Medicaid Expansion May Cost $90 Billion, Double U.S. Forecast
April 25 (Bloomberg) — Texas officials say expanding Medicaid under the U.S. health-care law will cost their state as much as $27 billion. In New Hampshire, the same change is projected to save state taxpayers $49 million.
The costs of enlarging the program may be more than double estimates by the Congressional Budget Office, a Bloomberg Government study of 35 states found.
ok dibs, I agree that the spending problem is much larger than the revenue problem.
However, I think that a holistic approach to the spending problem needs to be taken, including medicare, medicaid, SS, social programs, and military spending.
I also think a holistic approach to the revenue side is needed as as well, including the elimination of deductions/credits and the return to previous effective rates for taxpayers at all income levels.

Table F-7, defense spending has almost doubled since 2000. there’s your problem.
“i find it hard to believe in 2008-2009 teachers and old people swindled the country for a trillion dollars.”
[Just wait. No doubt they’ll blame the Jews.]

“increase in spending came in 2008 and 2009, so Iraq explains less than half of it.”
