what is unfolding before our eyes is a colossal fiscal disaster, poised to haunt legislators and taxpayers for decades to come.
It is quite possible that the ACA is shaping up as the greatest act of fiscal irresponsibility ever committed by federal legislators.
Well, actually Socialist Security, MediCaid, and the "War on Poverty" were all incredible wealth-distributionist, economy-killing measures, they'll be hard to beat.
As a population, we might just be smart enough to nip Obamadon'tCare in the bud. If not that is exactl right. Unfortunately all those other socialist RAT-programs are all still alive and well, plus many more.
Amen.
Plus look at the comparison of “leaders”. Vlad vs. Wimple the Fool (of course they have to make W just as bad)
"An Expansion of Spending Commitments Comparable to Enacting Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid: Our biggest fiscal problems today stem from Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security costs rising well beyond original projections. The ACA was enacted even though these longstanding financing challenges have still not been met, and represents an additional expansion of federal commitments comparable to these other programs’ creations. CBO now estimates that the gross costs of the ACA’s coverage expansion will be $92 billion in FY2015, or about 0.5% of our total GDP of roughly $18 trillion. This far exceeds, even relative to today’s larger economy, the initial costs associated with the entirety of Social Security and Medicaid, and is comparable to the startup costs for all original parts of Medicare combined. Consider this: just five years after enactment the ACA will absorb more of our total economic output than Social Security did fully sixteen years after it was enacted.
