Democrats to spend $125 million to sell Obamacare

Back to Obamacare again. Democrats feel the need to spend $125 million over the next five years to sell the healthcare program that most people love to hate. Again, they say they have just not communicated the program very well, so we are going to get bombarded with more propaganda.

This is kinda like beating a dead horse isn't it? Over the next several years, we are going to truly find out whether we like it or not. I've read plenty that large and small businesses alike are going to dump millions of employees from their healthcare programs. That is just one potential issue going forward.

We probably need to reserve judgment on the whole thing for a few years. However, I will say this...when I see how Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are bleeding red ink, I will never be convinced that this was a good idea. The government doesn't tend to manage anything very well and it doesn't matter who is in charge. All I see now are deficits that continue to rise and no one has the balls to reign them in, especially since our economy remains fragile.

So, spending another $125 million is like a drop in the bucket, but couldn't that money be better spent elsewhere?
