There are very few laws that lower costs of anything.

Except for, like, Obamacare, that just
actually lowered the cost of drugs for Medicare patients in the donut hole by $600 a year.
Or the way Medicare-Medicaid delivers better healthcare for nearly half the cost of private insurance.
Meanwhile, in the land of pretend imaginary Muslim-Kenyan-Socialist fear, keep railing against those imaginary fears and the pretend Obama they keep feeding you, to make you "believe" the alternate reality that enables you to be used as a pawn.
Vote for the guys that destroyed the middle class and took away your future over the past 50 years. Because the black guy in the White House is trying to give it back to you, and they can't have that - it takes money out of their hands not to privatize your Social Security and Medicare for their profit.
Why do you think so many Republican state governments have abandoned pensions ("union busting those freeloading teachers and cops and firemen) and gone to private 401K's? It gives Wall Street a cut of your retirement money and skims profit.
Why do Republicans want Medicare and Social Security privatized? To give Wall Street a cut of the last remaining huge government cash stack that exists and skim profit.
Why do Republicans and Mitt Romney want to
increase the defense budget even though we are getting out of war? There are huge private profits to be made in defense contracting, and they don't want that to go way because wars are over.
Why do Republicans want schools privatized? Because there is profit to be skimmed of the top.
Reagan famously started training citizens to believe this crap, with his "government is the problem, not the solution" lie. Then, they told you that the wealth would "trickle down" to you, and you believed it.
Then, over the past 50 years, the profiteers have stolen all the money in the US, eliminating the middle class and putting 47% of Americans at or near poverty.
LOOK! A black Muslim Kenyan Socialist to fear! Why is 47% of the country at or near poverty? .... Um ... it's because the black guy and those Dems give away food stamps to pretend welfare queens! Yeah, that's it! Don't look at us!" Elect Romney-Ryan and Republicans! We are the "job creators" that "help" the economy (unless you look at our actual performance record of raising taxes and causing deficits and economic grief over the past 50 years as we have tried to privatize the country)
Believing that "government can't do anything right and is wasteful" is just a lie, told to drain cash out of the citizens hands and into private hands that can profit off that cash.
"Don't elect your fellow citizens to supervise your stack of group cash (taxes) - let this private company look out for your group interests. We can do it better, and for cheaper cost"
Yeah, right. That's a disproven lie.
Mitt Romney, with his "business experience" of going into a company, borrowing and mortgaging all he can on it's assets, stripping out that new-found cash for his profit, then leaving the company to survive or die on it's own in debt is exactly the perfect Republican candidate. That is
exactly what the GOP has done to America over the past 50 years, and what they want to continue to do with the last remaining cash stack, your Medicare and Social Security, defense and schools.
