Since only washington prints money, All states will see massive tax increases as a result of this bill.
I got to hand to him this Obama is tricky. He gets more people covered by pushing most of the future costs back to the states. This is slick, he gets to keep his budget projections OK because he is sending the bill to us but only through increased state and property taxes.
Madoff woud have been so proud of this financial manipulation that all of the sorry libs have fallen for....
The party of NO will just have to sit on the sidelines and whine.
They shouldn't have walked away from the table early in the process if they really had any interest in reform.
Too bad all they can do is say NO to everything.
It would be nice if they actually had some solutions.
Social Security bankrupt
Medicaid bankrupt
Medicare bankrupt
But that doesn't matter because Pelosi and Obama have said this Healthcare bill will actually save us money.
To everyone that believes this new entitlement program will not also be bankrupt soon, I have some beachfront property in death valley for sale. Any takers???
But more than that I can't wait to go to the polls and throw these bums out!
If Republicans are upset about this then have the RNC cover the health costs of those who opt out of the mandate and also require that those who don't buy health care must agree to revoke the availability of ER services and other health care that is given on the public's nickle.
The teabagger types are hilarious when they lose their minds after they don't get their way. It's a lot like watching two year olds throwing a tantrum...
...and after you finish laughing, be nice and ask them if they feel better now.
