Obama's Health Care Plan Will Cost Up To $65 Billion A Year; Equal To $260 Billion Over Four Years."[Obama] campaign officials estimated that the net cost of the plan to the federal government would be $50 billion to $65 billion a year,
A report released last week by the Democratic staff of Congress's Joint Economic Committee put the war's 2002-08 tab at $1.3 trillion.
When U.S. troops invaded Iraq in March 2003, the Bush administration predicted that the war would be self-financing and that rebuilding the nation would cost less than $2 billion.
Coming up on the fifth anniversary of the invasion, a Nobel laureate now estimates that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are costing America more than $3 trillion.

No need to back it up, your taxes didn't go up since the war began. If that doesn't explain it, what does? Other countries have paid for it mostly (the Iraq War). China, Japan and the list goes on. Do the research.
The point is, your taxes will GO UP bigtime to cover Obama's plans for the US to solve Global Hunger (as IF it is OUR responsibility in the first place).
Univerals Healthcare, 'nuff said.

Socialism never works. This universal health care plan is stupid. Sure you'll get healthcare for cheaper, but you also have to pay more taxes anyway, so you're really saving no money. The government just can't get this money for 'universal healthcare' from thin air.
The only people that will be getting healthcare for free/cheap are lazy people who leech off of society and are too lazy to get a job. If we stopped sugar coating things for them and giving free handouts, it would cure the sloths of their lazyness and they would be forced to get a job and become a productive member of society to stay alive like everyone else does.

Obama will not bring the troops home in a timely fashion.

Obama, will take from you! Cutting middle class tax, and then reinstantiatiing it for higher taxes? Yeah, sure.
Bottom line, war or not, you are going to be affected much more directly than before with regard to your income.
Stop drinking the Kool-aid.

I also find it funny people vote for liberals to bring down the size of government that Bush created and to end the war, when in fact liberals are for those things.
Just look at the very meaning of the words liberal and conservative. If you're sitting at a table with your family and you say to your mom "please give me a liberal amount of those mashed potatoes" you're saying you want a LOT. If you say "give me a conservative amount" you are saying you want a LITTLE.
Liberals = MORE war, BIGGER government, MORE spending, etc. I don't think anyone on these forums are for that... so why do we have people that declare themselves as liberals and vote for democrats like Obama or Hillary? J
ust look at all past wars, Democrats have always gotten us into wars and Republicans have gotten us out.
For the record, Bush and McCain are also liberals, they are RINOs (Republicans in Name Only). The only issues they are conservative on is taxes, and abortion, which is not a whole lot.
