Sebelius Cracks! Admits the Obamacare Books Were Cooked

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

The House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee invited Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to swing by and have a little chin wag about the budgetary implications of ObamaCare. Representative John Shimkus (R-IL) noticed that the rather large sum of $500 billion was dedicated to both sustaining Medicare and funding ObamaCare. When he asked Sebelius which destiny awaited those five hundred billion clams, she replied, "Both."

That's right, folks: another part of the ObamaCare fraud involved double-counting half a trillion dollars. Shimkus said he was "shocked" to learn this. "We knew the health care law's actual cost was much greater than originally told to the public," he declared. "And now, the truth is slowly coming out in administration reports and testimony." In other news, Shimkus was equally "shocked" to discover there was gambling going on at Rick's Café.

What's the issue? This is the same Congressman that slammed Sebelius just a year ago on Twitter for cutting Medicare by $500 billion. Is that not what the GOP is now all about? Cut, cut, cut? I mean, what exactly is he complaining about? That the cost explosion in Medicare is being curbed from 8% to 6% making both saved funds available as well as put the program on more solid grounds in the long term? Why is one excluding the other?

RepSchimkus on Twitter 02/04/10: Sec Sebelius just confirmed that the Pres supports cutting $500 Billion from Medicare to help pay for a new entitlement.

Shimkus is the guy who thinks global warming is BS because it says so in the Bible?

Yes that one. He is not the most brilliant mind.
