You know how the health care bill is going to be great because at the end of the day it actually will help lower the deficit? yeah....not so much. It seems Democrats are counting the same money, as both paying into the medicare trust fund and paying down the deficit. But since the "real" money is only received once...this is impossible. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/12 ... l-deficit/ This is just hitting the hill now and could be a major sticking point as several Democratic senators have gone on the record saying they won't vote for a bill that adds to the deficit.

Brilliant! Claim you can cover the cost of health care AND cover the deficit. People will believe that. Maybe we should all start taking on more debt w/o a way to cover it, and play pretend. It works for them. If the average citizen had the government's mentality(fiscally), they'd be living in a cardboard box down by the river(with a Chinese guy giving them a daily ass-whipping about that $20 you owed him..). |
