Clyburn Has No Clue About Economy or Health Care
Clyburn, a South Carolina Democrat, said the results of health care reform will be staggering, and not only in the way it will change lives.
“I think what you will see is our economy take off like it’s never taken off before,” Clyburn said. He added that providing health care was the biggest drag on the American automotive industry, causing it to lose a competitive edge to foreign-made vehicles.
Obama wants health care reform that will control rising costs, guarantee a choice of doctors and make coverage high-quality and affordable, according to the official government Web site on the issue.
How is the economy going to massively take off when the government is going to be hiking taxes at all levels to pay for this “free” health care which isn’t deficit neutral? The CBO has already said the Democrats’ health care bill will cost far more than they are claiming. The government will be pulling even more money out of the economy than there is now to pay for this “free” health care. And can Clyburn explain exactly how government controlling costs is going to result in high quality affordable health care? They always say this, but never explain how this massive government power grab will achieve this. The bigger question is, has Clyburn actually read the bill?

Since the chairman of the judiciary, himself a lawyer, claims it would take him and two more lawyers to read and understand these bills – what’s the use for any of them to read them? Instead of trying to get them to read the undecipherable, why not get them to write the laws in plain English to begin with?
