Senator Cites New Budget Letter to Argue Health Care Bill Will Hike Deficit

"The real score on this legislation is that it would cause the deficit to increase, and not be a surplus as the president has promised. And a lot members of our Congress have said I won't vote for this bill unless it's deficit neutral. It's not deficit neutral. It will add to the debt. That's clear today."

Once again we see deceptive proponents of this healthcare bill manipulate information.

The monstrosity’s cloture was voted in the dead of night, for heaven’s sake. Right there it tells us it cannot stand the light of day!

Now we’ll see what these puppets of the COMMUNIST LOBBY will do. Vote for the bill I bet. It depends on what the definition of deficit neutral is.

American patriots throughout this great nation and those few in Congress…keep fighting the good fight!

We must never, ever give up and/or give in! The lives and the futures of our children are at stake!

THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY!

1. GETTING INFORMED

Media Matters would call this ‘misinformation’.

The Senate Democrats are signing their pink slips. America is not going to put up with corruption or scandal, and especially not these backdoor trick filled deals and bills. Get ready to be removed.

NEWSBREAK:
Nancy Pelosi is under investigation for the second day on http://www.americanparchment.com for all the shady deals, bribery, slander, etc that she has done. I guess there is so much evidence of her corruption it couldn’t fit in one day. She will be tried by the people her next election period, except for the fact that her area is full of liberals who don’t care about ethics and just want their agenda passed. #22 of the ‘31 Corrupt Politicians in 31 Days.’

Democrats don’t give crap about America OR Americans!!!!

frankly   December 23rd, 2009 - 9:14 pm

OF COURSE it adds to the deficit! NOONE in Washington DC is going to cut Medicare $500 billions! This just another lie by the Marxist led Democrats that apparently do not care about the fiscal catastrophe that this country is headed for.

How the heck does every state get special deals under the health care deal, like Sen. Schumer said??
If every state gets something, how is it a special deal?????

“Mr. President: T’was the night before Christmas

It was the night before Christmas, and all through the Senate
The right held up our health care bill, because NO ONE knows what is in it
The people had NOT voted for this type of mandated reform
But Republicans battened the hatches for the gathering storm
We have to stop up the Senate, they cried things are grim
And in the midterm elections, let’s get conservatives in
Everyone knows regular folks needed help right this second
But for the Democrats a great crisis beckoned
So try as they might, Democrats just could not win
Then the greedy Democrats cried, Let the PAYOFFS BEGIN!!
Then across every state there rose such a clatter
The whole senate rushed out to see what was the matter
All sprang up from their desk and ran from the floor
Straight through the cloakroom and right out the door

And what in the world would be quite so raucous?
But a mandate for change from the Leftist Democrat caucus
So a great pile of crap came from that clown Max Bacsus
Had answered the call in our hour of GREED
More rapid than eagles, the payoffs they came
And they whistled and shouted and called them by name
On Nelson, on Landfill, On Dodd just to name but a few
Unaccountable options. We screamed, “Yes, we CON” and the spittle it flew!
No exclusions or changes for preexisting conditions
Let’s pass a bill that will cause single payer, alright?
The Democrats all came together after the bribing to fight
For the SCREWING of the American people that Christmas Eve night

And then like a tinkle, I took under the dome
The roll call was closed, and it was time to go home
Despite the brave tactics the Republicans lost
The filibuster was broken, so screw the taxpayer they’ll pay the ‘real’ cost!
And a GREAT PUTRID bill was ready for President Obama
Ready to sign and end health care drama
Democrats exclaimed as their private jets went out of sight
Screw you suckers, rationed coverage for all, ESPECIALLY our friends on the right.”

To Roger; Schumer was refering to ONLY the democRATS that sold themselves…
