Numbers speak louder than the lies from the left

I keep hearing the same argument from the left “You can keep your insurance if you want” and “we are reducing the budget by” blah blah blah.

Pick a new talking point…

3,500 companies are thinking that paying the fines and pushing retiree and current employees to Medicare might be the most economic choice for them. I might be wrong but I don’t think these employees have a choice to “keep their insurance”.

The other issue with the companies pushing employees to Medicare is the cost.

"If enough companies drop the benefit, it may jeopardize the $4.5 billion in revenue that the tax was projected to generate and shove 1.5 million to 2 million retirees off of employer-sponsored plans to Medicare, raising government costs, said the American Benefit Council’s Klein".  

This cost was not accounted for in the numbers given by the CBO. How could it be - the CBO can only give numbers for what they have in front of them.  Pelosis knew this when she "[The score] speaks very eloquently to the deficit reduction that is in our package". LIES!

recently graduated from the University of Michigan, earning her BS with a concentration in Ecology and a double minor in Field Biology & Geography. Despite her scientific background, politics is her true passion. Kristen has always been on the conservative end of the political spectrum – a rarity among college-aged Michiganders – but has never felt the pull of liberalism. To the great relief of her boyfriend and others subjected to her ranting, she developed Angry Female Elephant in October of 2008 as a forum for her political frustration.

On November 5th, 2009, a day when conservatives around the country were still in mourning, she found a new motivation to change the direction of her country and threw herself into online activism. Several months later she discovered Smart Girl Politics, and knew she’d found an organization that would connect her with other conservative women who were as ready for action as she was. She dove in feet first and volunteered wherever she could. Kristen is currently acting as the Director of Operations.
