Arguement #12 "ObamaCare Will Save Money."

The Arguement: Your liberal friend, Lisa, cries, "I don't know why you people oppose ObamaCare. It will save us money!"
Your Arguement: "Lisa, get real! Do you know a government program that has cost what the legislators said it would? No. There isn't one. The cost has always been much more than what the politicians even dreamed it would be. In 1965 when the government started Medicare, the government assured us - I was alive then - that Part A, Medicare Hospitalization Care, would cost "only" $9 billion by 1990. It didn't: it cost $67 billion, a 744 percent increase above what the politicians said it would cost.
In 1967, the government predicted that the entire Medicaid Program would "only" cost $12 billion by 1990. It actually cost $110 billion by 1990. Not $12 billion as the government predicted, but $110 billion! This was an increase of 917 percent more than what the politicians said it would cost. You can't believe what the politicians tell you about the costs of a program. They are in La-La Land. They'll tell you whatever lies it takes to sell you on what a good deal it will be.
Lisa, the sign of good mental health is the ability to stay in contact with reality. The better your mental health, the more you can stay in contact with reality. The Liberals cannot stay in contact with reality. They lie and deny. That's one reason why I call them sick. You've got to be strong enough to look into their sick lies and find the reality, the facts. Read your local paper, watch Fox News, and if you go to the library, pick up a copy of "The Wall Street Journal" and find the editorials and essays at the end of the first section. Watch and read. Remember and evaluate. History is prelude. History shows that liberals, communists, socialists - collectivists all - sell dreams and deliver nightmares.

Peter Nickerson, MS, MSW at 352-359-0850. PS. Today, I heard for the first time Rush Limbaugh bring up that Obama voted once not to provide aid - let them die! - to new-born infants born after unsuccessful attempts to abort them. It was great to hear Rush saying this as people need to know that Obama has already participated in death panels. If Obama is so sick that he will withhold medical care, warmth, and food from newly-born babies until they die, he will surely do that to us Seniors. History is prelude.
