[QUOTE="brett636, post: 573656, member: 249"] You really should stop copying/pasting one of Obama's speeches on healthcare. If you really believe this will not add to the federal deficit I have some ocean front property in Nebraska to sell you. Government program costs are grossly understated, and tax revenues from new taxes will be overstated. Its always happened, and probably always will. For example, before the first prescription was filled under the Medicare prescription drug bill signed by President Bush the cost of the program had already tripled from its original $300 billion to close to $900 billion. When the government raises taxes to pay for programs like this the expected tax revenues and true tax revenues are different because people change their behavior in order to avoid the tax. Oh yea, and BTW, even the CBO has said this bill will not reduce healthcare costs. So the future deficit issues we face will not be any better than they are today. Don't be so niave when it comes to this. The government is no better at solving this issue than they are at running Social Security or Medicare. Its nothing more Obama and his democratic cronies attempt to gain control of nearly 18% of our economy and American livelihoods in the process. [/QUOTE]
