ObamaCare Will Increase The Deficit. True Or False?
IBD's Capital Hill ^ | 7/27/2010 | David Hogberg

There is no definitive answer to the above question. All we have are projections, and those can be grossly inaccurate.

Nevertheless, the National Council on Aging uses that question as part of a survey to determine how well-informed seniors are about ObamaCare. The survey (pdf) gave respondents the following statement: “The new law is projected to increase the federal budget deficit over the next ten years and beyond.” Respondents could say true, false, or don’t know.

According to NCOA, only 14% got the correct answer, false; 49% said it was true, and 37% said they didn’t know.

And not if they tell all seniors to take a pill and call me in the morning.

Based off of rigged numbers that the dems forced the CBO to use in their analysis?

How can any sane person believe the numbers they are projecting?

"and 37% said they didn’t know."

It's always "37%."

It's amazing that this many people go through life in a coma.

Personally, there should be no poll with "undecided" or "don't know (because I'm too friggin stupid)" options.
