Impressive: Vicky Hartzler Packs Two Ginormous Lies Into One Tiny Tweet

In a tweet to followers this morning, Rep. Vicky Hartzler described health care reform as a "job-killing, deficit-increasing, unconstitutional government takeover." 

First, PolitiFact.com called Republicans' "government takeover" nonsense their Lie of the Year for 2010.   

Second, the health care reform law reduces the deficit.  It's,like, a fact.  When the Congressional Budget Office scored the bill in March, they determined that the law will cut $1.3 trillion from the deficit over 20 years while increase coverage so that 95 percent of Americans will have health insurance. And this week, the CBO released its analysis showing that the Republican repeal plan will add $230 billion to the deficit over the next ten years.

Nice try, though.
