Spoon-Feeding The Bullshit: Federal Government “Will Go Bankrupt” Without Obamacare - With Video
President Obama told ABC News’ Charles Gibson in an interview that if Congress does not pass health care legislation that will bring down costs, the federal government “will go bankrupt.”
The president laid out a dire scenario of what will happen if his health care reform effort fails.
“If we don’t pass it, here’s the guarantee….your premiums will go up, your employers are going to load up more costs on you,” he said. “Potentially they’re going to drop your coverage, because they just can’t afford an increase of 25 percent, 30 percent in terms of the costs of providing health care to employees each and every year. “
The president said that the costs of Medicare and Medicaid are on an “unsustainable” trajectory and if there is no action taken to bring them down, “the federal government will go bankrupt.”
“This actually provides us the best chance of starting to bend the cost curve on the government expenditures in Medicare and Medicaid,” Obama said.
Obama told Gibson that anybody who says they are concerned about the rising deficit or worried about tax increases in the future has to support this health care bill.
“Because if we don’t do this, nobody argues with the fact that health care costs are going to consume the entire federal budget,” the president said.
Obama is facing an increasingly skeptical American public when it comes to his push for health care reform.
The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll found that support for the health care reform package, while never robust, is now at a low ebb and opposition has been steadily growing stronger in intensity.
For the first time, a majority of those surveyed disapproved of the president’s work on health care (53 percent) and oppose the health care reform package making its way through Congress (51 percent, compared to 44 percent approval).
That seven-point margin for opposition is its most to date — indeed statistically significant for the first time — and the differential in intensity of sentiment has grown since September.

Well, we might go bankrupt without ObamaBarf. But we’ll go bankrupt about 5x as fast with it. Obama, people are NOT this dumb! Well, Libs are.
You beat me to the punch on this one. Don’t you just love the fear and intimidation of the Liberal Left; always playing on the fears of the weak to pass this bovine excrement to extort billions from a population that has already been bled to the point of anemia.
I’m really beginning to wonder what the Liberal definition of “bankrupt” really is. Quite obviously it is running up a larger bill and kicking responsibility well into the next millenna. The continuous spending of Congress would be laughable in any other Banana Republic, but in America this is tantamount to treason, in my opinion. All the whining Queen Nancy did over the Bush admin spending; well she has top that by several trillions.
I once thought these people doing this were mentally deranged but now I truly believe they are Satanically possessed.
Chavez got nuthin’ on Barry the Pimp.
I don’t know what kind of health care reform will come out of this session, but I strongly suspect it won’t be much. There is, however a silver lining behind this very dark cloud. I am reminded of the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Don’t be embarrassed if you’ve never heard of it, there really isn’t a hell of a lot to remember about it; a mere pittance, really - a scrap of leftovers tossed out to “American Negros” (in the parlance of the age) in order to appease them. But it made the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 - the one we remember - all-the-more easier seven years later.
We’ll live to fight another day

News flash: The government is *already* bankrupt. It’s just running on momentum. And the printing presses.
