Did anyone really not see this coming? The Obama White House just got slammed by two government agencies charged with analyzing the costs of ObamaCare. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reported yesterday that the healthcare "reform" legislation will not, as President Obama repeatedly promised, reduce health care costs. To the contrary, it will "increase national health care spending by $311 BILLION" over the next decade.
Previously, anyone who said that more government intervention would lead to higer costs was accused of making "bogus" and "wild" claims. But according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, it was Barack Obama who was making bogus claims.
I has serious questions about whether even President Obama believed the words he spoke when he made his pronouncements. It was very obvious, at least to the majority of Americans, that the health care bill had become more a referendum on the Presidency than reasonable, fair and balanced legislation which would help the average citizen keep their health care costs down. Yet the power of the few who were allegedly our representatives, over ruled the majority of everyday citizens and got this overwhelming legislation passed.
Personal responsibility and self determination -- two cornerstones of my belief in the beauty of being an American citizen. Over the past 40 years or so, we have seemed to abbrogate our rights and responsibilites to the Federal government. We have allowed the Federal Government, by small degrees, over a long period, to becoma an omnipotent entity which does whatever it chooses as long as it can exert more control over the masses. The end result is a government which has become morally and financially bankrupt. And it is taking us all down with it.

It is well past time to pull in the reins on the Federal Government and return America to the principles which make us, the citizens of this country the most free and united citizens of the the world. If we don’t, we will be spending ALL of our money in support of Federal policies which we don’t support.
