Period end of story....

It will pay for itself reminds me of the old days of Solar, LMAO when they would sell a system that would pay for itself in ten years, but forgot to tell you the the panels only lasted eight before needing replacing.....

Never forget numbers never lie, only people lie and OMG "YOU LIE" was never so true....

WE CAN"T AFFORD IT...

Let's pretend that he's completely fabricating the notion that this health care plan will not add to our deficit. We'd spend the money and just print more of it -- same thing we've been doing for years on things that we neither needed nor could afford. At least this is something needed.

Our deficit is like $11 trillion(?) without a national heath care system. $11T and no national health care, or $11.9T with national health care?

I thought it was a good speech. I fully support the idea of a national health care system and think that the arguments should be about funding, not about the neo-con propaganda regarding socialism, death panels, et al. I honestly don't see how anybody could be against the principle of national health care, but I also couldn't understand why people got upset at Obama supporting education. I felt the shots he took on the war cost were appropriate as we've spent more than $900B occupying both Iraq and Afghanistan. Both will cost about the same.

How can we afford imperialism but not health care?
