The Cost of President Obama’s Healthcare Reform Bill Grows to $1.6 Trillion
One of the concerns that I have about the president’s healthcare reform bill was that instead of finding way to cut costs the bill would grow larger in an effort to buy the votes which are presently lacking.
The first estimates that we heard once congress decided to let us know how much this disaster was going to cost us was $1 trillion. That now looks like a bargain, the bill is now being estimated by members on the senate to cost taxpayers $1.6 trillion dollars.
Who knows how high the final bill will rise, but the president claims that he lies awake at night thinking about the budget deficit, I can attest that he is not alone. The problem is that it is President Obama who is creating these record deficits. One has to wonder if he is lying awake because of the deficits or because he fears voter repercussions in 2010 because of his unsustainable spending. Either way, this bill’s cost is going to continue to grow the longer that it is debated.
It is time to cut off debate and send this bill away forever, we simply can not afford it.













Socialized medicine means higher taxes with fewer benefits for all. Not a good deal. Just finished reading a biting satire on Grouch at Right Truth the guy is a doctor, but direct and funny. A very good read.

Horses mouth: This is unsustainable, We’re out of money now. Are people absolutely blind? Or are they so deeply sycophantic that it doesn’t matter if the rookie bankrupts the entire country?

It doesn’t matter to them, they feel that they are entitled to everything and they really don’t understand what he is doing to our future. So I guess that would make them blind.
