A transmission from Bizarro World via CBS’s “Early Show.” I know he has to say stuff like this — admitting that we just added more economic dead weight to an already crushing entitlement load would be politically catastrophic — but it’s still amazing to hear him say it.
They really, truly are going to campaign on the idea that a raft of new federal health-care benefits is a money-saver, despite the glorious experiences of Medicare and RomneyCare and despite poll after poll showing that people expect costs to go up, not down.
We can crunch the numbers every which way, starting with the original sin of gaming the CBO estimates to lie about the program’s real pricetag, but it’s actually more useful to revisit that golden SNL skit parodying Obama’s joint presser with Hu Jintao. One line says it all: “I am noticing that each of your plans to save money involves spending even more money.”
That’s precisely the gut-level response most voters will have when they hear him talk like this, and it’s a huge reason why the polls on O-Care simply aren’t going to move that much before November. So if, as here, The One wants to console himself with the idea that “it’s only been a week!”, he’s welcome to it. The die is already cast. Click the image to watch.

Obama : “America would have gone bankrupt if not for our new trillion-dollar boondoggle

They are robbing Peter to pay Paul. Usually a sign that financial collapse is imminent.
When you rob Peter to Pay off Paul, you will eventually make Peter very sore. A large number of us know that is very difficult to work with a sore Peter.
No worries. The new Obamacare Health Rainbow Package includes on page 2,104 paragraph 31 section 2 subsection 13 - Free Lubes and Oil Changes for everyone. Peter will just have to live with his soreness for 4 years until those benefits kick in.
Good.
Glad to see you've been paying attention. Every one new dollar of debt equals minus $0.45 to the GDP...it wasn't always this way. (We just went through a phase transition)
You got it, Soul of the South!!
Be Ever Vigilant!
My take, they're ADMITTING this is not about providing health care but just another tax on the private sector to balance an unsustainable debt. They want they're hands on 1/6 of the GDP.
