I figured as much. The old "liberal media" talk, without even considering the numbers as true or false. When you can't dispute the numbers, you(not necessarily talking about you as a single person, but conservatives as a whole) just shout liberal media. Did you even look at the links that show where the numbers came from?


My insurance hasn't went up. I actually think it went down about 300.00 a quarter.

I actually looked at some of the information, and as you can see I know something about the Ivy League schools. Knowing how liberal the academia in that neck of the woods really is. I know there is no such thing as a non partisan group of folks with roots in the U of Penn, I mean, it just isn't ever going to happen. I really don't know how you, me, or anybody else, not directly associated with generating the 'numbers', could truly say they were in a position to refute the accuracy.

I do know certain things for a fact. I know my health insurance has gone up 42% since my retirement date, which was after Obama took office. I know dozens of folks I trust to at least tell mostly the truth when they talk, say they have verified that generally speaking, the trend across America has seen premiums raise right at $2,500.00 a year for the average family. I know Obama sincerely promised 4 things that I can remember off the top of my head would for sure happen in his first term , if he was elected president. (1) The 2,500 dollar a year reduction in premiums (2) There was to be, without a doubt, 5 million new jobs created, just withing the renewable energy industry alone (3) The federal deficit would be cut by at least 50% (4) His economic policies would raise no less than 2 million families out of the despair of poverty. I could go on and on, but listing more, wouldn't make the point any stronger than what I have already mentioned.

As I've said before, it really doesn't matter to me whether a man calls himself a dem or a republican. All I care about is the truth. If the dems keep on lying, I'll keep on opposing them. If the republicans start doing the same thing I'll break formation with them too. I have zero respect for a president who blames others for our problems. He's president to fix them, not divide the nation with a daily forced feeding of inflamatory rhetoric. He has as much as cut everybody but special interest groups loose. Choosing to be president of only some of America.

I see the changes, irrespective of the numbers pouring out of the CBO or wherever, and I know that's not the way things have always worked in this country. The numbers that really count are the 16 trillion dollar debt we are drowning in, with no end in sight, and the numbers that once were my bank account, that have shrunk at an alarming rate in 3 years due to rising prices. You can't deny the dems are buying up votes with your money, while at the same time engaging in a smear campaign against conservatives from the blamer-in-chief to the least of the dems, all parroting talking points. It beats anything I've ever seen, and I'm likely not taking a lot of backwater in that department with the girls I go with.

If I thought there was any chance ObamaCare had even as much as a 50/50 chance to work I wouldn't be so worried about what's coming. I'll tell you one thing. When you're sitting in some hospital about to go through a major surgery like I have. And you're looking at your doctor and praying you survive. Don't ever kid yourself, you'll want to have the right to choose your doctor. I can't put into words how that feels. You don't know if you'll see your family again or not. It's way more than a big deal. And for this albatross Obama has hung around our neck to function, I didn't say work, I said function. Waiting lists and all the rest is coming, regardless of what supporters are saying.
