I myself prefer facts. Whether they are current facts, or historical facts, they cannot be denied. Promises can be false, or they can be broken. So let’s look at some facts.
The porkulus bill. We are told that the stimulus bill is working. If that is the case then why are we still in a recession when other countries that decided not to impose any stimulus are doing better than we are. Why the Stimulus Flopped — By: Mark Steyn from National Review Online. We are told that illegal’s will not be entitled to coverage under ObamaCare. This is probably my favorite. As I have already written about, they must think we cannot read between the lines, even lines that are a mile wide. Forget about the current proposed legislature, we are already providing health care for illegal’s to the demise of some hospitals, and at huge expense. Here’s the false promise, Obama’s misleading statements on health care for illegals from American Thinker Blog, and here are some hard facts, Paying The Price For Illegal Care from IBDeditorials.com Commentary and Cartoons. There are no Death Panels. We know that the house removed the clause for reimbursements for end of life counseling, but as I reported the other day,The Death Book for Veterans from WSJ.com: Opinion, the VA already has such a policy.

Obamacare-Point and Counterpoint from American Thinker
Some politicians cannot be trusted. They will try and do what ever benefits themselves, their party or their agenda. Take Ted Kennedy, for example. Apparently he is trying to get a law that he helped to get passed changed in order to have his senate seat immediately filled should he die or step down. It is funny that when he worked to get the 2004 law passed it was to prevent Mitt Romney from appointing a Republican to John Kerry’s seat should he have won the presidency. Don’t we try and teach our children about fair play, and that you cannot change the rules in the middle of the game. What do you think of someone who would try something like this? Do you trust him?

Is ObamaCare even constitutional? Not that the Constitution means anything to the radical lib’s, but I think that if it should pass, there will be major constitutional objections. The fact remains, the government does not have the authority to force individuals to buy health care insurance.

I guess they guessed wrong again. The White House will be increasing their 10 year budget estimate by 2 trillion dollars. That’s $2,000,000,000,000. They are now expecting the deficit to be $9 trillion over ten years. W.H. hikes deficit estimate by $2T from POLITICO Top Stories by Amie Parnes,Eamon Javers.
