ObamaCare Costs A Trillion $ : 88% More then Obama Said

WOW - Here is just another 'good' reason to vote for Obama. But with all this information at the disposal of the general public, why would they willing vote for someone that will insure their future demise? The sick, seniors and any other groups that depends on government for their health care.

Why do Lemmings plunge off the cliff? Easy, they are just following the nutjob in the lead!

The Obama administration has passed a slew of regulations, including the new health care law, which together are poised to cost taxpayers and businesses more than originally assumed. According to estimates by Wayne Crews of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the cost of regulations will be about $1.8 trillion annually, nearly 20 times the $88 billion initially assumed, says the Washington Examiner.

The regulations are as onerous as they are numerous and will end up hurting many businesses. Some of the most expensive regulations include:

•The baseline for annual economic regulation: $373 billion.
•The baseline for aggregate annual social regulations: $406 billion.
•Regulations on the Department of Health and Human Services: $184.805 billion.
•Federal Communications Commission: $141.58 billion.
•Department of Homeland Security: $55.331 billion.

The roundup of the costs looks at the costs estimated by federal agencies as well as hard-to-calculate costs such as antitrust intervention, regulation of electricity networks and costs of constrained access to natural resources. The $1.8 trillion estimate is close to the $1.7 trillion estimate from the Small Business Administration, which the White House is eager to distance itself from.
