We Pay Politicians To Lie To Us

Proof • November 27, 2009

John Stossel points out that the “deficit reduction” in the health care bill is more misdirection and sleight of hand than reality.

It’s amazing how precise government gets when estimating the cost of 10 years of subsidized medical care. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s bill was scored not at $850 billion, but $849 billion. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said her bill would cost $871 billion.
How do they do that?
The key to magic is misdirection, fooling the audience into looking in the wrong direction.
I happily suspend disbelief when a magician says he’ll saw a woman in half. That’s entertainment. But when Harry Reid says he’ll give 30 million additional people health coverage while cutting the deficit, improving health care and reducing its cost, it’s not entertaining.

Read the whole thing.
And when the liberals try to convince you that this health care “reform” is deficit-neutral, or even more incredibly deficit-reducing, laugh in their faces.

Ok going to play devils advocate here MM:

Elinas – i am pretty sure that was an analogy. But the Dem/Libs are the modern day home for the perverts and deviants of society. Part of that diversity crowd.

The Democrats are not the only party with deviants and perverts in amongst their ranks. The Republicans also have had their fair share. No throwing rocks if you have a glass house also.

The Dem/Libs only know how to lie and spin – they have no relationship with the truth.

BOTH sides have credibility issues, one of the reasons why the Republicans lost power in the first place. I personally have a hard time believing anything a politician says (either side – We Pay Politicians To Lie To Us, I take it to mean both sides of the aisle) , and after they give me platitudes and pats on the back to tell me its all going to be ok – I have to check and make sure my wallet is still there!!

you are correct it was only analogy, I was at a union meeting several years ago when the business agent stated he would not care about the morals of any lib polition as long as he supported labor, how ever with the lack of morals we get people like the ones you mentioned and they are raised on pedistals to crap on the rest of us, that care and are trying to raise families that can go out and lead us to better futures rather than decay it more.

It’s a squirrel with delusions of grandeur. Freudian slip.
Squirrels stay in the trees and chitter at real people, as if their noise matters.

Elinas – i am pretty sure that was an analogy. But the Dem/Libs are the modern day home for the perverts and deviants of society. Part of that diversity crowd. You would not do anything about a sexual criminal if you had evidence anyway. Bill clinton is a serial rapist and known liar and we still have to listen to the idiots on you side proclaim him to have been a great presidient. The left has very low standards indeed. The analogy point being made that you obviously missed – The Dem/Libs only know how to lie and spin – they have no relationship with the truth.

I have seen enough of your posts to believe what you feel to be funny is just an attempt so off a slight preversion at least you deleated the other part of the pic. I find it hard to understand that what you taken personally bothers you when your morals are attacked how ever the last part of the post about the raise in taxes for the little we’ll get back could be nothing just like SSI the money raised in taxes will be spent on other things and not health care. Just think what you pay in taxes taken from 7.65% SSI & medicare you don’t see as being stolen and given to individuals coming to this country who have never worked a day in there lives here,are recieving benifits when elderly and disabled of people that have paied into it recieve almost nothing. My grandfather came here at 13 with a sign around his neck because he could not (1893)speek english that stated ND to be start a new life, my grandmother was born in PA also was an indentured slave in the western half of the state (nd) and neither winned about what life had delt them, what you don’t get is all the taxes what you see and don’t see unless you have met/done payrolls is money that would be kept in our pockets every tax paid dimmishes incentive to work or create jobs. some taxes need to be paid.

I find my avatar to be funny! Squirrel nuts.
I believe you must not know any liberals personally.

An analogy based on you limited knowlege of what a liberal is.

How many Dems do you know that raped their mothers and then turned around and turn ed them in for molesting them making everyone believe the lie as fact?
If you have such info post it and I will forward it to the appropriate authorities.

Mountain ,mouth, analogy or not those are harsh words, with no basis whatsoever.
What makes you think that if I had evidence about a sexual criminal, I would not do anything?
Why do you say such things?
What makes think my ethical standards are low? My daughter did not become a teenage mom with a bastard in her arms.
I did not miss any points. I learned something about you though. You have no relationship with reality.

Who don’t we pay to lie to us? Seriously?

ndoldman, Your above screed shows how little you know about the liberals and me.
Let us start with my avatar. I deleted nothing from my avatar. That you are insulted or find perverse, that which God gave human and animal males, I find strange. Is your world devoid of testicles?
You attack my morals because of what? Because of taxes? Wow!
You are wrong to believe that I like paying taxes. Or for that matter anyone paying taxes above that which is necessary and proper.
I am opposed to illegal immigration, and giving medical, monetary or any other benefit to illegal aliens.
I too am an immigrant. But in contrast to your grandparents I am educated and vocal, as to what I see as proper and just. I don’t accept predestination. I embrace life fully.
I now pay $47,000 dollars out of my own pocket (with no help from the taxpayer, or loans), and have payed my own cash for the education of my two older children. Never asked you or the government for funds to pay my children’s education. Still though, I favor public funding of education, Elementary school through university.
Always had (and still have) health insurance. Not asking you or the government to pay for mine.
As a recent immigrant from Europe, and having positive views and experiences of publicly funded medical care for all citizens, I am not opposed this great nation of ours adopt a similar system. Payrolls? Yes I know how to do payrolls. Not hard. Done it before.
So what is it about me and others liberals like me that you find so revolting?
