Not at all surprising. In 1966 the House Ways and Means Committee estimated that Medicare would cost about $ 12 billion by 1990 (INCLUDING inflation). But in 1990 Medicare actually cost $107 B. ObamaCare could cost $Trillions 20 years from now.

As Margaret Thatcher said "They [socialists] always run out of other people's money. It's quite a characteristic of them." [Thames TV This Week on Feb. 5, 1976]

Will Pelosi and those like her ever be held accountable for stealing $trillions from the public? their scheme is as dishonest and irresponsible as anything Kenneth Lay, Andrew Fastow and Bernie Madoff - and 100x more costly.

True - the Republicans were feckless and pretentious, and the Democrats actively protecting.

I guess you were in a coma from 9/11 through 11/6?

The congressmen gave speeches, Hillary skated. They should have skipped the pontification, and given her more direct questions, had her describe the events in her own words. Almost no new information gained. This isn't going to go anywhere.

Glad to see the press (from several organizations) pushing on this. Too bad they spent the first week attacking Romney for bad timing in criticizing the administration for apologizing for the video. (of course even Romney underestimated just how far they'd take the video-as-root-cause story.)

Let me get this straight - if you suggest the president is to unmotivated to prepare adequately for the debate, that's racist. Or if you say he isn't intellectually capable of arguing his case extemporaneously, that's also racist. Huh? ... OH, I get it, you mean because he's black. Oh, because black people are like that, so if I say that about him, it's because he's black. Now I understand.

your are clueless. Everyone with complex taxes files an extension due Oct 15. Most of the forms they need from other parties aren't ready until AFTER those parties have filed their taxes on April 15. Stop seeing an evil motive in every single thing a conservative does.

Over at Huffpo they saw the charitable deduction and are now calling for an end to the "loopholes for charities". How pathetic the 47% are. Do they have any idea what would happen to the charities in this country if they were taxed? I guess that's all part of the plan - then the government WOULD be the only source of hope.
