New Numbers: ObamaCare Cracks the $1Trillion MarkThis month the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released information that should come as a surprise to absolutely no one, including, most of all the Obama Administration.

Well, maybe it isn’t that happy, but now with tax freedom day behind us and the you all paid up with the government, maybe now you can get on to spending your money the way you think it should be spent. Democrats Trade Hearing Aids for Earplugs Big-government politicians frequently count on the American people to have short memories, better yet if the people have no memory at all. Thank the Lord for old-fashioned filing cabinets. Just by visiting mine, I can easily pull out one of the many pieces of mail I filed away from candidate Obama less than 20 months ago. There, in colorful blue ink, it states quite clearly that “unlike the other party — who listen only to Washington D.C. lobbyists — Barack Obama Will Listen to Us.” Oh really? When the American people spoke about his plan to socialize medicine, this is what they said: April 14, 2010 | Read more… March 2010 UpdateMonthly Email UpdateClick here to join our email list. 60 Plus Koop Video Hits a Nerve Many thanks are in order again to Dr. C. Everett Koop for lending his ample credibility and authority to a 60 Plus ad that has caused a storm on the internet. After watching the video of our former Surgeon General state the fact quite plainly that cutting $500 billion (a low estimate) from Medicare will lead to rationing, thus worse care for our seniors, the liberal bottled-water carriers for President Obama gnashed their teeth loudly enough to be heard through their computer monitors. Thousands of web hits stirred thousands more responses, many positive and many furious that Dr. Koop dare tell the truth. This proves once again that when you tell the truth and stand-up to big government plans to socialize medicine, you WILL make some people very unhappy. But this raises the question about many of the liberals hurtling insults at 60 Plus and Dr. Koop: were these people EVER happy? America Yawns, Watches Obama Healthcare Summit Plummet The media hailed it as the new “Paris Peace Talks,” salivating at the promotional possibilities and points to be scored by President Obama’s “Healthcare Summit” February 25th. The result? A snoozer that bored the American people with confusing, convoluted policy-talk that offered no proof that this healthcare legislation would provide the least bit of benefit to them and their families. Maybe a “Summit” wouldn’t be necessary if President Obama had just kept the original promise of Candidate Obama, who vowed that as President he would hold open and transparent healthcare talks on national TV, include all interested parties for a discussion to be shared with the American people. No wonder few trust this healthcare bill; it is coming from a President and Congressional leaders who have proven themselves so untrustworthy.

Harry Reid – The Martha Stewart of the Senate, but with No Jail Time Here’s a question: Why are bribes, kickbacks, payoffs, and insider trading illegal everywhere but in the U.S. Congress? It’s been well-publicized that Senate Democrat leader Harry Reid is cutting backroom deals to his Senate colleagues, plying them with billions of our tax dollars (and debt to future generations) to get to the 60 votes needed to push Obamacare on the nation. Among the 11 Senate bribes made by Reid are $100 million to a university in Connecticut for Sen. Chris Dodd and $300 million for Medicaid to Louisiana Senator Mary Landrieu. The latter seems like a steal, it cost twice as much – $600 million in Medicaid payments – to buy the vote of Socialist Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. For a more comprehensive list of how our tax dollars are being used for Obamacare bribes, click here. Don’t hold your breath waiting for any indictments. This is Washington, D.C. after all. Poor Martha Stewart, she had to make pot holders in an orange jumpsuit for months because of her insider trading activity. Now the taxes she pays (and ALL of us pay) are being used to pay for kickbacks and insider deals to buy a ‘yea’ vote for Obamacare. Exactly what is the difference here? A stock market works with the understanding that all participants are on an equal playing field with regard to the rules and available information. The U.S. Senate works under the pretense that each member has a vote worth exactly 1% of the entire body, no more no less. And it’s not just legislators who are getting payoffs to support the President’s nationalized healthcare legislation. Labor unions have traded their support for a payoff that spares their members from paying $60 billion in proposed health insurance taxes. Ironically, in 1995, Congress passed the Medicare Fraud Statute to prosecute kickbacks in the healthcare industry, preventing referrals and sweetheart arrangements. So, regardless of what you may think of Martha Stewart, she was convicted of breaking the rules, and she paid the price. While Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats cut deals to benefit one group of Americans at the expense of others, the only ones paying the price for their scheme of bribes and kickbacks will be us, the American people, the taxpayers. 60 Plus in the News 60 Plus is keeping the pressure on our lawmakers to vote ‘No’ on Obamacare or face the wrath of the voters come November. While 60 Plus Chairman Jim Martin travels the country, holds rallies in places like St. Petersburg, Florida and speaks on national news outlets, we continue to make waves on the air with a hefty television campaign. Over the last month, we completed a $1.7 million ad buy in four more states demanding that Senators restore the more than $500 billion cut in Medicare proposed by President Obama. 60 Plus allocated more than $10 million to TV ads in a dozen states chastising Senators and House Members who failed to vote against the massive cuts to Medicare and thanking those, Democrats and Republicans alike, who voted to oppose the cuts.
