White House 'Reality Check’ Web Site Claims Health Care Reform ‘Would Not Add One Penny to Deficit’ Despite CBO Reports to Contrary

(CNSNews.com) – A new Web site launched Monday by the Obama administration to rebut alleged disinformation about the administration's efforts to reform the health care system claims that reform “would not add one penny to the deficit"--despite the fact that the two health care reform bills that have been analyzed by the Congressional Budget Office are predicted by the CBO to increase the national debt by $239 billion and $1.042 trillion respectively.

The administration, meanwhile, has not produced any health-care reform legislation that has been independently determined to be deficit-neutral.
 
Appearing on CNN yesterday, Linda Douglass, communications director for the White House Office of Health Reform, said that the new Web site that premiered today has been designed to defeat disinformation and make sure people "can get the facts" about health care reform.

"You know, one of the things we're going to be doing this week is making available a Web site where people can go to get the facts about health insurance reform," Douglass said in an interview with CNN's Howard Kurtz. "There's a lot of misinformation, and there is, as I said in the video, a lot of disinformation. That's information that's meant to mislead you. So, we're going to have a new site where people can go, they can get the facts, they can share it with family and friends."

But in its first day of operation the Web site claimed that the reform "will not add one penny to the deficit," a claim that cannot be made for any bill that has been drafted in Congress and analyzed by the CBO.

Lord Zer0 has a new dis-information website.  You'd think he'd be able to get the CBO to lie for him.  Rookie.   :whatever:

Yeah, I've heard language like this before. It too turned out to be a buncha bullshit.

Who in this country is stupid enough to believe that BS? More importantly, why are they allowed to vote?

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

I think a part of that quote was left out.

"would not add one penny to the deficit, but would instead add several hundred trillion pennies to the deficit"
There, it's fixed now...

The One, "I cannot tell a lie. Lying is the only way I know."
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

If I'm not mistaken he has another part of his anatomy in mind for bringing into close proximity with our ass cheeks.

Hope you brought vaseline.

It helps explain why 13 members of the MSM are now on his staff.
Liberalism Is The Philosophy Of The Stupid

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years.  The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.
