Obama To Risk Lives Of Americans For Political Gain

Barack Obama is sending 30,000 Americans to Afghanistan and not the 40,000 that General David McCrystal said were required for victory.

Why?

Since being elected, Obama has likely been privy to information that has dispelled some of his childish naivete about the world although certainly not all, far from it.  Obama knows that the US cannot leave Afghanistan.  He also knows that his political base, which shares his naive ideology, does not want the US there.

So what does Obama do?  Instead of making a decision to lead America to victory by acting on the advice of the general he appointed he has decided to do what he was told would lead to an American defeat and in doing so Obama is risking the lives of Americans in Afghanistan and ultimately in America.

Now Obama and the Socialist-Democrats are engaging in the deplorable act of attempting to further politicize the effort in Afghanistan and divide Americans against each other by suggesting that some Americans pay a “war tax” to fund the effort. 

Apparently the socialists believe that there is all of a sudden no money to pay for national defense but there is plenty to go around for entitlement programs like socialist health care.  To put that in perspective, the new effort in Afghanistan is $40B while Obama care is being misrepresented by the Socialist-Democrats 40 times that much (i.e., >$1.5T) but will almost certainly cost closer to $9T over only 6 years.  Furthermore, excluding Obamacare, the CBO has estimated the rest of Obama’s economic policies to add an additional $10T to the US debt which stood at $10T at the time.  Since then Obama has run the US debt to $12T in less than 9 months.

This is the same tactic that the Democrats have been using for years: divide Americans and set them against each other in an imaginary class war that they create through nothing more than their politics.  This is the same strategy that was employed by every socialist leader in the 20th century including Hitler, Stalin and Mao.  With Americans fighting each other the aim is that most will not recognize the real enemy: their own government.

Obama has once again proven himself to be a selfish, ego-centric incompetent idealogue who has no regard for anything or anyone other than what is good for his own political career and advancing the tyranny of his socialist ideaological agenda.

Government-run Healthcare Costs Skyrocket … and it hasn’t even gotten started

Just a few weeks ago Nancy Peloci, Harry Reid and all Obamanites the nation over were heralding the fact that Obamacare would be “budget neutral”.  Budget neutral means that it would not increase the size of the existing budget.  The CBO stated that as their proposal was written, it would be budget neutral.  There were a few catches however.

• The CBO was skeptical that the things in the plan which made it budget neutral could in fact be done.  This was like the Socialist/Democrats saying “If our pig could fly…” and the CBO responding “Well maybe, if your pig could fly.”
• Budget neutral means that the program would not increase the size of the budget.  The budget is deficit spending.  Maintaining the same level of spending is not an option.
• The only way they could arrive at a claim of budget neutral is with hundreds of billions in new taxes and claiming that they were going to cut Medicare/Medicaid funding by hundreds of billions more.  While everybody believes that they will raise taxes tremendously, tax increases have never provided the projected amount because raising taxes hurts the economy and people create less wealth and therefore make less money for the government to seize.  Simply put: the pie gets smaller.  And nobody believes that the Socialist/Democrats will cut funding to any socialist or entitlement program nevermind cutting hundreds of billions of dollars.  It is all simply fantasy but necessary to make the numbers appear to work.
• The proposal was budget neutral by less than 1%.  They claimed an $80B savings over ten years on a plan that would cost $856B.  That means if they are off by anywhere near 1% this program is a failure.  There is simply no way that they are that close in their cost estimates over a ten-year period.  All US medical government-run programs have underestimated costs by nearly 900%.  There is no reason at all to belive that this plan will not follow the same trend of explosive, uncontrolled cost over-runs and that brings us to the Socialist/Democrats new plan.

The new and improved version has been out for a few days and the preliminary figures are in.  The new and improved plan will come in at $1.2T.  Yes, it will be 43% more expensive than what they told Americans it would cost only a few weeks ago.  And these are the most optimistic numbers possible because they come from the people who are trying so desperately to pass it: the Socialist/Democrats.  Using the results of every US government-run medical program the reality is that this new program will end up costing Americans $10.8T.  With that single plan, Obamacare, Obama, Pelosi, Harry Reid, the Socialist/Democrats and all who support it will have doubled the existing national debt.  This is on top of the additional spending by Obama which the CBO has concluded will add an additional $9-10T.

Every government-run program in history has grown well beyond what the government so confidently projected.  In only a few weeks Obamacare has gone from $774B to $859B to $1,200B (i.e., $1.2T).  It has nearly doubled!  Again, keep in mind that those costs are not the real costs.  The government’s history on such matters shows the real cost will be about 900% higher or $10.2T as the proposed version of Obamacare stands currently.

Obama promised change you can believe in.  The Obama agenda and that of the Socialist/Democratic Party is, and has always been, to change the US into something that resembles Castro’s Cuba, Stalin’s USSR or Mao’s China.  Believe it.
