Americans shouldn’t trust Obama, Pelosi or scientists to use honest numbers

Trust makes the world go round, and distrust stops us in our tracks.

There is no trust in America. We just don’t believe the economic forecasts coming out of President Obama’s administration, Congress, the Congressional Budget Office or conflicted health care economists like Harvard University’s Jonathan Gruber. No one who’s paying attention has believed anything Al Gore has said over the last 20 years about climate change or anything else.
