Title: AMPU - Obamacare Busts an Already Busted Budget
Post by: amperfectunion on April 10, 2012, 12:28:04 PM
Hey folks, latest article is up, called "Obamacare Busts an Already Busted Budget."

http://amostperfectunion.com/ampu/archives/art41.htm (http://amostperfectunion.com/ampu/archives/art41.htm)

"In the Washington Post this morning, there’s an article about how Obamacare is adding $340 billion to the budget deficit over the next 10 years.  Frankly, I’m surprised it’s that low."

Enjoy!

Yes, the phrase "at least $340b" requires one cognizant of past government performance to immediately apply a multiplier of 4 or 5 to that just in the near term!

The myth that this POS law was going to cut the deficit was known to be a shell-game from day one.  The 500 billion transfer from Medicare is double-counted.

Yeah, and maybe it's naive of me, but the fact that people are believing such an obvious lie dismays me greatly.
