Republicans in the U.S. House are pressing ahead with an effort to repeal the Affordable Health Care Act that would bring health insurance to 30 million Americans who don’t have it.
Now the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says if health care reform is repealed it will cause a big increase in the federal budget deficit - $230 billion over the next decade and $1.2 trillion in the decade after that. The same Republicans who say they are so concerned about the deficit are using their first major vote in the House to make the deficit hundreds of billions of dollars worse.
Rightardia thinks the GOP made a strategic blunder. Jobs should have been their number one concern, not trying to undo ObamaCare which is doomed to fail. The GOP needs a real agenda, not an un-agenda.
Of interest, the GOP changed the House rules so the cost of the "repeal of ObamaCare" won't have to be reflected in the House's deficit reduction calculations.
Rightardia found this incomprehesible graphic (above) on "The Gavel" blog which John Boehner now controls. The Republicans are claiming the Affordable Health Care Act is a job killer. The graphic indicates ObamaCare does cut the deficit.
