Climate plan may cost $2 trillion, Healthcare plan $1.5 trillion
According to a Washington Times article, President Obama’s climate plan may cost three times as much as the initial estimate of “cap and trade” legislation over an eight year period. And on the healthcare front, Obama’s plan for universal coverage could end up costing more than double the original estimate over the next decade. This comes on the heels of a New York Times article which states Massachusetts may not be able to sustain the current rate of health care spending over the next five to ten years under its statewide, universal plan.
Once again, we see that the cost of massive, government-run programs has a way of significantly rising over time. The problem is, America is suffering from unprecedented national debt and record breaking budget deficits.
President Obama, would you please stop proposing these gargantuan government programs? Would you please just balance the budget and start paying down our enormous debt? And would you please just allow the brightest minds in the private sector to find more efficient, more cost effective, and more innovative solutions to these tough issues?

Just heard that Eric Holder, the supposed chief law enforcer for king Obama says that Terrorist detainees at gitmo could be released into the US polulation! These people are enemies of the American people and have to go! Try to tell me that our government has our best interests at heart! You got to love these libtards, you couldn't make this stuff up, no one would believe you.

Well, the “Global Warming” hoax didn't work, not it's “Climate Change”. What a farce. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, pants live on it. Either way there is 0 evidence of it affecting the earth. All a great plan to control your daily lives, tax the hell out of you and every business in the US, cause price increases on everything and give the boobs in Washington more power. Enough is enough. The lemmings in Europe may swallow this government crap, but Americans are different that that. Stand up for your rights people before you loose them.
Government health care, oh goodie, I loved the lined at the DMV, I can't wait until these idiots start messing with health care. Government fu&*s up everything it touches. You think health care is expensive now, wait until it's FREE!

Ah, big deal! What's a trill here and a trill there to these people? If they run out of money, they'll just print more. Of course, that's usually the catch with socialism — eventually you always run out of other people's money.
