Is it a coincidence that the massive health care overhaul won't take effect until after the 2012 elections?
"Let's hurry up and pass this thing so we can start to help people four years from now!"
If it's so urgent that we have to pass it immediately, why not put it in place immediately?
Two reasons.
1. So it will still be a theoretical that they can spin however they want when Obama runs for reelection.
2. Because costs are scored over a 10 year period, so Dems can put 10 years of taxes against 7 years of expenses and give Americans a bogus price tag.

Nope, a carefully laid out plan of deception, in fact.
That way, Democrats get reelected, before the Shite hits the fan.
The CBO projections on health care costs are also based on 10 years, 4 of them being before anything is spent, so do the math.
Obama can make up whatever he wants about the health care bill, simulus, etc. and not have to face the ugly results until after the election. He knows it will be bad.

because of the fact its a extensive undertaking and it needs time to place in writing the varieties, make and set coverage, hire and prepare the persons, locate the persons who can lead the organization. Its no longer a mushroom that could basically pop up after a rainstorm. Its been mandatory for particularly a on an identical time as, and in case you desire the liberty to bypass broke determining to purchase a scientific emergency, properly, its unusual yet bypass forward. I won't give up you. or perhaps you desire the liberty to pay an assurance company that denies you assurance you concept you paid for...in case you're interior the well being midsection, after which you come across you won't be able to get assurance at any value considering which you have a preexisting concern. Frankly it incredibly isn't a freedom one might envy. funds for clunkers is an exceedingly easy plan, no the place close to as complicated because of the fact the variety of ills and styles of meds and hospitalizations and coverings healthcare demands. and its been this variety of fulfillment and getting gas guzzlers off the line that its been prolonged. So we finally end up with purifier air, and much less dependency on distant places oil. I have not any concept what the constitutional argument against well being care is approximately. The shape mentions no longer something approximately well being care, or roads. Nor does it point out abortion yet human beings on the different area desire that to be banned.

No, it's not coincidence. It's not coincidence that the bulk of the stimulus money isn't slated to be spent until 2010 either. Nor is it coincidental that the ten year budget plan shows for a greatly reduced deficit for the year 2012, then shows it shooting right back up in 2013 and beyond. Everything this administration does is done to create favorable conditions during election cycles.

Its funny that what he promised would only take a short amount of time after he was elected turns out to be an 8 year thing.
He's been president for enough time to make at least some progress on his big CHANGE.
Its not even that he also promised little things like transparency and he isn't living up to that either and that doesn't take years to accomplish its an everyday thing

They are going to dump the costs of their spending on the next administration, and saddle them with medical debts as well.
