<p>oh it's the same horses*** as alex jones claiming 100 million americans are on welfare....there are some folks who just have to believe in drama and tragedy and impending doom. usually they don't have a fricking CLUE what they are talking about and cite numbers that circulate in forwarded emails put out by the puppet clubs for growth and the american way or such.</p>

<p>as an interesting aside, there were three generations of buffetts on charlie rose. warren buffett says the answer to our problems is to bring in more revenue and invest for the future. as far as the debt ceiling? we came out of WW2 with a national debt of 120 percent of gdp and had paid it down to 30 percent before the republican revolution...</p> LePage's figures are far off.…tag:teebeedee.ning.com,2013-10-23:1991841:Comment:16213812013-10-23T23:38:26.589ZThe Dyslexic Dodgerhttp://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/TheDyslexicDodger

<p>2.

<p>3. Despite the fact that a majority are for a universal healthcare type healthcare system like almost every other country has, they still claim the country is opposed to it.</p>
<p>4. Despite the fact that costs for Obamacare is lower than old healthcare policies, people like Hannity are deliberately having people lie about "their" experience with Obamacare -- when in fact they didn't even apply. </p>
<p>5. The same about "companies" who are letting people go because of Obamacare. Fact-Check found out these people actually did no such thing.</p>
