    Default The GOP terrorists begin their reign of insurgency. First target, health care

    The American people need to see these Republicans for what they are...TERRORISTS

    CBO Warns Republicans That Repealing Health Law Would Increase Deficit By $455 Billion

    The Congressional Budget Office is out with a new letter saying that while the health care law could reduce the projected budget deficit by $30 billion in 2020, repealing it would increase the deficit by an estimated $455 billion:

    http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/118xx/doc11820/CrapoLtr.pdf

    SO...........WHAT is the Republicans solution to increasing the deficit by an estimated $455 billion?

    GOP RULES EXEMPT COSTS OF REPEALING HEALTH CARE -

    House Republican rules for the 112th Congress exempt all sorts of tax cuts from any requirement that their deficit impact be offset -- including one they jarringly refer to as the "estate tax" (the wha??) -- but they specifically "exempt the budgetary effects of legislation repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010."

    Well.... If they repeal the portion of Obamacare which isn't paid for until after the 10-year CBO window for calculation of cost, that should take care of it. Wow... that was easy!

    The Repubs don't gave a damn about deficits. Every country with government medical results in lower costs. Every one. Not one exception.

    The Repubs have absolutely nothing to back up their lying arguments.

    that wouldn't result from repealing Obama care.....that would result from repealing the cuts to Medicare they imposed to pay for Obama care.....

    wow....talk about fear mongering and taking politics to a new low

    apparently we can't have a difference of opinion in america, if you have one different than bsbrn, you're a terrorist

    but what is truly funny in his use of the word "insurgency" is that the term has usally been applied to those fighting against a foreign invader occupying their land

    while I am intrigued with the possibility of calling congress a terrorist group, not in this instance.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    It was Republican Pete Sessions who used the word 'insurgency'. Because We, the People elected a Democrat to the White House, and that is not to be tolerated by the right wing fascists. For the GOP fascists, the health care debate was never about crafting a bipartisan bill that would help the American people, it was about handing Obama his 'Waterloo'. It was about parroting Frank Luntz talking point LIES to blow up health care reform.

    The GOP doesn't really give a shit about the deficit. They use the deficit as a reason to adopt their preferred policies when it is convenient and ignore it otherwise.

    No, I don't "support his discourse," but I think your response is pretty unhinged.

    How ironic. The last time we heard a libtard here complain about the deficit was back when Bush was President.
