Obama budget speech fact checked


President Barack Obama misrepresented the House Republicans’ budget plan at times and exaggerated its impact on U.S. residents during an April 13 speech on deficit reduction.

• TUO/Obama Obama claimed the Republicans’ "Path to Prosperity" plan would cause "up to 50 million Americans … to lose their health insurance.”

• TUO said the GOP plan would replace Medicare with "a voucher program that leaves seniors at the mercy of the insurance industry."

• TUO said “poor children,” “children with autism” and “kids with disabilities” would be left “to fend for themselves"

• TUO repeated a deceptive talking point that the new health care law will reduce the deficit by $1 trillion.

• TUO falsely claimed that making the Bush tax cuts permanent would give away "$1 trillion worth of tax cuts for every millionaire and billionaire."

• TUO said the tax burden on the wealthy is the lowest it has been in 50 years.

Note from the right jack: TUO/Obama and the Democrats in the Senate and House spread "factless" lies and exaggerations with predictable regularity. Unfortunately, the Big Time Dying Democrat Media provides unfair and unbalanced support and cover for the Left. They seldom if ever question what Democrats say and do. US Taxpayers and US Voters need to be aware of what is being said and who is saying it.
