So in other words, Congress can extend health insurance coverage to the vast majority of Americans over a ten year period for about one-seventh the cost of the Iraq War to date. I wonder which expenditure will leave our country better off in the long run?

jonas - doesn't matter - obamarahma and dems are all going to support endless wars.

obamarahma has a secret commission, packed with folks that have wanted to eliminate social security for years, looking at ways to cut the budget.

Endless wars are not even on the table...

obamarahma sold out his progressive debate on REAL reform, used bait-and-switch to create an insurance industry bail out, and will soon be cutting the most successful federal program of all time.

All because they, like dur chimpfurher and the repugs, demand funding endless wars.

So how's dat hopey changey thing work out fer ya?

"So how's dat hopey changey thing work out fer ya?"

Pretty darned good. The economy is on the mend. We have health care reform, and cap and trade looks like it's on the way. Financial reform is coming along nicely. We're winding down in Iraq, and things seems to be improving in Afghanistan.

How's that paranoia thingy workin' out for you, joe?

JPS - I see the brainwashing works pretty good for you.

obama is nothing more and nothing less than a corporate shill. There has been no meaningful desecalation in iraq and the use of private contractors has INCREASED.

Endless wars are far as the eye can see, and fools like you want to proclaim its all good.

Just wait til obamas secret commission, packed with anti social security folks, proclaims we need to cut programs like this while military expenditures increase (and are off the table).

New boss, same as the old and dick cheney is still laughing all the way to the bank.

And folks like you say, "it is good!"

Last I looked, moron, REAL unemployment was almost 20 percent, you call that "on the mend"?

Job creation is hundreds of thousands short of where it needs to be, this despite MASSIVE give-aways to auto industry and wall street.

But obamarahma doesn't miss an opportunity to lie - proclaiming gm repaid its tarp loans - WRONG - they just shuffled around TARP monies!

There is not meaningful indication economy is on the mend - for every bogus figure cited as "proof" there are even more verifiable numbers to show you its a lie.

hopey changey = corporate scam-master

So the Repubs are not going to read or study this well and just distort as usual. As you said,nothing to see here but the usual stuff. As for 'hopie changie thing'..for me it is working out quite well in fact! Glad everyone asks!
I approve of everything Obama has done except the wars... I want them ended NOW.

Joe, you do know that crack is whack. You shouldn't smoke it while blogging, because as we see, it can result in the nonsensical jibberish that you have already typed. Step away from the pipe, Joe. Rehab is your friend.

joey joe joe. You really must seek treatment.

Life is so much harder when you struggle to cling to your worldview, in the face of facts which contradict it.

$115B over 10 years = $11.5B per.

Republicans are "upset" at this large number. Remember that in this context (linked to on this site)...Red States post on Cantor's gimmick...
"It’s a total of less than $6 billion in possible cuts against an annual budget that is over $1.6 trillion in the red. The total cuts offered amount to less than 1/2 of 1 percent if the budget.
...
Nice try Eric, but we don’t find parlour tricks entertaining right now."

The extra cost is double the Cantor gimmick (6B vs. 11.5B), still less than 1/2 of 1%, .oo7% to be exact.

Just remember that....

Grow up, get a life.
