Senator Schumer and many of our Democratic colleagues have been conducting a sustained and direct attack on the millions of people who supported and identified with the Tea Party movement. Make no mistake about it they dont respect the people in the Tea Party movement they demean them in every way and virtually every day in this body. And everybody that is part of that movement, because they believed in America, they thought this US congress has gone lunatic in spending their country into bankruptcy. And passing Obamacare over the overwhelming objection of the American people and they did it anyway without listening.
And they spontaneously rose up and it clobbered a bunch of democratic house members and senators - switched the majority in the House by a big number so they dont like it. So everybody that opposes them that says you are not listening to us - they are now demeaning and attacking.
I think the American people and the people that identified with and supported the Tea Party either directly or indirectly need to know that. I respect , I know the people in the Tea Party, They care about America they love America they can understand whats going on here and they think were moving us into bankruptcy and think we have forgotten the entire concept of constitutional limited government.
Weve heard a lot talk about the challenges facing the government, during the funding lapse we are in. All of us want us to see the government return to normal operations and I do too,. but what we seem to be losing is sight of is the permanent consequences - the debt consequences - of the ACA and it needs to be a part of this discussion. And the democrats have refused to listen.
They have basically blocked any effort in the senate to reform in any significant way, the ACA and it has been going on ever since it passed. Their goal is to put up a wall around it. Anything that comes up they wont listen to it they wont consider, they wont discuss Its a fact, its a deal you cant even discuss it.
The House has a right to fund what they want to fund under the constitution and not fund what they choose not to [fund].
They are trying to initiate and force a discussion on one of the most important issues facing America and one of the things that is so dangerous about this bill has not been properly discussed.
"A lot of us are going to donate our pay during this furlough to charity and I will. But I wish our friends would begin to be more concerned for the private sector workers, millions of American workers who will be affected by the Affordable Care Acthammered by it. Eventually full funding will resume to our government. We know that this furlough will end. But if Obamacare remains in full effect the consequences for American workers is going to be lasting, damaging. So will the consequences to the United States Treasury and our financial condition..."
In particular, as ranking member of the Budget Committee , I would like to focus on the huge and fundamental accounting manipulation that lies at the center of this Health Care Law.
The ACA was packaged and sold based on a promise that I am going to disprove. American people knew it wasnt true anyway.
Before a joint session of congress, before a joint session of congress, the president said and promised this, I will not sign a health care plan that adds one dime to our deficit now or any time in the future. Period. Closed quote.
That is a bold statement. As good as read my lips I would say.
As I addressed earlier this week, hundreds of billions of dollars in Medicare savings to the hospital insurance HI trust fund were double counted under the legislation that was passed at least 400 billion dollars. Over the 2010 2019 ten year period. 400 Billion!
So I asked for an analysis before the bill passed [ from [CBO] Dec 23, and we ended up voting on Dec 24 Christmas Eve. They rammed it through before Scott Brown who would have denied them the 60th vote was elected in Mass. - liberal MA - on the commitment he would be the vote to kill Obamacare but they were still able to get it through before he took office.
So, the night before we voted, I asked CBO and insisted they give an answer and they did.
The key point is that savings to HI trust fund (Medicare) under PPACA (Obamacare) would be received by the government only once.
So they cannot be set aside to pay for future Medicare spending and at the same time pay for current spending on the other parts of the legislation (Obamacare) or other programs.
CBO estimated that if Medicare savings were truly set aside, to pay future Medicare benefits the new Health Care Law would not decrease, but increase the deficit over the first 10 years and subsequent decades. They say it would increase the deficit.
There is a lesser known equally shocking account gimmick that I want to mention today, and thats how it was done with Social Security.
They obtained another 100 billion dollars over the next 10 years by double counting social security money.
My time is up and I could explain it in more detail but weve got to understand this.
According to GAO and I asked them not too long ago, and they issued a report that over the long term implementation of Obamacare, it would add 6.3 Trillion dollars to the debt of the United States. Thats almost as much as the liabilities of that Social Security has.
In fully accounting for my budget staff tells me that the Obamacare legislation will be harder to fund and add more to the deficit than will Social Security under current so
We need to stop digging the hole and fixing Medicare and Social Security not adding another program we cant pay for.

0bamaDontCare is a ‘rat dirty trick to steal from and enslave the middle class.
At least he acknowledges that Medicare and Socialist Security are programs we can't pay for.
It's been 50 and 80 years respectively.
Why should anyone think you or your cohorts have any idea on how to fix them? Why not privatize them? Or at least give people the option not to participate in them?
Institute Medical Savings Accounts and expand Individual Retirement Accounts.
Or at least let us engage in the same sort of insider trading you and your fellow Congressholes engage in.
I call it bait and switch! The lib talking point is zero was reelected on his agenda including health care. Well, he’d sold us one thing and look what we got...kinda like the president himself. He probably says to himself... Haha fooled them again!
This Congress and the administration don’t care about debt, and they don’t care about the will of the American people. They figure they can steal, defraud, and manipulate to handle debt whenever they are through ignoring it. They figure they control the American people, so why should they care about what they think. As long as they can subsidize urban poverty, control the media and universities, the unions, and radical haters in leftist organizations, they can tell working, productive, decent citizens to go to hell. And they do.
Yep 0bama’s “ridin’ dirty” again.
Ultimately they are only feathering their own nests ... They care nothing for us or this country’s founding principles...we have been complacent far too long, that is why we have this situation...we are standing at the edge of an abyss!
Ted Cruz and others are standing up for the people. Sessions points out the budgetary facts about Obamacare in this message. Please share with others.
Thanks for that link. Posted in the site and on Twitter.
