by nearly one trillon dollars
Fox News Channel | 3/9/10

Posted on 03/09/2010 7:04:33 AM PST by pabianice

Per Fox, this is Obama's latest claim. CBO says it's the opposite: ObamaCare will raise deficit by this amount over 10 years. White House may now be back-pedaling on this.

ObamaCare has devolved into pure lies and politics.

Well sure. Doesn't it stand to reason? If you are in financial trouble and paying out more than you are taking in, the way to solve the problem is to increase your expenses and outstanding liabilities even more. Having trouble making your monthly housepayment? Take out a second mortgage. Electric bill too high? Jack up the air conditioner and cool it down even more this summer. Water bill too high? Take longer showers and water the lawn more often. The possibilities are endless.

What about all the promises he made for the stimulus and cash for clunkers? All were failures, yet no one holds Zero’s feet to the fire over the claims he made about them, now do they?

What makes anyone think that he’ll be held to account for this particular claim?

This just shows that he doesn’t pay attention to what’s going on. He was reading his teleprompter and relating what he’s been told to say. The people that wrote his speech got it wrong and he didn’t know the difference.

I have heard Hussein say that by the federal govt. taking over health care it will relieve states of medicaid obligations. He says that the states are running big deficits on this and the federal takeover will fix that. The assertion that this reduces deficits is idiotic. It just shifts it from the states to the feds. It centralizes control of the system under an entity that can run deficits without having to pay for them and that has the power to print the $ needed to pay if it so chooses.

More proof that the Corrupt Liberal Media is just the propaganda wing serving the Democrats.

A free media would tear him apart for this idiotic statement.

That is not the figure Obama offered. He said it would be eleventy-skadillion dollars in deficit reduction.

Right. That’s like saying it relieves a burden on you financially for the liability of one loan to decrease while taking out another loan of a like or higher amount at the same time. It is absurd logic.

If that is true, why is Medicare and Medicaid going bankrupt?...............

It's not just ObamaCare that is one lie after another. The White House speeches don't even pretend to be accurate any longer. The speeches are just the same as the campaign mode for Obama....say what they think people want to hear. I am not sure that they even are capable of discerning truth from fiction any longer, if they ever were. We are witnesses to true madness.
