of every hour, of everyday, it seems that Republicans work to come up with hot topics, to get people pissed off. They give you a snapshot, and go, "SEE, SEE here - it's terrible, just like I said."
Obamacare. If you listen to the Republicans, listen to our so called president, you would THINK that it IS THE INSURANCE PLAN the covers most everyone in America.
So, what are we actually talking about? 320 million people live in America. How many are covered by the provisions of OBAMACARE?
Listening to the so called president when he was campaigning - 100%, because he was claiming that EVERYBODY'S health care, was going to increase. As I was on here saying during the election, mine, and some others that chimed in, our costs went up very, very little.
So how many, percent of the population? How about this - 10 to 11 million people are covered by OBAMACARE. That amounts to roughly 3.5% of America. 3.5% that are actually covered under this program. But here it was - a hot button topic, that the Republicans were able to exploit, and piss people off about. And people never go out, and do the work it takes to find out just how much these people are lying to the American people. And it's a continuous feed of this stuff, to get people angry. People make mistakes when they are angry, scared and stressed. And that's the state Republicans want the American people in.
Look at the campaign....it was campaign of fear. They are exploiting a human weakness to the max. And it works...it works every election.
OK - back to Obamacare. Of that 3.5% of the American population that's on Obamacare, many get credits to help offset the cost. We know a family in Oklahoma City - very poor - and their Obamacare policy was costing them $125.00 after the credits they got - and they were complaining about how high their health insurance was. See, it's all a matter of perception.
The Republicans - what were they saying during the election? We all heard it. EVERYONE's HEALTH CARE WAS GOING TO GO THROUGH THE ROOF!!!!! Guess what? Mine didn't. 96.5% of Americans probably didn't. But we have a group that is very vocal, and they don't really lie, when they put a lot of this stuff out. They only tell the portion of the truth that they want you to see, even if, like Obamacare, it really is a very small part of the whole.
Today for example. BA is on here, getting everyone pissed off about the babies in Arizona that are paid for by Medicaid. "My God - we have to do something!!" Again - hot button - made to piss people off. Because, these Republican's know, that America is going to associate Arizona with Mexican babies, and we're paying for all the illegals, and certainly this is all the fault of Obama.
I took one state at random. Michigan. At the end of President Bush's term, 43% of babies were paid for by Medicaid. At the end of Obama's term, it was 44%.

But that's how they do it people. Can't you see - that you that have drank the Kool aid that these people give you, are leading you by a nose ring. And you don't even know it. And Allen, if your reading this....that's you. You don't go beyond what you've been fed. You don't dig farther into the facts, because, "You know it all". You know what you have been fed. And you are being fed constantly, a constant push out of partial facts, to keep people like you pissed off, and not thinking for themselves.
And they have done this for years. For many years, they were able to rely on the abortion issue. Lost that. Then the Gay marriage issue. Lost that. Then the Tranny issue, the bathroom issue, the health insurance issue, the illegal's issue. And this last election, it was ALL of them, because they needed ALL OF THEM to get our so called president elected, and then barely so.
Until we as Americans wake up, and see what these people are doing on a continuous basis to the populace of America, we will keep getting stooges in place of a president. And when we actually do have a president that is worth something, that cares about the people and the environment, the Republicans do everything they can, to flush him down the toilet.
Yes - America is in trouble. But it's not for the reasons the Republicans are stating. It's because we are being fed information, that is not the truth. And won't take the steps necessary, to see what is actually the truth.
Tick Tock....BONG!!!!
