smoke and mirrors rough

Obama’s savvy economic, domestic, and foreign affairs agendas that were hyped during his eloquent campaign speeches have kept a population on their toes, anxiously waiting for this promised "change" to take effect. Now, nine months later, and with dismal approval ratings, Obama’s reliance on his charismatic, saves-the-day veneer is beginning to look as if he was using it to compensate for lack of executive leadership skills. This in turn has resulted in a budget, so large that it has already eclipsed Bush’s staggering budget numbers. But the worst has yet to come. As congress is struggling to produce a coherent health care reform bill, numbers aren’t adding up, and Obama’s deception is slowly, but surely beginning to unravel.
By now most Americans are aware of Joe Wilson, the man who was crucified for (disrespectfully) catching Obama in a lie over whether the "public option" would cover illegal immigrants. Throughout the recent bull rush for health care reform, Obama has consistently reminded Americans of the 47 million other Americans struggling to survive without health insurance. However, when this number is broken down, this 47 million struggling Americans can be reduced to about 8 million struggling Americans. About 25 million are illegal immigrants, and the remaining 14 million people are either those who can afford insurance, but opt not to buy it, or are people who are poor enough to qualify for the already available government health insurance plan. So, although Wilson’s remark may not have been made in the most orthodox manner, it seems as if he did in fact catch Obama in a lie; but not quite.
About two or three days ago, Obama announced that he has plans on legalizing all of the illegal immigrants in this country so that they can be covered by the public health option. Therefore, the public health option would not cover any illegal immigrants, because there would not be any. Here, instead of lying, Obama used political rhetoric, and manipulated laws in order to evade opposition to his political Swan song. In other words, he deceived the public by not mentioning his plans to legalize illegal immigrants.
The repercussions of this health care structure are severe. As of now, Obama is insisting that health care overall will only cost one trillion dollars over a period of ten years, without any tax hikes. However, many experts project that cost to be upwards around 9 trillion dollars after only 8 years. Add in the unknown myriad of illegal immigrants, no tax increases, and America’s exorbitant deficit, leaving the means for America to pay for this overhaul to be non-existent. In short, nine trillion dollars does not appear out of no where.
