The Obamacare spin machine goes into full motion

    Hey, I just spent almost a week in Chicago, which is quite an adventure for a small town retiree. The city moves like an underground river all the time, people everywhere, walking, celebrating, running. It's certainly a beautiful and interesting city.
  One thing I noticed is that flyers advertising Obamacare were everywhere. And I mean, everywhere.
  They were on doorknobs, on sidewalks, on the streets. 
 
  Of course, on the back of this advert was a Spanish version with a Hispanic mother and daughter. It's pretty interesting that adult males are never featured. Just the poor defenseless females without providers, sorta like the unforgettable Julia.
  Let's not forget the billboards:

  Because, you know, your dog really wants you to stay healthy so it can have a free ride too.
  This campaign was funded by an HHS grant. Speaking of, did you know that the Obamabots will have spent at least $52 million in three months to advertise Obamacare alone?
  The Daily Caller figures this to be $17 per signup in the first two months of this year alone.
  Indeed, an article at The Greenville Post lists the figures of what these advertising campaigns are costing American taxpayers. The money set aside for advertising in Section 4002 of the ACA is revealed here:
In 2010 it is $500 million, in 2011, $750 million; in 2012, $1 billion; in 2013, $1.25 billion; in 2014, $1.5 billion; and for 2015 and thereafter, $2 billion!  For Congress to appropriate that much money to promote legislation that kills health care underwriting while raising health care insurance costs through a myriad of new taxes, fees and compliance requirements, is obscene.
  We might mention that one of the reasons the administration can afford to do this is cutting back on services: that is, rationing, which is already started. 
  Two billion dollars a year to hang tags on doors in Chicago while turning down a Medicare request for a new knee.
  Leftists are still in denial about the disaster that is their signature legislation, blaming recent events on the boogeymen Koch brothers and "low turnout," which to a Democrat simply means the dead did not turn out to vote.
  No, no, no. It's not Obamacare.
  It's low turnout.
  And the wealthy libertarian Koch brothers.

  1. I just don't understand the left wing folks with money and a brain... I mean really .. if your heart bleeds so much, just give the people the money that Washington keeps spending to try to make this stupid thing work. You cannot spend more money to make this more attractive... it is just spending more money. Does anyone in Washington have a backbone or feel any sense of shame or disgust over this huge waste of money ... if not .... from either party..they must go.
