Steelman Sends Dishonest Email to Remind Everyone She's Still Out There Somewhere
Perhaps concerned by the general lack of interest in her Senate candidacy, former Treasurer Sarah Steelman has decided to voice her support for Congressional Republicans health care dog and pony show. Steelman isn't a fan of the Democrats' health care reform bill, of course, and is doing her part to continue the misinformation and lies we've been seeing from Republicans for a long, long time.
Steelman regurgitates Republicans false rhetoric about the law's impact on unemployment (PolitiFact.com weighed in on this talking point today), and declares that "Obamacare adds $1 trillion to our national debt." This is completely misleading, of course, as the reform bill reduces the federal deficit over ten years, and it's the GOP repeal bill that will add $230B to the federal deficit.
