Guest 2smart4u Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 Remember when zerO was promoting zerOcare as a big cost savings? The congression budget office is now saying zerOcare will now cost at least double (1.7 trillion) and as much as 4 times (3.4 trillion) over what zerO said it would cost. Let's see......Green debacle, gas prices, unemployment, food prices, keystone, debt, border protection, endless lies and deceptions. Somebody tell me why anyone would vote for zerO again??

Let's see......Green debacle, gas prices, unemployment, food prices, keystone, debt, border protection, endless lies and deceptions. Somebody tell me why anyone would vote for zerO again?? The GOP's spin on this story is pathetic. It's an old story first of all. Costs are only up 3.5% from last year's 10-year outlook, why weren't y'all talking about this story last year when there was SUPPOSEDLY a 46.5% increase from original estimates? I'll tell you. Because truthfully, there hasn't been any significant increase in cost estimates. The "over the next ten years" number GOP wing nuts are starting with when doing their shoddy math is the one that factored in low-cost years from before the bill was enacted. Those 10-year numbers factored in 2 whole years where most of the health care law wasn't even LAW yet. Those two years have passed. OF COURSE THOSE ESTIMATES ARE GOING TO LOOK SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER THAN THE TEN YEAR ESTIMATES FROM TWO YEARS LATER. That's the short of it. Check out this editorial that debunks a lot of the bullshit surrounding this story: http://www.tnr.com/b...ouble-price-fox And if you really want to get your head around this entire issue. Please read this piece from FactCheck.org. It's not the simplest read, but it proves that not only is the GOP spin on the new numbers misleading, but the numbers themselves are the result of pessimistic estimates (mostly in order to counterbalance rosier predictions from the White House ) http://factcheck.org...represents-cbo/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you right wing idiots even lie convincingly? The lower figure was for six years. The higher figure is for nine years. And it's not "almost double." You right wingers are lying scumbags.

How about the green debacle, gas prices, unemployment, food prices, Keystone, debt, border protection, endless lies and deceptions. All made up stuff, right? Have another swig.

Have another swig. No problem. What about the trillions of dollars we've spent and are continuing to spend on oil and gas because the oil companies, with help from their allies in Congress and the White House over the past 40 years, blocked any meaningful research and development for new energy sources? You call one failed company a debacle. An intelligent person calls it a risk of getting new technologies started. It cost us piddly compared with the money we've spent on oil, not to mention what that has done to our foreign policy. So the difference between us is that you're swinging with a toothpick and I'm swinging with a bat. Food prices? Really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual, it is you and your fellow right wingers who are lying. If you actually read the CBO estimate, you would see that it estimates the Affordable Care Act to cost $51 billion less than previously projected. and the net cost is $1.1 trillion over ten years, not $1.7 trillion. You lying right wing scumbag. You right wingers are truly despicable, lying about your fellow citizens, including our President, whom we elected with a clear majority of votes. So that makes you an unpatriotic lying right wing scumbag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This topic will disappear the minute you get called out, just like the hundreds of other topics you start and then abandon the minute someone put the lie to you.)
