Drip, drip, drip...








"Some lies are simply lies. The lies told to sell ObamaCare to a gullible public were nothing less than whoppers. And they continue to drip, drip, drip in."



It seems like hardly a month goes by when there is another story in the paper or on the news about our skyrocketing health insurance premiums. What? How can that be? Premiums, shortly after 2010, were supposed to start going down - way down. Doing a bit of fact checking (because I can't trust my memory as much as I used to), I went back to 2009 to see what our President PROMISED us about our premiums. Not just once, but on multiple occasions, he PROMISED our premiums would go DOWN an average of $2,500 per year per family. And once in a while he (or one of his paid liars) would even claim it would happen by the end of his first term.

By now, many in the public who actually have to pay for their health insurance, feel like they have really been taken for a ride. Mr. "Yes, I will still love you in the morning", has not shown us much love at all. In today's newspaper was another story about certain health care premiums going up in 2016. How much? Like a Roman candle much. Some going up 50% over last year. In fact, according to the CBO and other fact checking organizations, since 2009 the average family premiums has not gone DOWN by $2,500/year - it has gone UP over $4,000/year! What the what?

Okay, but at lease with this new health coverage, enough cost containment was built in so it would not cost the taxpayer anything. In fact (and I do remember this clearly), the President told the nation on MANY occasions, if this new healthcare act raised our national debt "one dime", he would not sign it. Well Mr. President, that must have been "lawyer speak". Because according to the CBO, ObamaCare will not cost the taxpayers "one thin dime". No, it will be much, much more than that. Over the first 10 years, it will cost over $1.7 trillion dollars. All to be financed by debt and much higher premiums.

Are you feeling the love yet? Are you feeling just slightly used? Do you remember when your "spider senses" started tingling when the President and his paid liars told us we were getting more for less? How that did not make sense? Welcome back to reality. Now we are stuck with a lemon and the paid liars continue to tell us we are getting better - all the way to the poor farm. 

The odd part is after seeing how our other entitlements have become huge drags on our debt and deficit, we would run head first into another entitlement. And it will not take long for ObamaCare to become a major debt contributor. The CBO estimates by 2025, annual spending on this new entitlement will be over $200 billion - over triple what the paid liars told us it would be.

But who cares about all that downer stuff. We got the signature achievement done in his first term. And it will be historic. ObamaCare and the Iranian nuke deal we just agreed to will cement his role in history.

Revisionist history will look upon this two events favorably. Real history will show them for what they are - classic failures and BIG FAT LIES!
