So says the CBO in an updated analysis. $540 Billion over 10 years.
And – wait for it – repealing the bill would also eliminate $770 billion in taxes. It’s the tax hikes in the health care law (along with the Medicare cuts) which accounts for the $230 billion in deficit reduction.
Heh heh. Yeah. Work it, Congress. 236-181.

Pres(id)ent Obama, back when he was but a Senator actually said he was against raising the debt limit (in 2006).
Four short years ago. So what’s changed, POTUS? Just how big a credit card balance owed must we have?
Hypocrisy (my definition) – having, cough, leaders telling us we consume in excess … turn around and spend excessively themselves. Moreso than past administrations have ever done.
Truly desstined for the history books. But, I have news for Congress and tthe POTUS – you are not going to like how the history books read.

The UK is just now finding out how much they are going to have to shell out when replacing their light bulbs.
Seems they banned incandescent light bulbs. This ban took effect the start of this year. They can’t buy (stock up) 100W bulbs now and won’t be able to get 60W bulbs starting next year. Which means the manufacturers of the newer, less power hungry compact florescent bulbs can likely drive wholesale prices upward.
Do you hear this, Fred Upton? I hope you maintain your “switched” position and undo your 3-year past legislation to ban such light bulbs here in the U.S.

Which explains a lot and why he cannot seem to focus.

Not here – just yet. But look where it is – Bolivia. Up 73% for gas and up 83% for diesel.
A rather unhappy start for the new year. Question is, how and when will this impact us?

In case you didn’t know from earmarks, there are also lettermarks and phonemarks that Congress uses to funnel monies in directions they want it to go.
Happy now? No? Then you should read this piece by Allahpundit at Hot Air.
Stay mad, vote in 2012 – and beyond – for those you know are conservative (and don ‘t just say it). Learn to submit FOIA requests to try and make the government own up.
Don’t give up.

According to Senator Tom Coburn (R-Okla.). He warned Sunday of “apocalyptic pain” if the government does not change course on its spending.
Gee, it’s not like we haven’t heard this before. Or said it ourselves.
I have never heard of a union creating jobs, have you?
Historically, unions came about to protect the rights of employees – of companies that were made by the businessmen that had the vision to devise and sell products.
Has a union ever done that? (And I am not referring to a company that was literally handed over to a union, cough – GM, by our, cough – administration.)
Well, look who’s in discussion about creating jobs.
Somebody isn’t learning. Or even listening.

Obama Returns to End-of-Life Plan That Caused Stir
By ROBERT PEAR
Published: December 25, 2010
WASHINGTON — When a proposal to encourage end-of-life planning touched off a political storm over “death panels,” Democrats dropped it from legislation to overhaul the health care system. But the Obama administration will achieve the same goal by regulation, starting Jan. 1.
More.
So “death panels” becomes “die soon options”? How magnanimous of our elected officials.
Merry Christmas, kids. The adults idiots have spoken.
