New Obama ad: 'I believe'

[MannyGoldstein]

20. Looks like 2.5 million more Americans are in poverty yearly

If that number stays the same - and there's no reason to believe it is true unless Obama and Congress abandon Hoover economics - we'll have about 12 million more Americans in poverty in 2014 than when Obama first took office. A little less than the 16 million that you claim RomneyObamaCare will add to the roles.

But let's say that your supposition is correct, that all people get Medicare once they're in poverty, and RomneyObamaCare adds 16 million people beyond the 12 million added by government economic policy. Let's take a look at what that will cost, vs. whet it would have cost if Obama followed through on his promise to create public-option health insurance.

Got to run off to a commitment now, but I'll do these numbers later.
