The "Fix" Is In; No Problems Actually Fixed

When she voted to make the flawed Obamacare legislation the law of the land Congresswoman Mary Jo Kilroy promised us it would lower the deficit. Her ridiculous assertion was based on the assumption that Congress would not cancel a programmed cut in the reimbursement rate doctors receive for treating Medicare patients. As we've known from the beginning, Mary Jo was lying through her teeth.

It would have been more believable had the Democrats told us Dennis Kucinich was going to start calling himself Rumpelstiltskin and spin straw into gold, but Congresswoman Kilroy and her ilk are full of crap not creativity so the "doc fix" lie is the best they could come up with.

Yesterday Mary Jo Kilroy voted to cancel the programmed cuts to the medicare reimbursement rate--just as we all knew she was planning to do back when she was making wild claims about how Obamacare would lower the deficit. After all, her ideological twin Nancy Pelosi had stated that the Congressional Democrats were "committed" to doing this.

And now they've done it. Except they didn't solve the long-term problem.

This vote was just another short-term "fix". Congresswoman Kilroy voted us $23 billion deeper into the red and left the problem simmering until January 1, 2012. We needed a solution, and she gave us a "fix".

Let's make sure Congresswoman Kilroy isn't in office two years from now when the Medicare reimbursement rate needs tackled again or it'll never get solved.
