Health care repeal would widen deficit by $109 billion, says CBO

By Chris Moody, Yahoo! News | The Ticket

    Reminds me of my wife going to the mall, spending $400 on clothing, and then telling me how much money she saved.

    These fucking idiots continue to astound with their brilliance.

    Well thank God it hasn’t been fully implemented yet! Just got home from the hospital after my Mom got a kidney transplant from my sister! You can bet you sweet arse if this monstrosity were in place the way Obuttmonkey wants, she would’ve gotten the Death Panel pain pill and they probably would’ve swiped my sister’s kidney to give to some illegal alien, or sold it to some oil-rich muzzloid!

    As it is now though, all glory be to God Almighty, they are both in recovery and doing fine!!!

    Romney doesn’t want to repeal it.

    The Federal government has never repealed the ridiculous National Firearms Act for instance.

    Romney is the same as Obama.

    – trashing the US Dollar to boost export
    —Nominal GDP targeting to fake growth and monetize the debt
    — he banned assault weapon in Massachusetts, on his own initiative
    — RomneyCare!!!!
    — he likes mandates and disarmament of the people and he overtly wants to destroy our purchasing power

    Dude, you gotta get your effin mind right. You currently have the Anti Christ in office right now. You vote for Paul, it’s a vote for Obama. I’m really getting sick and tired of this “we are gonna correct it all with the up coming vote”. Not gonna happen, it’s small steps not giant leaps. We are freaken out numbered. Get smart, use your head.

    @Bad Brad: Thanks for making my point. I can’t tell you how many repubs I knew voted for Obama in 2008 to “teach the republican party a lesson.” (About what they could never really articulate) But Jesus- a 6 trillion dollar lesson and they could see it coming miles away!!! These people now won’t even look me in the eye. We have got to get Obama out and break the progressive leftists hold on this country before it is too late!

    That was always the plan. Do and say whatever damn thing was necessary to get it passed and keep it from being repealed, until it became so intertwined into the fabric of the nation that it would be too difficult to repeal.

    Beave, My life right now consists of 5:30 a.m. gym, work for 10 to 12, post here when I have time and start it all over. 24/7. Trying to prosper in these sporting times. But, I guess I didn’t do that. What a bitch that guy is. I have made bets with people that if Romney wins, you will start to see a turn around the next day. One of these day I’ll find an avatar. 10:30 cali time. Good night.

    109 billion, huh ?

    http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?singlepost=2897201

    >>>Fact: Federal health spending 1980 was $53 billion.

    Fact: Federal health spending 2011 was approximately $820 billion.

    Fact: That’s an expansion of 15.47 times in 31 years, or approximately 9.2% compounded annually.

    Fact: The Rule of 72 tells us we can determine the doubling time by dividing the growth rate into 72. This results in a doubling time of 7.8 years.

    Fact: At that rate of growth $820 billion turns into $1,640 billion in 7.8 years and in less than 16 years it turns into $3,280 billion, or $3.3 trillion — not far from the size of the entire current federal budget.

    Fact: You stated in your town hall in Destin last year that nobody 50 or older would see their Medicare diminished.

    Fact: There are 35 years between 50 and the expected age of death for most people in America nowdays, which is approximately 85.

    Fact: 35 is two more doublings than set forth above, by which time Federal Health Spending will, at present rates of growth, reach $13.2 trillion — more than three times the entire federal budget of today and approximately the size of the entire present US economy!
