I’ve pretty much remained silent on the health-care reform issue. Well it’s time for a bit of Bushwack common sense.

House health care bill over $1 trillion for decade

WASHINGTON — Health care legislation taking shape in the House carries a price tag of at least $1 trillion over a decade, significantly higher than the target President Barack Obama has set, congressional officials said Friday as they struggled to finish work on the measure for a vote early next month.

Democrats have touted an unreleased Congressional Budget Office estimate of $871 billion in recent days, a total that numerous officials acknowledge understates the bill’s true cost by $150 billion or more. That figure excludes several items designed to improve benefits for Medicare and Medicaid recipients and providers, as well as public health programs and more, they added.

The officials who disclosed the details did so on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss them publicly.

Some moderate Democrats have expressed reluctance to support a bill as high as $1 trillion. Last month, Obama said in a nationally televised address before a joint session of Congress that he preferred a package with a price tag of around $900 billion.

Obama also said he would not sign a bill that raised deficits, and the CBO estimates the emerging House bill meets that objective. Officials said the measure would reduce deficits by at least $50 billion over 10 years and perhaps as much as $120 billion.

Democrats also said the bill would slow the rate of growth of the giant Medicare program from 6.6 percent annually to 5.3 percent.

“The bill will be paid for over 10 years. It will reduce costs but also will not add a dime to the deficit” in future years, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said at a news conference.

Right off the bat, after the Cap and Tax debacle the DEMOCRATS pushed through in the dark of night, I’m skeptical. Then we have the behind close door meetings, the arm twisting and the “ENEMIES LIST”…So now my ears are picked up and my bullshit sensors are going haywire.

I’m one of those folks that realize we desperately need some health care reform, some type of FIX for the skyrocketing prices of health care. BUT, what I’m hearing so far is nothing more than political power play to appease the base of one party. The DEMOCRATS, led by the liar of the house Nancy Pelosi. The very same Nancy Pelosi who has chastised the very people that have been catching Muslim radicals bent on killing us. The same Nancy Pelosi that has been caught in the lie of all lie’s “We didn’t know they were waterboarding anyone” The same Nancy Pelosi that went after everyone during the Bush Administration for anything from J-Walking to “misleading” but yet, leaves Charlie Rangle in his chair of the ways and means….Odd huh?

Then on top of that we get “Fox is the enemy” while our men and women in Afghanistan are dying in war that the “Messiah” said was “where we should be fighting” yet over 2 months and no decision on assisting our men in the fight with what was requested by the boots on the ground…Way to prioritize oh great leader.

Oh; But we are supposed to believe this Health Care bill they are crafting is “Above board”.. No freakin way. The political capital has been spent. Time for the Democrats to come back to the “JFK” type of Democratic beliefs rather than the “Ted Kennedy” type. I honestly believe right now that if JFK were alive he’d be a regular on Glenn Beck. I bet if JFK were here and seen the mess we are in economy wise, he’d be the first to yell… “STOP, WTF are you idiots doing?”

We are about to turn our dollar into the same value as Kenyan currency. The stimulus package that was the largest single increase in government spending EVER was an OBAMA plan. HE and his “Boys from the Chicago Hood” sold the country a bill of goods that wasn’t even close to above board. We have spent more money in 9 months than GWB did in 8 years. And they are about to double down!

IF you have an American bone in your body, remove these crooks and liars from office in the next election. We in the REAL WORLD are keeping track, and the totals will be up on every website from coast to coast in the next election. Idiots like Olympia “RINO” Snowjob will get the first pink slip.
