I just realized Joe Biden actually told the truth about something

Recently Joe Biden told an AARP audience that in order for the US to avoid going bankrupt we needed to spend a trillion dollars on health care reform.

(CNSNews.com) – Vice President Joe Biden told people attending an AARP town hall meeting that unless the Democrat-supported health care plan becomes law the nation will go bankrupt and that the only way to avoid that fate is for the government to spend more money.


Everyone pretty roundly ridiculed him for the remark but this evening I realized he is teeling the truth.

Here's the realization I came to - Health care reform isn't really about health care at all, it's about reducing the entitlement burden from an aging US population. By rationing care to older people they will die off sooner reducing the long term costs to Social Security and Medicare.

It's a short term investment for a long term payoff.

Sneaky 'lil batards huh?
