OVER ONE HUNDREDmore examples of Fox News Bias at www.youtube.com Fox News coverage of the health reform debate has been pretty bad, as I’ve shown in multiple videos, and last week was no different when a supposed straight news story and interview of Republican Senator Judd Gregg by Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer on the program “America’s Newsroom” examined the cost of health reform, mentioning the deficit and the debt several times, without ever mentioning the over $1 TRILLION in deficit reduction in the Senate bill as I show in this video. The clip of President Barack Obama’s December 21, 2009, news event on government efficiency and effectiveness that I use in this video comes from the PUBLIC DOMAIN video uploaded by the White House available online at www.youtube.com The clips of the supposed straight news story and interview of Republican Senator Judd Gregg by Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer on the program “America’s Newsroom” comes from the episode broadcast on December 22, 2009, that is available in full online at www.youtube.com And, finally, as always, you can find DOZENS and DOZENS more examples of Fox News bias on my Fox News bias playlist on YouTube at www.youtube.com
AHAHAHAHA. How can you read the word ‘fiscal’ as ‘physical’…
All your points are mute since the HHS announced that the bill in fact increases the deficit by over 300 billion over 10 years even after all the tax increases.
Great LiberalViewer. All your points are mute since the HHS announced that the bill in fact increases the deficit by over 300 billion over 10 years even after all the tax increases.

Gotta love that “Health care countdown” intro Bill has. Classic evil DAH DUH at the end and “countdown” as though this were some final death blow to the idealic america that never existed.
@neoblast1 cause conservatives were asleep; i was one of them.
we’re here now, lets fix it instead of aimlessly pointing fingers and saying whose fault it is.
@MsScarletJ wow thats old; so because it’s bush’s fault; obama can do whatever he wants….
the conservatives dont want the health care reform because they understand that this ‘free’ health care has to be paid by someone; you that tax payer… they raise taxes on the rich, the rich will get pissed off and leave for a country that isnt trying to rob them of every cent they earn. this reduces the amount of tax revenue which increases the burden on the top and middle class; repeating the cycle.
Fox is shit. Pure shit
Ugh, even worse than I wrote.
Reducing the deficit by raising taxes and reducing spending, would be like a business reducing debt by forcing customers to buy their product at a higher* price (increasing taxes), and making the product crappier or less costly (reducing spending).
Unless somehow gov. is becoming more efficient – but why raise taxes, then? Just continue to become more “efficient”.
Reducing the deficit: by raising taxes and reducing spending, would be like a business reducing their debt by forcing customers to buy their product at the same price, and making it a crappier or less costly product.
Or, reducing the deficit: by forcing someone to buy health insurance and price-fixing, would be like a business forcing a customer to buy their product, after raising the price.
@Bluhblam With no fanfare and little notice, the national debt has grown by more than $4 trillion during George W. Bush’s presidency.
It’s the biggest increase under any president in U.S history.
On the day President Bush took office, the national debt stood at $5.727 trillion. The latest number from the Treasury Department shows the national debt now stands at more than $9.84
@Bluhblam type in google: bush debt 9 trillions you’ll see what i mean. i cant give you link new youtube dont like links
@Bluhblam @Bluhblam are YOU a joke????
@neoblast1 Is that a joke. When Bush left office it was at 450 BILLION. Once Obama got the deficit to 1.5 TRILLION is was considered the highest American Deficit EVER. You are spewing pure bullshit. You have no clue what happened, and guess what, I actually did research to support my argument. You on the other hand are making this shit up as you go. Don’t go blaiming people for other people’s fault.
You should not worry about hearing reports and read the bill. Due your duty and get informed for yourself instead of letting someone feed you the information. That is the first problem we seem to have. It could be solved just by reading.
This is not true. The savings come when they build community health centers that poor people can access and get the treatment that they need. Stopping them from using emergency rooms to get care. Can’t you see how that can save money? Read the bill and you can find the information there on how the cbo comes to their conclusion.
as for the additional $1.3T for the following decade, this number has even greater level of uncertainty, and the cbo makes mention of this.
furthermore, i gotta admit, i’m little bit worried when the cbo report says things like this:
“It is unclear whether such a reduction in the growth rate of spending could be achieved, and if so, whether it would be accomplished through greater efficiencies in the delivery of health care or through reductions in access to care or the quality of care.”
@lv, i have two major problems with the cbo report. one, is the uncertainty associated with just its 10 year projections. they’re talking about a $134B decrease in deficit spending, but the actual deficit is still predicted to be about $10T, so the actual “savings” is within a range of uncertainty that could swing either way.
@cristoballs The CBO estimates this health care bill saves > $1 trillion over 20 years because the tax increases and spending cuts in the bill more than pay for the additional spending. That’s “fiscally responsible” because, again, unlike the Republican’s Medicare prescription drug plan passed under Bush, this bill reduces the deficit compared to what it would be w/o this bill. The NRO article you sent me about “frontloading” isn’t accurate. See, eg,

Thx 4 commenting
@floydtron if it follows the same logic that they used to calculate the $140B, then it’s not a real savings. i’d be more impressed with a president who produces a one dollar surplus, than i am with one who raises the deficit by $2T and then backs off by $140B.
@cristoballs
The approximately $1.2 Trillion in savings is over the next twenty years, not ten years. The $140 Billion is over the next ten.
But you can keep it, I’ll be happy with my Canadian health care
The puzzle is almost complete. Stay put people, the worst is wet to come. Peace out!
so you trust the goverment is telling the truth that this will save money? name 1 thing in goverment that has ever saved money!
Prove to me Obama isn’t lying to us and its just going to hand out cash to unproductive goverment handout junkies. really ad 30million people to heathcare and lower costs with a goverment rogram that gives out free stuff.
btw big freaken deal if bush wasted money also, that dont make what obamas doing any better. just because bush raped my wallet dont make it ok Later
@cristoballs in other words, obama is increasing spending, far greater than what bush ever spent, and then he’s bragging about saving a measly $140B on a budget that he’s responsible for. that’s anything but fiscal responsibility.
@cristoballs *unless you NOTE that the deficit…
