Spending a trillion dollars on a new entitlement.Name ONE procedure used by the Dems for the current healthcare reform bill that has NOT been used by the GOP in the last 30 years.
House may try to pass Senate health-care bill without voting on it

It will end up being more than a trillion dollars.

As the links I put forth showed, the GOP's did NOTHING to control budget spending....if anything, they threw the budget out the window with their actions...and then have the nerve to act as if they didn't use the very procedures that the Dems are using now to have their way. Oh, and by the way, the Shrub & company kept financing of the Iraq invasion/occupation out of the budget for sometime....do a little honest research on how that worked out.

Let's try again.....the GOP via such luminaries as Bohner has been bullhorning that the Dems have been using unscrupulous methods to pass healthcare reform. Name ONE procedure that the Dems have used that the GOP has not.

No doubt, like any entitlement, about 7 times that.

They did nothing to increase spending.
You keep bring up the Iraq War for some reason. The GOP didn't use this tactic to pass funding for it- the Democrats voted for it as well.

Pay attention, you nit! I mention that the Iraq War was NOT included in the budget by the Shrub & company...and when that cost was included, it seriously added to the counties financial problems!And since you are either incapable or unwilling to understand how I deconstructed your "Dem only" assertions regarding deficit spending, here's another round of FACTS that you can deny/run away from:
FACT: Majority of FY 2009 deficit attributed to Bush policies

Jackass, healthcare REFORM is NOT an entitlement...or do you like having your rates jacked up without reason, or dropped/denied because you're actually sick and need the services you paid into for YEARS?
Again, name ONE procedure....NOT your general opinion....that the Dems used to pass healthcare reform that the GOP has NOT used in the last 30 years to pass bills.

Again, you failed to equate any of these policies that the GOP and Dems voted for under Bush with this new trillion dollar entitlement that the Democrats alone voted for using this reconciliation tactic.

Obamacare IS an entitlement, just like Medicare and Medicaid and anyone who has any sense can see how poorly they have been run by the government.

Look on the bright side. Remember Cheney saying the Iraq war was an option the government could afford? If health reform does nothing but increase the deficit to the point such options are removed it will be worth every penny.

Pull out your wallet. Dig deep in your pocket. Lift up the mattress. Drag that shoe box out from the back of the closet. Unwrap that package in the basement freezer labeled "dog food". It's time to give.
That's right. The bill passed. It's time to help those less fortunate. The sympathetic rhetoric is over. It's time to walk the walk!

Again, you can't lie when the chronology of the posts prove you wrong every time.
The link I provide clearly documents how the Shrub's policies contributed to the trillion dollar debt Obama INHERITED. Or are you going to take another toke on your crack pipe and say that Obama inherited a balanced budget?
$1.2 trillion of $1.4 trillion deficit was already projected before Bush left office. The CBO projected on January 7, 2009, that, including spending authorized under the Bush administration for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and government takeovers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the deficit would total $1.2 trillion. According to the CBO, the actual FY 2009 deficit was $1.4 trillion.
And it was I that challenged YOU to provide ONE instance of a procedure that the DEMS used to pass healthcare reform that the GOP did not use in the pass. To date, you haven't met the challenge.
You're just a poor liar in denial, Southie...which makes you all the more pathetic neocon parrot.

And of course your grandma and grandpa and other elderly relatives are all wealthy folk who have no medical problems and can pay out of pocket for EVERY medical procedure and perscription needed...right?

Libbie, those programs were championed by your beloved Democrat Party. Again you failed to equate any policies that the GOP rammed through under Bush with this new trillion dollar entitlement that the Democrats alone voted for.
