Obama Budget Figures For Healthcare: This Calls For Johnny Lang!

American Enterprise Institute, emphasis mine:

The Obama administration’s fiscal year 2011 budget continues a pattern of ignoring independent analysis and rigging economic assumptions to meet political goals. For the first time by any administration in memory, the Obama budget forecast rejects the Medicare Trustees’ projections for long-run healthcare cost growth. The reason: the Trustees’ projections undercut the administration’s narrative that increased federal control over private sector healthcare could painlessly reduce Medicare and Medicaid costs. The Obama budget instead assumes long-term health cost growth at twice the rate projected by the Trustees.

We may need to discuss a new National Anthem, and my entry would be Johnny Lang working out on “Lie to Me”

Lie to me and tell me everything is all right
Lie to me and tell me that you’ll stay here tonight
Tell me that you’ll never leave
Oh, and I’ll just try to make believe
That everything, everything your telling me is true
Come on baby won’t you just

Lie to me, go ahead and lie to me

Lie to me, it doesn’t matter anymore
It could never be, the way it was before
If I can’t hold on to you
Leave me somethin’ I can hold onto
For just a little while won’t you, won’t you let me be

Oh, anyone can see
That you love him more than me
But right now baby let me pretend
That our love will never end

Lie to me, go ahead and lie to me
