It’s Time to “Buck Up”
by Mike on Jul.20, 2009, under Political
The AP is reporting the following regarding the annual July budget update prepared by the Administration:
The release of the update _ usually scheduled for mid-July _ has been put off until the middle of next month, giving rise to speculation the White House is delaying the bad news at least until Congress leaves town on its August 7 summer recess.
So we’re in a huge rush to give over our health care system to the government, with full knowledge that this program is going to cost Trillions of future dollars in the future, yet we are not allow to understand where we stand today financially. This is the equivalent to a family rushing out to buy a new house without considering whether it has enough income to pay for that house.
President Obama ran on a pledge of full transparency of government. Now it is time to ‘buck up” and give the American taxpayer all the relevant information necessary to understand the fiscal implications of this plan.
