Seeing hypocrisy in health plan support

When the Democrats took over Congress in 2007 the national debt was $8 trillion. In only four years, under their leadership, it has risen to $14.3 trillion. By the end of Obama’s term the debt will be over $17 trillion by his own estimates. That’s more than double what it was in just six short years.

Now he speaks about his concern for the debt. So his response is to run $3 trillion in more deficits in 2011 and 2012? As always don’t listen to his words, watch his actions. And he promised his health care plan would save money. His plan is so good that he has given over 1,000 waivers — half of which have gone as paybacks to unions and 20 percent to Nancy Pelosi’s district and to Harry Reid’s Nevada. Both were the biggest supporters of his plan, yet they asked for and received waivers. Apparently it’s not that good for them.
