In its pathological, demented hatred of doing anything that might benefit the "unworthy" among us, or make the "guvmint" more powerful or (God forbid!) actually help the poor, the screeching Radical Right has demanded that what they call "Obamacare" be repealed NOW NOW NOW! (They're either too stupid or too uninformed to realize that a lot of the people who stand to benefit from the ACA are people just like themselves.) Naturally, Willard, seeking to suck up to these wretched cretins, has promised to repeal this hugely beneficial law as soon as he can. He claims that doing so will save money because the ACA will "increase the deficit by $95 billion."
There's just one thing: THAT'S AN UTTER, OUT-AND-OUT LIE.
Let me refer you to this little item here:
...according to the CBO analysis, a full repeal of the bill would reduce the deficit by $16 billion in 2016, much less than the number Romney cited.
And then there’s the broader picture: When the CBO looked at the first 10 years of repeal, from 2012 to 2021, it found that repeal added $210 billion to the deficit. So the deficit would actually be lower if the law is not repealed.
Just a stupid mistake by Mittens? Willard's not stupid. He's as phony as a $3 bill, but he's not stupid. When he says "repealing Obamacare will lower the deficit", he's not making a stupid mistake.
HE'S LYING.
