Vice President Joe Biden stayed one night in Paris during the
first European tour of his second term racking up a hotel bill of
$585,000.50, reports the Weekly Standard.
On March 20, the Washington Examiner’s Philip Klein reported that it
seems Obamacare’s true costs are starting to sink in with its most
ardent supporters: Democrats. Despite years of the liberal media
reporting that this new trillion dollar health care entitlement will save money over the next decade, that outcome is, to be generous, highly dubious,
especially with the possibility of eleven million new illegals being
able to apply for health care benefits, the cost of health care will
have to increase.
On Thursday’s NewsHour, PBS co-anchor Hari Sreenivasan misled
viewers in a story about the latest action in Congress regarding the
$984-billion continuing resolution -- a spending bill which will fund
federal government operations through September 30, when the current
fiscal year ends. Said Sreenivasan: “That spending legislation was necessary because Congress hasn't passed a budget in years.”
While that sentence is true, it's incredibly misleading in that the
U.S. House of Representatives has repeatedly passed budget resolutions.
It's just that the Democratic-controlled Senate has failed to approve a
budget, any budget, in more than three years.
