Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan keep telling us that President Obama is taking $716 Billion from Medicare and after researching the facts, it is just not true. The Non Partisan Congressional Budget Office reports that President Obama's plan is estimated to SAVE $716 Billion over the next 10 years. President Obama's plan SAVES NOT TAKES FROM MEDICARE. The Washington Post and the New York Times stated Romney and Ryan made several false statements during their speeches at the Republican National Convention. The Republicans keep spending millions on False Advertising. I'm an Independent who is getting tired of the Republicans crying Wolf. Doesn't the truth matter anymore ? |

balraven44, I realize what Obamacare is and its the same as Romneycare in Massachusetts. Both were designed by the same M.I.T. economist. Romney ranted and raved about it, but now of course attacks Obamacare. He promises to repeal the same healthcare program he instituted himself. I smell a hypocrite. It has been a success, but Romney must keep it quiet. If you dont want to believe non - partisan sources, like CBO, Politifact, Wash Post, NY Times, then thats up to you. I know, the Congressional Budget Office is full of imbeciles, especially when they report something that doesn't match a certain agenda. I guess we should just listen and believe everything on the Fox channels or Rush Limbaugh for the facts. Speaking of crying wolf, have you fact checked any of the latest Romney/ Ryan ads ? 1) Obama allowing people to stay on welfare attack ad - False, 2) Obama taking $716 billion from Medicare attack ad- False, 3) Obama closing a Wisconson G.M. plant attack ad - False. How many lies from Romney and Ryan do we have to listen to before we hear some truths ? Romney keeps spending millions spreading his lies about Obama and hoping enough people buy it. The Republican Voter Suppression Act in swing states might help too. We dont want all Americans to vote, that might look like a Democracy.

Romney and Ryan along with countless Republican candidates keep telling the same lies about President Obama taking $716 Billion from Medicare, when the Congressional Budget Office confirms that President Obama's plan SAVES $ 716 Billion for Medicare over 10 years. If these candidates keep telling us proven lies, how can we trust them in office ? Doesn't the truth matter ? They keep saying these lies hoping some of us will believe them. Brainwashing us with lies. They know President Obama's plan saves us money, but they dont care about us, its about WINNING.Response to Re: The $716 Billion Medicare Falsehood: balraven44, I realize what Obamacare is and its the same as Romneycare in Massachusetts.
